Firefox Portable

Which Firefox portable for use on PC and/or thumb drive ?

Submitted by Russell English on March 19, 2013 - 10:58pm

I have trawled thru the PortApps forum to find the down load of Firefox portable -- without success.

One down load was offering an "installer". Do I need an installer?
Can I move my current bookmarks to the portable version?

I want to use FFox portable on my laptop.
(I have major probs with installed FF since Jan and getting no solutions on the FF forums)

Any help appreciated.

Firefox, TBird and high CPU usage under Linux

Submitted by darkstar on March 16, 2013 - 8:33pm

I will post this here, although it appears to also apply to Thunderbird as well. When running either PortableApps Firefox, and/or Thunderbird on my openSuSE 12.2 Linux machines, I am seeing a very high CPU usage as reported by TOP. Memory seems fine, swap seems fine, and I don't see this issue when running either Firefox or Thunderbird native. I might suspect this is a Wine issue but I do not see other PortableApps using high amounts of the CPU... Thoughts? I see lots of similar problems being reported throughout the internet, but no common thread or solution...

How to restrict Firefox folder access ?

Submitted by Finiderire on March 1, 2013 - 11:03am

Hello,

I am an advanced user (IT pro). My question is simple : I have just downloaded FirefoxPortable v19. I do not want it to access other places than its installation folder in any way. Using Windows 8 Pro x64.

How can I reach this goal ? Thank you for your help and have a nice W.E.

The underlying issue : I also run Waterfox portable v16 and I've encountered incidents when using both alternatively as if they share some files that they should not.

Why external links are opening in a new FF profile when FF isn't open?

Submitted by staicovici on February 26, 2013 - 7:46am

Hello,

First let me thank you for your work. PortableApps is a must in Windows world.

I have a small problem.
I have Portable Firefox 19 with few extensions and some customizations on it.

If FF is already open and try to open an external url from Yahoo!Messenger then is opening in the correct FF. My FF with extensions and customizations.

If FF is not open and try to open the same external url (is not important if is from Y!M or Thunderbird or other app) then is opening in a new FF.
A brand new FF with no extensions, customizations or bookmarks.
