Portable Firefox Problem After New Update

Submitted by realxj on May 15, 2019 - 1:14am

This problem have happen after the fiasco of Add-On in Firefox. I have install a new Portable Firefox ver. 66.0.4, after open it, it is automatically updated itself before i know it. After restarting the browser can't be open anymore if i don't click yes to temporarily copied to local hard drive on dialog box that appear saying "the browser appears to be running from a location that is read-only. Would you like to temporarily copy it to the local hard drive and run it from there?" If i click yes and open the browser, it seem the browser have broken. Bookmarks can't be saved and imported.

[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.
