Firefox Portable

Force Update

Submitted by Shmoe on October 23, 2017 - 10:19am

Hey guys,

We're currently using portable firefox on a deployment of about 800 or so machines. We were going to disable updating completely as it's removing the focus from the main window and hiding the update notification, causing our users to forcibly power down the machine in order to regain control.

I'd like to go a different route and set a task so that these machines install any available update (if any) at some point in the middle of the night, every night.

The portable delete profile of installed version every time!! It's normal ?

This is the situation...... i have installed Firefox 64bit on c:\programmi\ etc .etc........ our profile it's normally in %APPDATA%\Mozilla etc etc.

For sometime i have an idea to setup an addiction version of Firefox and a idea to add a portable configuration..... i have download the 6.0.1 and i have "extracted" on D:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable.

Apparently all it's work............. but there's a LITTLE trouble. Every time i run this portable setup i LOST everythings on the "installed" version..... because there's append ??

FirefoxPortableESR52.2.0 can't redirect message of console (window.dump) to a file

Submitted by fethi on October 13, 2017 - 9:16am

In the case of the launch of the portable Firefox (ESR 52.2.0) in command line mode,
it is impossible to redirect the native output of the browser console (Firefox.exe) from the launcher (FirefoxPortable.exe) by typing the following command line:
C:> E: /FirefoxPortableESR52.2.0/FirefoxPortable.exe 2&1> dump.txt

Which Firefox icon to sync with Sandboxie

I apologize if Portable Apps is not the right forum to ask this question, I'm sorta new at all this. I asked this in the official Firefox help forum but they said they're not affiliated with the portable version. I also asked this in the Sandboxie forum about a year ago and I was given an answer, but I'm just not sure it was the right one, because my profile eventually started to get all out of whack. I wish I could tell you what was happening, but it was a year ago and truthfully I don't remember.

[Closed] Firefox start always in 32-bit on 64-bit system

Submitted by testerr on September 19, 2017 - 2:21am

I have problem with launching 64-bit version of 55.0.3 on Win 10 x64.
When I launch fresh install of Firefox Portable then in Process Explorer there is 32-bit "Firefox Portable" launcher process and 64-bit "Firefox" processes.
But when I move my profile in to this installation then launcher always runs 32-bit version.
Why?
How to run 64-bit Firefox with existing profile?

(AlwaysUse32Bit is set to false)

Packages just with 32 and 64 bit files

Submitted by c-sanchez on September 8, 2017 - 8:50pm

Hi guys, thanks by make PortableApps, is really great.

Why was created an package with both 32 and 64 bit files instead two packages for 32 and 64 bit respectively?, I know is simpler to share, but I don't need 64bit files, just 32bit. If I delete 64bit folder, although all works, I have an alert first.

I need Firefox 52.3.0 ESR with just 32bit files, without alerts please haha.

Regards!
