Firefox Portable

The firefox 53.0 alpha2 developer portable ver. keeps making a copy & running it in the background. The background 1 starts up at pc startup even though i don't have it doing it & it keeps coming back up in the background no mater how many times i stop it. The copy it makes & keeps bringing back up in the background is going in my windows/system32 folder in a folder called x32 file: xfirefox.exe. & no matter how many times i delete it, it comes back cause it running in the background. This background copy is using up all my ram/memory. I deleted the real portable ver.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting the Flash Player to work with Firefox Portable. I also can't find any recent information on how to get it working. Anyone know how I can get started on this?

Yes, the installer can be downloaded. If you run the installer, an error message appears:
quote The installer was unable to download Firefox Developer Edition 32bit ....(ERROR: File not Found (404)) unquote
Within the PortableApps.com Platform menue it does not even appear under APPS => GET MORE APPS.
Anything I am doing wrong? I looks like a similar issue reported on Oct 23, 2016 and/or as reported on Jul 28, 2016.
I was not able to find a complete portable version (not installer only) to download. Does anyone has a link for?
Thanks for your help.

Hey Folks,

Feeling kind of dumb over here, but we deployed the Portable ESR release to our POS registers a few weeks back and now need to add a second profile. The issue seems to be that we installed it at C:\FirefoxPortable and the 2nd profile utility keeps attempting to locate it at C:\portableapps\firefoxportable.

I've tried installing it to the root of the C: drive to no avail. Any idea how I can change this without having to create that subfolder?

Thanks much!

Hi

I'm having problems when trying to open downloaded Office 2016 files.
When choosing to open with Excel , i'm getting this message :
" Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space"

When trying the same file with the Installed Firefox version, the files opens without any problems.
Also if I disable the protected view for internet files ( in Excel trust center ) the files will open correctly, but that's not a solution.

Hello

I'm doing automated tests with a Selenium platform. We use Firefox Portable for browser sharing on a single VM. Until now, I used Firefox 46 and under in Portable Edition to do my tests, with Selenium 2.53 which doesn't require GeckoDriver.
Now, I wanna test new Firefox versions but Geckodriver is mandatory !

Hi,

I've some devices which unfortunately their firmware requires specific versions of Java to access, a cross of v6, 7 and 8

I've installed x3 copies of portableapps in seperate folders, along with portable versions of Java Launcher and Browser Switch.
However, when I access the webpage and it prompts me for Java.. it always launches the OS-installed binary (java 6). I've verified which binary its calling using Process Explorer.

Am I missing something on how to get portable firefox to use the portable java version ?

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?

Ever since Firefox included the colored emoji font “EmojiOne Mozilla” in recent releases, It no longer loads the fonts in “X:/PortableApps/PortableApps.com/Data/fonts” folder (where “X” is drive letter). This is inconvenient as I set the default fonts for Firefox for those fonts in past versions.

Hello,
how can I start firefox 32 bit version from shortcut?

Firefox is not included in Portableapps platform
It's standalone (and portable, and downloaded from portable apps)
I know, that there are variants: to launch from app folder firefox 32 bit, delete 64 bit folder, than restore it...
But my question is how can I use launcher FirefoxPortable.exe to do that (for example, with shortcut)?
