Firefox Portable History and Cache

Submitted by eddieyost on March 14, 2014 - 12:33pm

I selected Firefox Portable so I could run it on my PC (Windows 7) in drive D (secondary hard drive) and avoid excessive writing to primary drive C (SSD). I'm trying to find where history and other data are stored so I can use CCleaner to occasionally securely overwrite it. I've searched the various Firefox files on drive D and have been unsuccessful in finding the specific file that stores this information. I know it is being stored because by clicking on the Firefox tab and selecting History, I can see the list of sites I visited today and yesterday.

hello,

INTRODUCTION :
firefox too long ( one of the three best web browser ) does not work anymore it is not tolerable . (3 bug is present , * does not start * runs for less than a minute then freeze * windowed mode without failure)

on (more than 3 ) virtual machine it works very well

I 'm only talking about windows 7 integrale x64 ! fully updated via windows update!

the problem is recurring since 6 ( a bit more ) last firefox (currently tested with 27.0.1 )

this is not normal! firefox does not work because paleMoon works!

If Firefox Nightly Portable crashes, then when it restarts, it loads the non-portable Firefox profile instead of it's own

I use Firefox 27.0.1 stable (non-portable) as my everyday browser in windows 8.1 x64.

I have also installed
FirefoxPortableNightly_30.0_Alpha_1_Pre_English_online.paf

All works ok, but, if Nightly Portable crashes
and you press "Restart Firefox" in the Mozilla Crash Reporter window
(the crash report is submitted before it restarts)
then, when it restarts, it loads the profile of my Firefox 27, instead of the Nightly Portable one!

Please fix this issue.

Improve installer's internal checks or add "Continue anyway" button

Currently, it's impossible to install FirefoxPortable while an instance of FirefoxPortable is already running, due to this alert:
---------------------------
Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition | PortableApps.com Installer
---------------------------
Please close all instances of Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition and then click OK. The portable app can not be upgraded while it is running.

ОК Cancel

Firefox Portable reads the registry and uses settings from local install of Firefox.

Is there any way to prevent FirefoxPoratable from reading the registry? I have tried the ini file and all its settings with no luck. I have also tried profiles without success. I need to run Firefox with an old version of Java for internal use and leave the local copy set to the latest version. No matter how I configure either the settings from one change the other. And the registry is always read and the plugins registered there are used by both and across all profiles.
