Firefox portable update problem

Submitted by ltappe on August 19, 2020 - 7:16am

If I use Firefox portable on mobile.de I see no pics. This I got on an update. Now I try to use the old Version. I have found an old copy
that I am using on C:\FirefoxPortable\. To get no Update message I have created a fiele policies.json and saved it in the folder
C:\FirefoxPortable\App\distribution
the contend is:
{
"policies": {
"AppAutoUpdate": false
}
}
This works, I do not get a Update message.

I run a dual boot system - Ubuntu and Win10. Most of my time is spent in Ubuntu so my skills for transferring FF profile data into portable FF are a bit rusty.

Today I made new FF portable app "installations" on the Win10 system. I copied active profiles from the Ubuntu system and pasted them into the Win10 FF portable apps folders.

Firefox Developer Edition - Setting a particular preference causes add-on installs to fail

Submitted by Kernel on July 19, 2020 - 5:37am

I'm using Firefox Developer Edition v79, and I've been getting plagued by a particular issue for a while, but only recently found a bug report that clued me into the cause - and it's specific to the portable version only.

Preface:

Firefox prohibits extensions from working on their own site (specifically, addons.mozilla.org). In order to allow extensions to work on this protected site, you have to do the following in about:config:

Change taskbar icon for Mozilla Firefox 78

Submitted by garama on July 8, 2020 - 6:18am

Hello,

I've downloaded and installed Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition, Version 78.0.1 for Windows, in English.

I've tried to change its taskbar icon following the steps described at https://portableapps.com/node/61043, but it doesn't seems to work for this version.

I've also tried a lot of different path, sizes, and format variants without any success:

Deleting all System files for Firefox portable installation?

Submitted by fefrie on July 7, 2020 - 1:29am

I've got the annoying instance where on every opening of the browser, there is always a 'notification' that updates are being installed.

It flashes for 5 or so seconds, then the browser opens as normal.

Copied the installation to a different drive to test, and it opened fine, with no 'update' on start.

So I'm assuming that there is some sort of residual file that needs to be deleted in some sort of hidden folder.

Where would I find such hidden folders?

Firefox portable in WinPE "Couldn't load XPCOM"

Hallo FF-Freunde,
auf meinem Desktop läuft FF 77.0 prächtig.
Nun will ich mittels AOMEI-PE Builder 2.0 mittels WindowsPE eine Sicherungs-ISO erstellen und dabei eigene Tools einbinden, u.a. eben FF portable.
Einige andere Tools konnte ich erfolgreich einbinden; die Integration von FFp funktioniert auch (auf der Basis von "FirefoxPortable_77.0_German.paf.exe").
Jedoch wenn ich dann den generierten USB-Stick oder eine CD benutze, funktioniert alles gut, auch meine anderen Tools, nicht aber FFp.

Norton reports PUA.Gamevance after installing FFP 77.0.1

Submitted by JoePublic on June 12, 2020 - 10:35pm

This involves Firefox Portable 77.0.1. I've used the portable version for a long time and never had any problems with it or any software from this website.

Norton AntiVirus reports the download safe. But after I install it on my local drive, and Norton runs a scan, it reports PUA.Gamevance in the registry (approximately 40 registry entries). That is amazing since the portable version doesn't write to the registry. Or does it?
