How to Disable Portable App message at Portable Firefox startup

Submitted by NGambit on November 5, 2012 - 12:39pm

Hello!
I'm using portable Firefox to port our application to clients using a usb drive. However, whenever the browser is launched there is a popup message (only for a couple seconds) with Mozilla Firefox logo and portable edition logo side by side, and portable apps url at the bottom.

Is there a way I could disable this message at startup so that the clients won't see it?

Tmp files inside "\FirefoxPortable" folder

Submitted by farat_as on November 4, 2012 - 5:51am

Hi,

I am using 90% Chrome as browser. I very often use Firefox.

Firefox creates .tmp files inside its own root folder: "D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable" directory. The number of these .tmp files are multipying every time I saw them.

I try to remove them but they are re-creating themselves automatically.
I try to remove - install FirefoxPortable but it did not solve the problem.

I had the problem since 2 month, but I forgot to write here on the forums.

I make always the updates of PortableApps platform.

Firefox plugins

Submitted by Hansj on November 3, 2012 - 10:07am

FF portable is setup so it doesn't load plugins from harddisk. And in the portable drive folder for plugins are these: flashplayer.xpt, nppdf32.dll(10.1.4.38), NPSWF32.dll(11.5.500.85), NPSWF64.dll(11.5.500.85)

And it work on most web videos, fx this one works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRBc1t06paw&feature=relmfu

But then there are often also some that just appear as a black box, fx. this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri8rju7sZLI

And it doesn't even report "Missing plugin", it's just black. But if same URL is opened with IE installed on harddisk it does work.

How to allow multiple instances with 2nd profile?

Submitted by ShalaMala on October 30, 2012 - 12:15pm

Putting the FirefoxPortable.ini in FirefoxPortable folder and setting AllowMultipleInstances=true allows me to start multiple instances of FirefoxPortable.
But when I want to start FirefoxPortable2ndProfile while FirefoxPortable is already running it wouldn't start, saying that another instance is already running. How can I enable FirefoxPortable2ndProfile to allow multiple instances? I tried putting the FirefoxPortable.ini in the FirefoxPortable2ndProfile folder and setting AllowMultipleInstances=true like in my previous case, but it doesn't work!

Some images not displaying...

Submitted by pausername on October 15, 2012 - 8:22pm

Noticing a very strange behavior with FirefoxPortable_16.0.1_English. Some random images are simply not displaying. For example, the little youtube logo in the upper left corner of youtube.com. Its just not there. Other sites are missing random images too, while others display just fine. The sites look great in Chrome, and I have tried reinstalling a fresh copy of ff portable to make sure all the settings are default, still have the missing images.

Any idea what this could be?

Firefox Portable 16/B17 woes

Submitted by NathanJ79 on October 14, 2012 - 1:30am

Firefox 16.01 Portable, tabs cannot close. I can close the window of course. The X on the tab doesn't work. Right clicking and choosing Close Tab doesn't work. Right clicking another tab and choosing Close Other Tabs doesn't work.

Firefox 17 Beta Portable, JavaScript errors out the wazoo. Mostly on Facebook. YouTube as well.

Firefox 16.01 doesn't have the tab issue at home, and I generally use the same extensions on both home and portable. Portable doesn't have the Reddit extension and a couple home-specific extensions. Tab Mix Plus is on both but again, tabs close on installed 16.01.

Firefox and pen drive

Submitted by helphope on October 13, 2012 - 2:59am

Hi

It happens that since Firefox 13.00 I cannot use Firefox anymore on my pen drive.
I download it on a computer, make it work; then I copy all the directory on open drive and move it on another computer, but at this stage it doesn't work.

Any help?

thanks
