Request: Changes to code concerning multiple Firefox instances
I just have two suggestions for the PortableApps Launcher for Firefox, both of which concern the AllowMultipleInstances parameter in FirefoxPortable.ini.

I just have two suggestions for the PortableApps Launcher for Firefox, both of which concern the AllowMultipleInstances parameter in FirefoxPortable.ini.
I clicked Help=>About to check which version I have and it started updating itself!
Until now it always had a message that this feature was disabled.
What will happen once I restart Firefox? Will the portable version still work fine?
Hello,
Is it possible to use FF portable plus 2nd profiles from Google Drive? Or will that leave a footprint?
Thank you
(Sorry to mod for double posting, but I thought it was a different topic)
P.S. I've installed the folder on Drive, but it looks like it's not possible to open the .exe file.

Hi,
First, thanks for this gem "PortableApps".
I would like to report a possible Bug at Firefox Nightly Portable 64-bits latest version, in Windows 10 latest version: Add-ons settings and content are not portable.
Installed add-ons may appear at Nightly' "about:addons" page, but add-ons are inaccessible, no settings, no contents.
Even inaccessible at "about:addons", sometimes installed add-ons work. But considering that they are inaccessible and add-ons also don't appear at NavBar, TabBar, Menus etc, it is impossible to use them.
Hi all,
Sorry if this has already been asked, I couldn't find it.
I need several social accounts to have the localized versions, and I therefore use proxies.
Would it be possible to have several installs of Firefox on a usb stick, each with the different proxy settings?
Thanks in advance for your advice
Hello,
Windows 10, to officially protect users' privacy, now need to allow one by one apps, like firefox, to access to my webcam. But only installed programs are listed and not portable one. An idea how to allow firefox portable to have access to my webcam ?
Hello.
I am using Firefox Portable 65.0.1 on Windows 10 Pro.
Since Firefox 64, notifications coming from it can use the Action Center on Windows 10.
On the about:config page "alerts.useSystemBackend" can be set to "true" so Firefox will use the Action Center to show notifications.
On Firefox Portable however, it does not work, only on installed versions.
Anyone knows a way to make use of the Action Center on Portable versions?
Thank you.
I noticed whenever I upgrade my Firefox I have to set it back to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" is this normal that I have to do this every time I upgrade or I'm not upgrading correctly?
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the DNS settings in Firefox. In theory it should take windows DNS settings, but I've found that it's not that simple.
I have an own DNS server with Blacklist ability, but after blacklisting certain domains FF still has an access to that pages. Chrome/IE/mobile browsers are without that access. Even using the nslookup I have blocked access, but FF works
