How to move profile FROM Firefox PORTABLE TO regular Firefox

Submitted by Bryllars on December 10, 2012 - 5:20pm

No one seems to have thought of this problem.
Firefox (regular) can import profile from other browsers
but NOT from Firefox PORTABLE.
And if you paste the portable file folder contents
into the Firefox regular profile folder
it just freezes up.

HOW CAN ONE MIGRATE FROM PORTABLE to REGULAR ????

Firefox Portable doesn't backup/restore the Crash Reporter keys. This is the preference under Advanced -> General -> "Submit Crash Reports".

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start Firefox Portable
  2. Go to Options
  3. Hit the Advanced tab, then General
  4. Disable Submit Crash Reports
  5. Close Firefox Portable
  6. Observe that a registry value has been created without cleanup. HKCU\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reporter\SubmitCrashReports

Firefox 17.0

Submitted by AthurLL on November 28, 2012 - 7:23am

There seems to be a problem with the latest version of FF 17.0 in that you can edit your cookie settings and exceptions and that the profile database for such settings isnt retaining the information. Apparently it throws it out as a bug and ignores the error so nothing is seen just the entry is deleted.

I have noticed this occuring when logging into several forums and it accepts and logs me in then reloads the page but Iam logged out. I have altered several settings within FF and it still occurs.

Can't compile FF Portable Source Code

Submitted by digitalcre8 on November 24, 2012 - 4:44pm

I'm learning portable apps coding so I decided to try something basic: I installed FF Portable and deleted the FireFoxPortable.exe to see if I could use the source code to recreate it. I have the PortableLauncher Generator and NSIS Unicode installed, but when I use the Launcher Generator to to recreate a working exe file, opening FireFoxPortable.exe shows an error app/appinfo/launcher/FireFoxPortable.ini is missing. That's odd, because FF Portable doesn't install that folder or file.

What am I missing here?

Downgrade due to addon-issues - howto?

Submitted by Mister Smith on November 22, 2012 - 12:54am

Due to many problems with my favorite addons, I've decided to downgrade to a previous FireFox version. Please could anyone be so kind to give me a link, where I can dowload the PortableApp FireFox v16.0.2 (am I right, that this one is the latest v16 Release?).

Looking into the download-section, I've only found elder versions. Further I wanna know, if there could occure any problems with my profile when downgrading to a previous major release?

Many thanks in advance
