Firefox Portable

Custom version of portable Firefox (Windows, Mac OSX)

Submitted by Tom-Arn_Identitas on April 7, 2016 - 11:11am

Hello everybody

The company I work for (Identitas AG, www.identitas.ch) has a very large Silverlight Browser Application which is used by about 60‘000 users.
By 01.01.2017 all major browsers (except Internet Explorer) will not support the Silverlight plugin anymore.
That’s why we are migrating our application away from Silverlight, but we will not be able to finish this task in time.

Can't get Java working - either installed in the system, or through jPortable

Submitted by Kernel on March 31, 2016 - 12:27am

I'm running Firefox Portable x64. I need Java support. While Java (both 32 and 64 bit) are installed on the machine in question, my understanding is that Firefox Portable requires jPortable.

I understand that 32-bit plugins won't work in a 64-bit browser. However, since jPortable is available in a 64 bit version, I'm assuming that Firefox Portable x64 should be able to work with it - but I'm not having any luck so far.

What am I doing wrong?

Firefox Downloads from Sourceforge Failing

For the past several months, downloads of Firefox portable routinely fail, or take excruciatingly long to download. This occurs in either the 'automatic' update within the Portableapps platform, or if I try to download the paf.exe file directly from Sourceforge. I only seem to have this issue with the Mozilla portable apps, Firefox and/or Thunderbird. I have no issues with any other portable apps I use. Other large downloads,such as Chrome, are quick and error free. Is this a Sourceforge issue?

XPCOM Error and New Install Don't Work

Submitted by tompet61 on March 5, 2016 - 7:57am

Only problems with Firefox since version 44.0. Most of the errors are already addressed in other threads but I got an error saying “can’t load XPCOM”. I have done a check disk from Windows Vista and it did some repairs of broken items on the external hard drive. It didn’t make any difference. Then I followed advice I found online for the regular Firefox and uninstalled everything, after taking back up, of course.

font display issues after update from 43 to 44

Hi there,

after updating my Firefox Portable from 43.0.4 to 44.0.2, some text is displayed wonky here and there. The fonts look pixelated and sometimes also the colour is off, interestingly.

I remembered I had issues with this before and that I fixed it with either hardware accelation and/or anti-alias settings, so I fiddled with these in the FF config, but it didn’t change anything. I also checked my Windows settings, all fine, ClearType is on and fine-tuned. I also re-started FF in Safe Mode, the problem persisted.
