Firefox Portable

Default Settings like Default Browser Check

Submitted by markus14 on June 12, 2017 - 9:28am

Hi there,

fresh and new to this forum as well as Firefox Portable. We´re challenged to publish Firefox portable for our users. So the Folder with the files is saved on a network location with rw Access for the users.

The user starts the firefox.exe from App\Firefox\ how can we set defaults like "no Browser Check" and so on, or is it necessary to start the FirefoxPortable.exe from the root directory?

Tried to modify the pref.js but without success.

Everybody help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Issues with 53 ... Not keeping configuration?

Submitted by thempstead on May 18, 2017 - 5:26am

Having a couple of issues with v53.02rev2 ...

1. Lastpass plugin now prompts for the MFA token value every time the browsers started. This is even if the tick box to remember for 30days is clicked. This was working in the previous release from here.

2. After a couple of hours of usage it just loses connectivity and refuses to connect to anything any more. It has the box ticked to use an automatically provided proxy (corporate environment other browsers working fine) but it seems to forget this after a couple of hours. Restart and it works again.

XPCOM - One machine only

Hi all, I have Firefox Portable version 53.0.2 on my external harddrive which I use every working day. I have to switch between two computers each day. The odd thing is that one of my computers has just started giving me the 'Cannot read XPCOM' error. This machine has opened Firefox Portable everyday before without fail, and the update was a while ago. As far as I can see there is nothing different on my machine that would have stopped it from loading Firefox.

Hey,

I have some serious issues with FF, TB and several other Apps over PortableApps!

I own three different PC (Windows 10 64bit as User/AntiVirGear-N10, Windows 7 64bit as AntiVirGaming/AntiVirGamingT7 and Windows 7 64bit as User/AntiVirGear-N7) and all my data and apps are on a 1TB HDD without any errors (weekly SMART check, file defragmentation and chkdsk) and here is the point: It happens randomly!

Let me show you some scenarios and define N10 as A, T7 as B and N7 as C!
