Firefox Portable

I need to use Firefox with Java 7.
But I can only put the version 8 of Java working with Firefox.

Does anyone can give me a matrix compatibility or something to get this working?

I only use Firefox Portable occasionally (usually use Chrome), but I had occasion to try to start it for the first time in a while on my work computer. I got a dialog box that stated that I was not permitted to run the application with elevated privileges (first time I've seen this). Why does it want to run with elevated privileges in the first place? Is this a configuration issue, and how would I go about investigating and fixing it if so?

Thanks,
Mike

Ffox portable v35 and v36. I keep getting error messages about the Shockwave Plugin. These instructions don't work
https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#plugins

I don't get a prompt when I install Shockwave so I can't select which browser to install into. And I can't find a plugins directory.

Any suggestions, apart from using a different browser?

The operating system for my desktop is XP. My browser is Firefox Portable Edition with Google as the search engine. Recently I got a popup in the middle of the screen ask me if I wanted to download Security and Stability updates for Firefox 35.0.1. I do not know the relationship between Firefox 35.0.1 and Firefox Portable Edition. Should I install the updates for Firefox 35.0.1 on my Firefox Portable Edition from the popup?
If not, how do I prevent this popup from appearing over and over again ?

Hi,

I´ve read hundred of Posts about setting FFP as DefaultBrowser,
or using "Special" ProfileManagers for FFP... but I can´t find
a solution for this problem:

When I open a URL from my eMail by clicking a link, I managed
to set FFP as default Browser, so this is fine... but...:

When I have FFP already opened, I get a new Tab, which is fine.
But, when I do not have an instance of FFP running and click the
URL Link, FFP is started, but with the profile from the host pc
located at the default folder C:\Users\Yves\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Is it possible to open new tab with specified URL using pure command line? I tried:
FirefoxPortable.exe -new-tab "http://address"
It works when FFP is closed, but when it's already opened with other tabs I get this error:

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window.

Is there any way around that?

My setup:
- FF 28 as default browser
- FFP 35 as secondary browser
using -no-remote on FFP to run both together

Hi,

It seems the FF portable setup does not add "FIREFOX.EXE" key to win. registry? The key is expected to be here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\FIREFOX.EXE
with its "Default" string value pointing to FF path (including exe e.g. C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\firefox.exe) and "Path" string, pointing to FF app directory (e.g. C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox).

Some apps use this key for detection of FF installation. Thanks.

I have built an emergency recovery boot disk using MAKE PE3 - 48 and P Start to enable the use of portable programs after booting into the recovery environment. I have successfully used Firefox Portable up to and including version 28.

All Portable versions since then up to the latest Version 35 will not start. All display the error that they cannot load XPCOM.

These same Firefox portable versions will, however, start in the normal Windows 7 Ultimate environment on all of my computers, however, in the MAKE PE 3 environment, on the same device, they will not.

Hi. I would like to set Firefox Portable as my default browser. I've found a few different references to methods for ding this, but they are either no longer available or they simply don't work.

I've also looked in at the FAQ here and searched the forum. Unless I'm overlooking something, the info available is how to set Firefox as the default but not FirefoxPortable.

Can this be done?

I'm running both Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 and would like to set things up for both.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance!
