Firefox Portable

MP3 & Podcast Downloads

Submitted by Maineguy01 on December 22, 2013 - 1:46pm

Since updating Firefox Portable I can no longer download MP3 files. When I go to a podcast page and click the link to download it opens a new page and plays the file within Firefox using VLC. There is no way to right click on the link to download the file nor do anything other than play it within Firefox

I had this same problem with the non-portable version and according to Mozilla Support found out it has something to do with how Firefox 26 handles Windows XP which is my operating system. The instructions to fix the issue said to go to about:config and change the settings to false for:

[Solved] FF 25.0.1 Performance Is Very Bad - Regress To FF 24.0

I initially upgraded my primary FF Portable install. I noticed the performance was very bad when opening web sites, moving between pages of web sites, etc. I was astounded to see the same performance when accessing a local web server that is 1 Layer 2 switch hop away, inside my home, does not serve anyone else, and has an average CPU utilization of 0%.

Hi,

Completely uninstalled the non-portable Firefox 23 using RevoPro so I am sure that no remnants remain. I also did a full Registry scan.

I installed FirefoxPortable 24-ESR (yes, I KNOW how ESR works) and installed NoScript etc addons and all is working fine.

I set the Options/ Advanced/ General "Always check to see if ... default" to checked.

But, when I click on a link in any other program that used to launch firefox it now launches a bare version of Firefox without NoScript and other addons. They are not even listed in the "Add-ons" menu option.

strange add-on after fresh install

Hello,

I've just downloaded Firefox Portable 25 and installed it in a fresh empty folder. I was surprised to find out a disabled extension named SmartPrintButton 1.0 by Liu Zhen. Given home page of this developer is http://imaging.hpl.hp.com/people/default.html (not working)

There is not Remove option for this add-on.

Will appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Javascript (I think) content not working

Submitted by timtranslates on November 15, 2013 - 10:36am

Every so often certain pages or buttons will stop working properly. These include Google Maps (typing a location in the box and pressing enter does nothing, and there's no autosuggest either, and it's impossible to drag the map to move around) and Twitter (the buttons, such as the "New Tweet" button stop working). Buttons on various other sites fail to work too.

The solution is simple: I restart Firefox. But then it comes back, perhaps 10 minutes later, perhaps 20 minutes, perhaps 2 hours.

Any idea what could be causing this and how to solve it?
