Install Shockwave Plugin for Mozilla Firefox Portable

Submitted by Nimr0d on February 20, 2014 - 3:19pm

Hello everyone,

I have some Problems installing the Shockwave Plugin for Mozilla Firefox Portable on my pendrive.

I have read the instructions on your Page:

https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#plugins

But the Problem is that the Shockwave installation routine doesnt let me direct the installation. It just installs Shockwave to the harddrive so i cant direct it to the pendrive.

No update found

I have problems with updating at least one PortableApp, i.e. Firefox. Firefox 26 is the current version, but my Portable Firefox is still in version 24 and the PortableApps Suite (11.2) doesn't find an update. Nevertheless other apps are updated.
Firefox is listed in the PortableApps menu, but not in "Help->About->Applications". Therefore is think it is not correct registered in the suite, perhaps because I moved an older single-installation (without suite) into the later installed suite-folder PortableApps\PortableApps.
How can I register it, so that updates will be found in installed.

[Closed] Firefox does not work in wine past version 23.

I have been running firefox portable on Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS \n \l and past version 23 (this includes esr 24 version) it does not work with wine. I have used both the system wine (i believe 1.4) and play on linux versions (1.5 - 1.7.11). Firefox launches either into an immediate crash or sometimes you get to click on it and then it crashes. Because firefox 23 and earlier seem to work fine but none after that I assume it is a firefox issue rather than wine. Because of the nature of portable apps it effects this windows version more than most.

Need to find out how to re-enable crash reporting, since FF portable crashing

Submitted by plek on February 1, 2014 - 6:38am

I understand crash reporting was disabled in April, because it could not be made properly portable. But, as one of the users who uses portable apps flat on a PC, I'd like to be able to re-enable the crash reporting. The directories are still being created/updated with today's date, but there's no crash report in them. I've looked around, but other than the note that crash reporting is disabled by default now, there's no indication on how to re-enable it (and the .ini has enabled=1).

Would it be possible to get some documentation on how to re-enable the crash reporting?
