Few bugs with new version FirefoxPortable.exe

Submitted by versusVerz on June 3, 2021 - 6:12pm

Hello to all!
I used many years version 2.0.6.0 of executable file FirefoxPortable.exe and all was good, but i have a problem with extensions(plugins), every time when i prepared my build with all extensions and copying in another place i need again INSTALLING ALL EXTENSIONS.
This thing very boring for me and i need to be updated for the new build of the FirefoxPortable.exe 2.3.0.0 and problem with extensions solved.
I was been very Happy Smile

another instance of firefox is already running

Submitted by novw on May 10, 2021 - 7:08am

Another update. another F-up. Every time I try to open a (web-)link from an outside program (mail, excel, ...) I get a popup telling me "another instance of firefox is already running. Please close other instances of firefox before launching mozilla firefox, portable edition". If I completely ignore the popup (=leave it open), en click the SAME link a second time, it is opened in firefox portable. But that requester remains open till I click it . So: opening a weblink is now a "please click three times, because FF does not like users" thing? Any solution ideas?

FirefoxPortable on Windows 10?

I am using FirefoxPortable v88. This works perfectly under Windows 7 but when the same flash drive is started using Windows 10 64-bit I receive the following message:

"You've launched an older version of Firefox
Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox.

Firefox portable has problems with some authority's certificate

For example https://sede.mjusticia.gob.es/es/
That's the Spanish Government's Ministry of Justice website. While trying to load the browser finds a certificate but it spits SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER and the web won't go HTTPS.

I guess this won't be the only official website that has this problem.

Hello, I used to have FF portable on my usb drive (bitlocker enabled) running on the Win10pro company laptop (Lenovo T14).
Today I notice that some settings are working no more, disappeared or greyed out and displaying "managed by your organization". For example, I lost the Mozilla account login for the sync.
The policy values are the following.
I supposed that being a portable app, the resident OS would not touch it, is there a way to avoid such interference by the company?
