Firefox Portable

".url" files

Submitted by tito76 on August 1, 2013 - 1:23pm

I've many ".url" files on my HDD, and noticed that:
by exetute them, Firefox opens without load my profile.
BTW, if Firefox is already opened, the url loads as usual on new tab.

I think ".URL" are assigned to
"C:\Program files\Mozilla Firefox\App\Firefox\firefox.exe"
instead of
"C:\Program files\Mozilla Firefox\FirefoxPortable.exe"
, but on my XP I can't see a "Open with" option to redirect them.

Disappearing extensions

Firefox 23 Portable, currently beta 7.

Hi, I've discovered a curious issue that occurs if I delete the contents of my FF portable directory and then replace with a spare copy which I previously copied out.

This is something that I do so I can check out various extensions and if I don't like them or they don't work or whatever, then I have a backed up copy of FF portable to restore, rather than uninstalling extensions which I'd rather not do.

Unable to update/install FF 22

Submitted by JKEngineer on July 16, 2013 - 11:23am

I had an older FF Portable installed, but I think it got partially wiped when I had update problems a while ago. I am still having problems.

I am using PA on a local hard drive, Win XP SP3. Partway through the installation I get dialogs about inability to write to various .dll files in the directory:
D:\download\Software\PortableApps-installedapps\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox

I find that directory to be ReadOnly and the properties show 0 files and 0 folders. I cannot change the ReadOnly status from the Properties box.
