Can anybody give me tips on how to do this? Thanks.
Hello, i currently have FF installed on my PC (and use PFF on usb for other PCs).
but i would like to make PFF my main/only version of FF.. however my FF is pretty heavily customised, and i dont want to re-start doing all the settings, extensions and bookmarks all over again..
the aim is to copy PFF onto a ramdisk at startup to prevent HDD seeks when browsing (and maybe copy any changes back at shutdown). Also how would i get the start menu's 'internet' link to point to this ramdisk'ed version of PFF.
so how should i go about doing this? (the ff -> pff part)
Hello
Mozilla Master Certificate works well when Firefox is launched from "App\firefox\Firefox.exe", with the master certificate (systemSignature.jar) in the same directory as Firefox.exe, and the Issuer CA certificate loaded in the certificate store.
The Mozilla Master certificate is not working (not found?) when Firefox is launched from the PortableFirefoxe.exe file.
I've even copied systemSignature.jar file in every directories of PFF without any success either.
Can somebody help me with this?

Anyone else finding Portable FireFox uses 100% CPU power?
I think it occurs on website that require flash and when it's not installed in FireFox has this happen on two installtions of windows and using on my normal hard drive
TR/Dldr.Zlob.VV.2 Reinstalling from the site dosent help. Either it reinfects instantly, or its in the package. in any case, all AntiVir does is delete the exe, and still new ones are infected. (if thats what is happening) It only seems to like portablefirefox.exe
just sharing, i'll find a way to kill it.
Hi,
is there a possibility to add some support to run portable firefox in several instances. Right now, the portable firefox searches for running instances and if there is one, it only opens a new window of the running application.
But, if the firefox crashes (and it does from time to time, do not argue :)), all the windows are gone, all the work. I used to open several instances of iexplorer to prevent such damage. One instance for work, one for occasional fun, etc.
So, is there a possibility to open multiple independent processes of the firefox with the same settings? I do not care about the history, cache, cookies. But I do care about the extensions and bookmarks.
Hello,
I just found a Trojan in my PortableFirefox.exe. My Scanner (Antivir) told me that it found a trojan called: TR/Dldr.Zlob.VV.2. When I tried to download a fresh one from different mirrors, it always found the trojan in the "fresh" archive again. So I am not sure if the PortableFirefox.exe is reinfacted everytime again or there is a trojan on the mirrors???
N.M.
So, I had some problems because the default setting on firefox was set to automatically have it attempt to upgrade itself. After clicking no again and again (yeah, I know I should've turned off the setting but my net time was limited, and I had to get to work) I accidentally clicked yes which caused firefox to attempt to upgrade itself prior to every startup..
Well, that got old real quick, so I decided to attempt to follow the upgrade instructions on the site. Seemed like everything worked out OK, but when I booted into firefox (I presume there was a problem with one of the extensions I was using) it gave me a big error window which I couldn't get past..
I've read in the readme.txt and all that how to allow the computers Firefox and the Portable Firefox side by side, but despite setting the value to true, it always says there's another instance running.
Any idea why this isn't working?
Most other apps have been 'upxed', but firefox.exe not.
Using upx -9 PortableFirefox\App\firefox.exe saves 4mb with no performance issue as I see it).
Tried it too with thunderbird.exe but somehow it doesn't work ok.
