turn off language packs when upgrading

Submitted by gendalf on April 28, 2015 - 9:23am

I've had a problem - when i upgraded ff portable it crashed without launching. I found out that the problem was caused by the language pack, installed by me in previous version of ff, it is in language section of about:addons.

So the suggestion is - add to your portable unpacker/installer automatic turning off language pack(s), if there're any installed by user.

Native HTML5 Notifications don't seem to work?

Submitted by RedKage on April 26, 2015 - 5:26am

Hi there,

I have made various tests with the GNotifier addon.
- When I use an installed version of Firefox -> the notifications are native.
On Win10 TP it will add a new entry in the "New notifications" panel with "E7CF176E110C211B" as the app name.
- When I use the PortableApps version, and the same profile -> it will show the notification using the built-in popup.

Also, I seem to have the same exact issue with Thunderbird by the way.

question about data privacy

We need to include (and modify) a browser on a USB that leaves as little trace as possible of its existence. I know there are things that we can't do anything about (like shellbags and prefetch-cache entries) that show something was run, but we're mostly concerned with browser data. The TOR browser bundle claims to have patched a few other things that aren't cache-related (I think). The quote is:

FF slower after version 31

Submitted by badcom on April 12, 2015 - 8:14am

Hello,

I've noticed the FF portable has been slower after version 31. In one of a client's website (I can't post it here) I noticed via the Network tab in the Webdeveloper tool that it always loads a bunch of files (js and css) whereas in the normal FF version and FF portable 31 it only loads 2 (no js or css). Wondering if you have changed any cache settings or anything else that could affect its performance?

Thanks,
Vilmondes
