Firefox Portable

Netflix on 51.1.0

Submitted by kbeck on December 27, 2016 - 10:52pm

Sorry if this is old hat to some people, but it's new to me and I couldn't find a way to search the forum by keyword...

FF Portable 51.1.10 won't play Netflix (W7 Pro, W10 Pro) for me, in fact earlier versions used to, but it stopped about a year ago. I read about the FF open code and DRM issue, so I tried FF (also 51.1.0) from Mozilla. It plays Netflix just fine!

Any idea why FF Portable won't? Thanks,

Kevin

platform wants to update my esr 45 portable to 50 (not esr)!!

Submitted by patrickdrd on December 8, 2016 - 5:18pm

hello,

today I took a backup of my firefox 50.0.2 installation, since I decided to try the esr 45.5.1 version,
why I installed in the original folder which firefox 50.0.2 was, using the appropriate paf file,
then I opened the platform to check if everything was ok and to my surprise saw that
it wanted to update my esr installation to 50.0.2!
appinfo.ini file is correctly indicating that this folder is containing an esr version,
but the platform doesn't recognize it and wants to install the latest release,

any suggestions/workaround?

Stop extension updates in Firefox Portable

Submitted by kermik on November 10, 2016 - 4:01am

I cannot find this in the Mozilla forums. My problem is that I use an extension that in the recent versions do not work the way I want it to, whereas not so recent versions work just fine. But of course Firefox want to update the extension - so how do I turn this off for this extension?
And yes, I've taken this up with the extension creator(s) but there they blame Firefox.
Windows 7, Firefox Portable 49.0.2

Firefox 49

Hi everybody,

I'm running into a weird problem with the latest version of Firefox portable. In version 49.0.x, the program stops responding and is never loading.
When I start it, I can see in my task bar (yes, Windows system) 2 windows for Firefox: 1 for the program itself (where the home page stays blank indefinitely - at least 5 minutes, after that, I kill it) and 1 I can't open.
I've already tried several ways to install it without success.
And as I don't see topic about this issue in the forum, I suppose it has something to do with my own installation.

Firefox Portable update

Submitted by Cesare55 on November 8, 2016 - 2:07am

I run Xp sp3 with FFP 47.0.1 and it ask me to update to FF 47.0.2. I tryed to find FFP 47.0.2 version on Portable Apps WEB page (Sourceforge), but I've found FFP 49.0.2. If I use Update Software Window (Show Other Update Info) it redirect to mozilla FF WEB page, where FF 47.0.2 seems to be available since November 01, 2016. Could someone let me know how to proceed? Many thanks in advance.
