Firefox Portable

Cannot get jportable 7u51 to run correctly on FFPortable 48 without full Java 7u51 installed

Submitted by Mikko on September 25, 2018 - 12:39pm

Hi,
I've got several Windows 10 (v1803) 64bit machines where I've tried to run jPortable in Firefox Portable without success.
We have multiple legacy systems that require Java7 and specific versions of it on browser plugin, so to be able to connect, we've used FirefoxPortable 48 and jPortable 7u51.
I also have native Java8u171 installed on the systems.
I've used this same setup in Windows 7 SP1 64bit machines for years without any problems but with Windows10 I cannot get this to work.

Window position on second monitor shifts when reopened

Submitted by OsakaWebbie on September 17, 2018 - 4:44am

I have a Windows 10 laptop and an ultrawide (3440x1440) second monitor, and I scale both monitors to 125% for readability. I use PortableApps but don't "port" it - it's simply installed in a folder on my main drive. I have Firefox Quantum 62.0, Portable of course. I normally keep my Firefox window on the second monitor, and it used to happily open wherever it was when I closed it previously. One day that changed. Now, if it was closed while on that second monitor, it will reopen below and to the right of where it was when it closed (roughly 360 pixels down and 160 pixels to the right).

Firefox Portable 62.0

Hi all, hope you can help.

Firefox portable is not saving or caching my bookmarks and or browser history. Any ideas what could be causing this? Everytime I close and open it just opens a fresh Firefox.

Thanks for any help in advanced.

firefox portable crash

Submitted by figosound on August 28, 2018 - 10:58am

Hi everybody, I have a minor but very frustrating issue with my firefox. I have to use this portable USB stick in order to digitally sign documents, and it contains a preinstalled Firefox Portable which is the one I have to use because of certificates. Every time I put the stick in, I shut down the local Firefox installation, then I start the portable one, and here is the problem: EVERY time it crashes, sometimes just the tabs (The "gah - blablabla" error), often the whole application, and sometimes even the crash reporter.

Firefox Quantum 61.0.2 (64-bit) Can't create a bookmark

For the last several weeks I am not able to create a valid bookmark in Firefox. Clicking the star icon does nothing. If I open the bookmarks manager and try to manually create a bookmark, it will only create a blank bookmark and will not retain what was entered. If have tried starting with no extensions (no effect), I have also tried renaming the xulstore.json file with no luck as well. Anyone have any information on how to correct this situation?

Thanks in advance

Strange Profile Problem

Submitted by liaemars on July 30, 2018 - 7:18am

First time poster, but long-time user of portable apps!

I'm having a strange problem with Firefox. It seems to function correctly on most PCs but there's one that consistently gives me a "profile missing" error message. I click OK and then FF seems to function okay, although it periodically throws up the error.

I've error checked the drive, and tested in different USB ports, but the behaviour persists ... but only on that particular PC.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the anomaly?

Firefox 60+ GPOs / Registry

Submitted by andreasde on July 30, 2018 - 4:40am

Hey Folks,

with Firefox 60 GPO-Support for Windows got introduced: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/03/10/firefox-60-ships-with-windows-group-po...
Firefox Portable reads the registry-path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\ and locks for example the Installation of Plugins.

Can i somehow configure the FireFox Portable that he ignores this registry Keys?

Thank you!
