[Fixed] Addons Icons Menu Dissapear when Moving Firefox to New Location

Submitted by gholygo on May 10, 2019 - 1:34am

When I move the portable firefox directory to a new location, after restarting Firefox, the addons icons menu bar has gone.
I can still access the addons through the Tools>Extensions menu and see that they are still installed. However, I cannot access the options for them that way.

Is there a file where the location of extensions/addon icons or shortcuts is stored that is maybe not getting rewritten when I transfer the portable firefox directory to another location or usb drive?

Many thanks.

Warning: 66.0.4 Resets Automatically Install Updates Setting

Submitted by Abraxian on May 6, 2019 - 10:14am

I was just stepping through my Options settings after the install of Firefox Portable 66.0.4 and noticed that 66.0.4 had in the 'General' settings enabled the setting "Automatically install updates (recommended)". I never ever allow Firefox Portable to do that, I only ever use the setting "Check for updates but let you choose to install them". So 66.0.4 must have reset that setting to the Mozilla default on install.

Same thing happened in my fully installed Firefox 66.0.4.

Latest FF Doesn't Like Gmail

Since no one else has mentioned it that I have found, it may somehow just be me, but after the latest update (file version 2.1.4.0, 66.0.3), PP Firefox will not load Gmail, as it did before the update. It just goes to a blank, white screen.

Win 10 64-bit
Same USB, E:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable
Same computer

Haven't tried it on different machine yet. I will update if it is machine-specific.

Update: It is not machine-specific. It is showing a white blank screen for Gmail on all machines.

Possible to use FF portable from Google Drive?

Submitted by PortableMee on March 11, 2019 - 6:20am

Hello,
Is it possible to use FF portable plus 2nd profiles from Google Drive? Or will that leave a footprint?
Thank you
(Sorry to mod for double posting, but I thought it was a different topic)
P.S. I've installed the folder on Drive, but it looks like it's not possible to open the .exe file.
