Setting FirefoxPortable as default browser

Submitted by GeekGirlInFurs on February 11, 2015 - 8:08pm

Hi. I would like to set Firefox Portable as my default browser. I've found a few different references to methods for ding this, but they are either no longer available or they simply don't work.

I've also looked in at the FAQ here and searched the forum. Unless I'm overlooking something, the info available is how to set Firefox as the default but not FirefoxPortable.

Can this be done?

I'm running both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 and would like to set things up for both.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Amazon login says I need to enable cookies, but they are enabled

Reinstalled Ffox portable 35 form scratch, because it wasn't working properly. Now everything else works but I can't log in to my Amazon account. Says Cookies need to be enabled. But cookies are enabled. Works OK in Chrome, so not an Amazon problem. Running Windows 8. I've tried clearing cookies, clearing cache, clearing history but still can't log in.

Distribute Firefox Portable without installer

Submitted by vovair on February 11, 2015 - 6:45am

We want to distribute out product with Portable Mozilla bundled into it. Our goal is to install portable Firefox without installer. We do not want to change any sources (Firefox or portableapps) We just want to take folder with installed portable Firefox, zip it and unzip during our installation. So we have several questions. Can we perform such technique to integrate portable Firefox with our product? What about license agreement? Which restrictions will we have?

Profile Management Revisited

Submitted by GDVX_111 on February 9, 2015 - 3:39pm

I've had some problems on a couple of my systems running Portable FF, in which profiles apparently got corrupted. The major symptoms included incomplete display of page elements on certain web pages, limited or selective functioning of Javascript (worked on some websites, though not on others), inability to sign in to webmail-based email accounts. Trying to troubleshoot this proved tedious and not very productive. As a temporary workaround, I used this

Mozbackup to Firefox Portable

Submitted by sniffy on January 15, 2015 - 9:27am

I have created a backup of my Firefox browser, using MozBackup 1.5.1. Previously, I have used this several times and transferred the copied browser to every new laptop and desktop I own - Without a single problem.

Some years ago I used MozBackup to copy by browser to my portable application of Firefox. I wish I could remember exactly how I did as I am struggling now. The problem I am encountering is, which destination folder do I choose in the portable version of Firefox to install the backup?

So far I have selected: Firefox portable > App > Default Data > Profile.
