Extensions Vanishing from Firefox Portable

Submitted by Mealy on April 25, 2017 - 12:49pm

For some reason after installing FFP and adding No Script Security Suite and HTTPS Everywhere extensions, and then browsing with both extensions working fine, upon restarting Firefox the next browsing session, all my extensions were gone. A search in the installation folder turned up nothing recognisable. I installed both extensions again, and again, upon restarting Firefox, both were gone. The issue may not be peculiar to FFP.

ESR version jump (?)

Submitted by GDVX_111 on April 22, 2017 - 3:35pm

For ESR (the primary but not the only version I run), the most recent one available as of yesterday (4/21/17) was 4580. Today, I see this has somehow jumped to 5210 (?), however I am still getting Mozilla messages to update ESR to v. 4590. So I'm a bit confused. Standard portable has just released v. 53.

Need Single instance of FFP with mulltiple .exe's concurrent with installed FF

Submitted by bitpicker on April 19, 2017 - 6:15pm

Getting Firefox is already running. Running installed FF 52.0.2 (32 bit) and Portable 2.0.4.1 as downloaded. AllowMultipleInstances=true and moved to FirefoxPortable.exe dir. Would like to have new tabs opened instead of new window. Many reported problems are looking for multiple instances and not what I am looking for.

Enter key no longer working for URLs typed into address bar

Submitted by PetersT on April 18, 2017 - 12:34pm

Recently, I've lost the ability to type a URL into the address bar and press ENTER to go to that site. Instead, nothing happens, and I have to use my mouse to click the arrow to the right of the address field in order to get to the site. This isn't the only aggravation I've been dealing with lately, but I'll stick to one problem at a time. Is there anything in the configuration settings that could cause this behavior (not that I recall having changed anything of late).

Running Firefox Portable Completely Offline

Submitted by Shankar Swamy on March 29, 2017 - 1:44pm

Hello,

I am wondering whether it is possible to turn off the Internet access to Firefox Portable and make it open only the files on the disk (USB Drive included)?

I use it strictly for Browsing HTML files cached on my disk and would like Firefox to not go online, at least not first without warning me.

Thanks for your time!
