About current Firefox Portable 105.0.2 and recurring Profile Missing issues

Submitted by SwimmeRM+ on July 22, 2023 - 6:01pm

Hello all,

I'm sorry for adding just another post on this topic but meeting 'Profile Missing' error message is somehow becoming an issue.
1st of all I manually upgraded to current Firefox Portable v105.0.2 over previous v105.0.1 that I probably only manually upgraded over previous v104.0.2 that if I recall well still gave me infamous error even if directly manually upgraded over previous v103.0.2:
'[ Profile Missing ]
/ ! \ Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.'

OK to Delete App\Firefox folder?

Submitted by dallas7 on July 9, 2023 - 5:09pm

A while back I noticed the ESR App\Firefox folder is empty (rightly so) and the not-ESR is still fully populated.

While I never cared about the App\Firefox folder and its now 205 files worth 423 MB since backing up my live D:\PORTABLES\FirefoxPortable folder from a desktop Win10 500 GB M.2 SSD goes swiftly to my Ethernet gigabit LAN NAS (nothing Wi-Fi). But I recently began using iDrive and even though I have Quantum Fiber 200 mbps up, I'd like to eliminate the overhead of backing up that directory from the NAS to the cloud.

google pop-up is sneaking in again on some pages+ other issues

This time I can turn it off with JSwitcher add-on, but even the add-on button is now frequently missing from the toolbar on many pages. Switching it off and on again makes it reappear, but it's happening too frequently now and is very annoying...

Most important, many links on some pages would not open, including Check for Updates on add-ons page!

Don't know if it's related, but screenshot is often non-functioning too and not only on excluded pages. Someone posted about this problem and found a solution by switching it off/on in about:config - any way to fix it permanently?

Anyone else unable to "Cut" bookmarks from the Library/Downloads window?

For the last two or three updates, I have not been able to "Cut" bookmarks from the Library/Downloads popup window. The Cut option is grayed out. After the update before today's, I was able to cut again (no longer grayed out), so it was working yesterday but then this morning before today's update it stopped working.

Maybe this is only the portable version that it is not working on, but I don't want to install the desktop version to find out.

hello everyone,
i'm currently using FirefoxPortable ESR :102.1.0 customized for my application.
This version of Firefox uses the new print preview user interface which has been introduced in version 86.
In order to switch to the classic System Print Preview dialog box , i have added this preference user_pref("print.prefer_system_dialog", true).
However a problem has occured during the print procedure following these steps:
Click on print
Click on Microsoft Print to PDF
Click on PRINT
then Click on Cancel
