Since Firefox Portables latest update pull down menu are mostly blank

Submitted by lcar21xyz on June 14, 2024 - 3:10pm

Since the latest update of Firefox Portable the pull down menu's like "copy and paste" or the "Main Setup Menu" are not showing any textual information. On the "Main Setup Menu" the Ctrl+ commands show but the text to the left of them does not display. To verify this seems to be a Firefox Portable issue I installed Firefox on my Computer and all it's pull down menu's are working properly.

Updating FF caused the "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error. But only on one machine.

Okay, so I have two machines - each of them running Firefox Portable Dev Edition. One was v119, the other might have been v118.

I updated both of them to v127. Afterwards, Computer-A runs fine, but Computer-B gives the "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window." error if you try to launch it again to open a new window (as opposed to Ctrl+N).

Can't get Firefox Portable to load websites properly... I've tried everything. :[

pretty much the title...

Firefox Portable in of itself runs perfectly fine on my laptop, but when I launch it from a third party app (an Antidetect Browser) it only half-loads most pages, there's missing fields and everything is all scrambled

for example, I can't check out on my Amazon account and when I went to purchase a gift card from Uber Eats earlier today, the email field was missing

any help would be appreciated!

I've tried just about everything

YouTube lowers video quality

Submitted by Galaxoid-333 on April 3, 2024 - 9:59am

When watching a video, if you set it to 720p, sometimes the video resolution is automatically reduced to 480p or 360p. Occasionally, it seemed to me that the resolution, on the contrary, increased to 1080p. I tried turning hardware acceleration on and off, it had no effect. This does not happen in other browsers.

Legacy Firefox portable to run Java portable only not the local installed Java on OS

Submitted by Sam786 on March 27, 2024 - 10:18am

Hi All,

Sorry to bring up legacy apps but I am trying to configure legacy portable versions of Firefox v3.6.28, v10, v20, v30 to run on portable version of Java - this is due to the URL/App being access only support Java 6/7 BUT on the Windows OS there is local install of Java 8 that the URL/App will not support.

Clamwin found Zard virus in Firefox Portable 124 and earlier

Submitted by Megafrog on March 23, 2024 - 1:08pm

I tried scanning my Firefox Portable along with other files with an up-to-date Clamwin:
K:\FirefoxPortable124\App\Firefox64\notificationserver.dll: Win.Virus.Zard-10023240-0 FOUND

That's not what I hoped to hear. I checked the PA site's info on virus reporting:
