Running Multiple instances of Firefox ESR 52 Portable

Submitted by rpaz on July 21, 2017 - 6:52am

Hi,

Recently I upgraded my Firefox ESR to v52.2.1 and notice I can't run more Firefox instances despite the fact i have FirefoxPortable.ini set like this:
---
[FirefoxPortable]
AllowMultipleInstances=true
---

Firefox itself presented the error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window

Did some testing and found that this version only accepts multiple instances if the -no-remote option is not passed to firefox.exe by the portable launcher.

Default preferences

Hi,

In a local Firefox installation is it possible to set preferences at /Firefox/defaults/pref/all.js (or other name js file). It is useful for setting preferences to remain after every restart overwriting the user settings, or setting a mozilla.cfg file to lock some settings. We need it to lock some proxy settings before distribute the portable Firefox to our users.

I tried it with Firefox Portable and it doesn't seems to read Firefox/defaults/pref/*.js files. How can I do it with the Firefox Portable?

Thx

LastPass for Firefox Portable discontinued

Just wanted to let everyone know that LastPass has discontinued the add-on for Firefox Portable. Problem is, that the add-on doesn't connect to the safe anymore after typing in the master-password! It's now only working with the installed version of Firefox. In my case it doesn't make any sense to continue using this browser now. Is there an alternative password manager that works as easy as LastPass and that works with the portable version of Firefox, Chrome, etc.?
