Firefox Portable

Hey again

I use Firefox Portable 55.0.2 on Windows 10.

I run a lot of windows of Firefox all day long on multiple computers, and going into settings and marking it to "Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)" does the trick and my browsers remain on the version I need them to be.

I use Firefox Portable 55.0.2 on Windows 10. I just spent about 2 hours looking for a way to change the taskbar icon. I want to set a custom taskbar icon for every instance of Firefox Portable that I run.

I tend to run about 5 Firefoxes at the same time, and it becomes hard to know which one is which. So I would like to set a custom taskbar icon for each, make the taskbar icon a simple number, and that will be that.

So my taskbar will look like this:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Instead of like this:

FF | FF | FF | FF | FF

Looking for Firefox 68.1.1 or ESR 68.1.0 (not FF v69+).

Hello to all, launching
"FirefoxPortable.exe www.google.com"
or
"FirefoxPortable.exe -url www.google.com"
used to work well, but for the last version of FF it started to output a message:
"Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition."

Using Windows 10. How do I set Firefox Portable as my default browser.

Windows settings > Default Apps > Web Browser shows a list of browsers to choose from. Firefox isn't on the list.

Hi there.

I was wondering how do you set the default directory where files are saved, to the default "Documents" folder on a standard PortableApps installation file structure.

In my case:

My installation of

Portable apps Start.exe is on "E:/"

Firefox Portable is on "E:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable"

Default documents folder on "E:\Documents"

Pretty much standard.

I use firefox only because I can't live without side tabs. But using an addon for side tabs does not hide the top tabs.

There are numerous examples of css to put inside the userchrome file, but none of them seems to work with the portable version.

Has anyone found a way to do this? Does the portable installer need to be modified to make this work?

Any thoughts welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

It's a pity.

Is it normal that Firefox doesn't load plugins when I click on .url files and also loads a separate website history and download history?
Is there a way to make so that firefox doesn't do that?
Sadly, I can not remove my plugins because they're really important.

Hi,
I just installed FF and configured everything (sync, bookmarks, plugins...) and everything works except two options:
- "Open links in new tabs instead of windows"
- "When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

First option is UN-checked but even so it works. I disabled that option but for some reason links keeps opening in new windows insted in new tabs.

Second option is UN-checked as well but browser just keeps switching me to new tab (window) when I open it.
