Firefox Portable

Hi,

It seems the FF portable setup does not add "FIREFOX.EXE" key to win. registry? The key is expected to be here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\FIREFOX.EXE
with its "Default" string value pointing to FF path (including exe e.g. C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\firefox.exe) and "Path" string, pointing to FF app directory (e.g. C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox).

Some apps use this key for detection of FF installation. Thanks.

I have built an emergency recovery boot disk using MAKE PE3 - 48 and P Start to enable the use of portable programs after booting into the recovery environment. I have successfully used Firefox Portable up to and including version 28.

All Portable versions since then up to the latest Version 35 will not start. All display the error that they cannot load XPCOM.

These same Firefox portable versions will, however, start in the normal Windows 7 Ultimate environment on all of my computers, however, in the MAKE PE 3 environment, on the same device, they will not.

Hi. I would like to set Firefox Portable as my default browser. I've found a few different references to methods for ding this, but they are either no longer available or they simply don't work.

I've also looked in at the FAQ here and searched the forum. Unless I'm overlooking something, the info available is how to set Firefox as the default but not FirefoxPortable.

Can this be done?

I'm running both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 and would like to set things up for both.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Reinstalled Ffox portable 35 form scratch, because it wasn't working properly. Now everything else works but I can't log in to my Amazon account. Says Cookies need to be enabled. But cookies are enabled. Works OK in Chrome, so not an Amazon problem. Running Windows 8. I've tried clearing cookies, clearing cache, clearing history but still can't log in.

We want to distribute out product with Portable Mozilla bundled into it. Our goal is to install portable Firefox without installer. We do not want to change any sources (Firefox or portableapps) We just want to take folder with installed portable Firefox, zip it and unzip during our installation. So we have several questions. Can we perform such technique to integrate portable Firefox with our product? What about license agreement? Which restrictions will we have?

I've had some problems on a couple of my systems running Portable FF, in which profiles apparently got corrupted. The major symptoms included incomplete display of page elements on certain web pages, limited or selective functioning of Javascript (worked on some websites, though not on others), inability to sign in to webmail-based email accounts. Trying to troubleshoot this proved tedious and not very productive. As a temporary workaround, I used this

I posted the following message about an apparent bug also in the "Mozillazine Forum" ( http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2910125 ); but I have yet to find a solution:

To Reproduce
+ Install 38 Alpha x86 from here https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/test
+ open browser
+ set Options > General > When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time
+ load at least one website
+ restart browser

Results
Tabs from the previous session are appear as empty "New Tabs".

Is it possible to start the second firefox profile along with the main profile? I set AllowMultipleInstances for main and second profile to true, but when i start firefox and then try to start the second profile it still shows that another instances of firefox is running.

I have created a backup of my Firefox browser, using MozBackup 1.5.1. Previously, I have used this several times and transferred the copied browser to every new laptop and desktop I own - Without a single problem.

Some years ago I used MozBackup to copy by browser to my portable application of Firefox. I wish I could remember exactly how I did as I am struggling now. The problem I am encountering is, which destination folder do I choose in the portable version of Firefox to install the backup?

So far I have selected: Firefox portable > App > Default Data > Profile.
