Firefox Portable

Ever since Portable Firefox v42 came out I can no longer use it because it simply blue screens my computer before it ever finishes loading; it installs fine, but won't run at all. I didn't say anything before because I was waiting to see if v43 did the same thing and it does. I noticed that the filesize of the v41 install file is 43MB whilst the filesize of v43 is 93MB, more than double. I didn't save the v42 file so I don't know if whatever is in those additional 50MB is what's causing the issue. No other program causes this behavior.

I followed the advice that is presented to me as the end-user, and I changed my settings in FirefoxPortable\Other\Source, where FirefoxPortable.ini is but when I save the file in notepad, then re-launch Firefox the 32-bit version doesn't show up.

My metric for success is if I can get a game using Shockwave player to function, since Shockwave is separate from Flash, and any software that requires it now says there needs to be a plugin, which isn't loading because I'm using 64-bit Firefox.

Hello John,

Having the same issue as user "twoelk" stated in the FF 43 comments:

I updated to FF 43 and only get the FF splash-screen when trying to launch. Had to acutally delete the App/Firefox64 directory to get FF 43 32-bit to launch.

I've included the SUMMARY, OS & CPU output from Piriform's SPECCY, below:

Hi

I have the latest firefox and jportable (32 & 64bit) "installed". I read that firefox should automatically pick up java but it never does.I dont see anything in plugins and if i go to a java testing website it says java isn't detected.

Anyone have any ideas?

I updated to the recent release of FFPortable via portableapps and noticed with this release that extensions which were not signed by devs were immediately removed from the browser, one of those extensions that I use daily happens to be Adobes Acrobat PDF extension, which lets you convert web pages into a pdf etc...

Hello

Can you update to 43.0 ? please

Does influence installation of extensions on portability? Or it is necessary that one examines the portability for each extension separately?

I've searched but can't find the answer, hence this topic.

When I start Firefox by clicking on the icon everything is fine, but if I open a link from email Firefox starts with the default profile. all my settings and bookmarks are missing. I have to first start Firefox myself, then click on the link in email in order to keep my profile. How can I have Firefox Portable always start with my profile?

I am attempting to install and run Firefox Portable on a RamDisk. My machine is running Windows 7 and followed a Wiki How article: "http://www.wikihow.com/Speed-Up-Firefox-by-Running-It-In-RAM" which was apparently written for Windows XP users. I modified the procedure for Windows 7 using TaskManager to run the batch files to copy and save Firefox and it appeared that everything was set up correctly.

I've noticed numerous threads concerning issues running your native C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox at the same time as the PortableApps version, but how about these two different versions running off your USB at the same time?

Will that also leave bits behind, even though I'd never open the native version off my HD at the same time?
