Firefox Portable

Profiles Portable <> Local

Submitted by wquatan on August 5, 2011 - 2:00pm

In an older version (out of PortableApps.com_Suite_Setup_1.5.2_en.exe) of Firefox Portable) I was used to copy from my desktop Firefox the profiles.ini, Profiles\v9must0u.default\prefs.js and Profiles\v9must0u.default\sessionstore.js

However, in the new version (installed via PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_2.0_Pre-Release_2.1.exe) this doesn't work anymore.

Any ideas how I could proceed to have that compatibility back?

I used the same wow for Thunderbird, but haven't looked into it yet.

Firefox Sync doesn't work more than once

Submitted by svehex on August 3, 2011 - 3:43am

When I initially set up Sync, it works the first time, but them every time it automatically syncs, I get an error.

"Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."

And when I check the settings, my sync key has been changed.

I've cleared the settings and re-synced many times, but the same thing happens. Even when I keep the files on the local hard drive.

External links opening in new window

Submitted by sn1975 on July 27, 2011 - 3:23pm

Hi all,

I am using Firefox Portable 5 and for the past couple of days external links are opening in a new window, rather than a new tab.

As far as I know I haven't changed anything.

The settings in Tools, Options, Tabs specify external link to open in new tab, as does the Tab Mix Plus extension.

I have tried Firefox in Safe Mode with all extensions disabled and also a clean profile that I have using the 2nd Profile app.

With the extensions disabled on my main profile the problem still occurs.

I have also reset all Tab Mix Plus settings to defaults.

Need to have multiple Firefox profiles open at once

Submitted by gregnorris on July 19, 2011 - 10:59pm

This encompasses two problems: One FF portable doesn't have multiple profile support. Two: I can't have FF portable open and FF regular. I know I can have multiple FF's open at once with regular Firefox by forcing the profile but if I'm using a friends computer and they have their own Firefox open and I want to open my Firefox on there's I have to close their FF in order to open mine.

PS. My own computer is now broken so I ported all my profile data for Firefox and Thunderbird to an SD installation thus I really need to have my Firefox on others computers now.
