Firefox Portable

No longer necessary to overwrite installation directory for upgrading? Help > About Firefox > Check for updates... also works !?

Submitted by cervo on May 15, 2013 - 10:29am

Hello,

I've got a little confused since it seems no longer necessary to overwrite the installation directory for upgrading Firefox Portable.
As a matter of fact, the "normal way" to update it (Help > About Firefox > Check for updates) effectively leads to an updated version after a relaunch of FF. Now my question : is it really equivalent, or are there any files that are replaced in the user profile or at another place (or maybe some that won't be updated at all) ?

Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards. Cervo

Found a bug, not sure if anyone encountered it already. But while I was trying to figure it out, I tried searching for this error and couldn't get any help. I eventually figured it out on my own.

Here is the error:
Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

Here is my environment, not all of it matters, but I will just put it anyway.

Streaming problem

Submitted by reem_151 on April 24, 2013 - 5:46am

I stream various radio stations while I surf around using Firefox. Since an upgrade to 20.0.1 I notice that the stations drop out every now and then for a few seconds, sometimes I have to refresh the tab that the station is on. The problem I have now is that I have been using this interactive flash based tutorial and every time I click any button, the streaming radio stops and I have to refresh the page. Is there a setting that may change this or is it a bug that needs to be fixed? If so, where do I report a bug?
Many thanks.

Firefox SYNC

Is it ok to use Firefox SYNC in Firefox Portable; if so, what can I sync?

I know the Firefox sync feature is present on Firefox Portable but I'm afraid that synchronizing certain features, like add-on, will break Firefox Portable.

Can anybody shed some light on Firefox SYNC on Firefox Portable?

Thanks

Portable Flash?

I've heard that copying NPSWF32.dll to the plugins folder adds flash for firefox. But to me thats not the case. I tried that and when i access a page with flash content firefox freezes and responds significantly slow, and it forces me to terminate its process from task manager.
