Firefox Portable

Downloaded Firefox Portable from https://portableapps.com/

Then used https://www.virustotal.com/en/ to scan the file for virus and found two viruses. See link below.

Does the program have a virus?

Hi,
I am facing an inconvenience that I can't quite understand. I'm doing freelance job on a client's premises and using a computer that they assigned to me for the time that I'm spending there.

Since they have their rules regarding software installation, I can't install much and consequently, I can't upgrade their old version of FF, old enough to not have Sync^^. However, I could copy Firefox portable to a folder on the disk and run it from there.

Hi,

I've installed FF portable, and Java portable but when I open FF portable mozilla opens plugins from my hard drive. How could I force FF portable to use plugins from my pendrive ??

Hello,

Dear John. T. Haller,

Do you think releasing only 64-bit version of Firefox? Like Google Chrome x64.

Copying all files from 64-bit folder to Firefox folder, than deleting 64-bit folder is it ok? will it crash or cause any problem?

I'll never need 32-bit version, and I want to make things more regular.

Regards.

I have no idea what is happening the last 2 versions of firefox (portable) some sites I will go too i will get this application/octet-stream with attachment to download.
ex: linkedin.ca or .com keep popping up.
I dont know what to do with this.
And some other sites it just freeze. I install a fresh portable firefox with NO add-0ns and still having same issues.

Since 43.01, Firefox fails to locate any application updates. I am on 64 bit (Win7). The firefox process running is the 64bit version

To replicate:
1. Download FirefoxPortable_43.0_English.paf.exe and unpack
2. Go to Help>About>Check for updates, it will detect an update to 43.01 (and if you go ahead it will work)

3. Download FirefoxPortable_43.0.1_English.paf (or use the updated version from above) and unpack
4. Go to Help>About>Check for updates - it will find no updates
(but there IS a 43.02, we know this for certain)

How to use proxy when opening portable firefox?

for example..

I will open the portable firefox and when it will open the portable firefox it will ask for authentication for the proxies username and password.

this maybe possible if i will set it everytime it will open the homepage of a certain website example abc.com as the homepage and it will request or requires a proxy username and password before it will work.

Windows 8.1
Firefox 43

It seems that since the update to Firefox 43, the google voice and video plugin (for hangouts calls for instance) doesn't load in Firefox Portable even though it loads just fine in the local installation of Firefox. Even after reinstalling the plugin multiple times, the results are the same.

Are there some changes that we need to load this plugin now?

Basically a FireFox portable installation on the C: drive, latest updates. Running debugger cannot set breakpoints. It breaks at the timer when any breakpoint is set. There have been times when I beat it to a breakpoint but have not identified how I did it. Any changes and reload of the page/script and we are back to square one anyway.
