Firefox Portable

Mozilla added toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart to Firefox 61.0.2, does it break the app portability (either standalone or platform) if we set toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart to true?

First time poster, but long-time user of portable apps!

I'm having a strange problem with Firefox. It seems to function correctly on most PCs but there's one that consistently gives me a "profile missing" error message. I click OK and then FF seems to function okay, although it periodically throws up the error.

I've error checked the drive, and tested in different USB ports, but the behaviour persists ... but only on that particular PC.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the anomaly?

Hey Folks,

with Firefox 60 GPO-Support for Windows got introduced: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/03/10/firefox-60-ships-with-windows-group-po...
Firefox Portable reads the registry-path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\ and locks for example the Installation of Plugins.

Can i somehow configure the FireFox Portable that he ignores this registry Keys?

Thank you!

Using the most recent version (v61).
Fresh install -- no old Data or profiles
Created a FirefoxPortable.ini file with the following content:

I tried to install a portable version of Firefox 46 because I desperately needed to access the hundreds of web pages I had saved in the MAFF format, and I still had the .xpi file for that extension saved on my old computer (no longer available for download). Yes, I know that I can still access those maff files in the extended release version of Firefox (v. 52.9) but that won't happen until after I've done a clean install of Windows necessitated by a calamitous remote session with the fellow who built my new computer.

I want to have different profiles and have cookies and other data stored independent (and not mixing or exposing to other profiles.)

EASY: just have different copies of the Firefox Portable.
This is OK... but each folder is 300MB.
I have 10 users. Each user needs to have 4 or 5 profiles.
So that could be 300MB x 50 = loads of space needed.

Whereas... I think it would be nice to have JUST the one folder with Firefox Portable + specific folders where I keep data for each profile.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

Good day. I want to know the command line options for Firefox Portable.

What I want to do is this; Firefox.exe -no-remote -new-instance -P Firefox_Current

I've had frequent freezing and Captcha errors from CL website on my old FF38 and had to update to 52.8 ESR (old machine winXP, SP2). For a few weeks Captcha worked - probably because I allowed cookies and got rid of NoScript. Placing CL and other sites in allowed Exceptions never worked. All cookies had to be allowed and kept till they expire. Now, even with everything allowed, including googleanalytics.com that I imagine must be allowed for Captcha to work, it still gives me errors on CL website.

This started occurring on my home PC (Windows10) on Friday 8 June 2018. When I fired up FirefoxPortable from my USB drive platform, and it opened my home tabs (office.com, google.com, wikipedia.org, and wiktionary.org), I saw the same result on each tab: "The owner of X has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website. The site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate."

Hi. I have an old version of Firefox Portable (http://prntscr.com/jonmmt), but I think it recently (in last ~3 weeks) has autoupdated (to Quantum?) or something like this)? I can see now two processes of FF portable in Task Manager (like for Quantum) - http://prntscr.com/jonooy
