Why is MultipleInstances not possible in general?

Submitted by c2cg on August 5, 2010 - 12:35pm

Hey there,
thanks for the great work.

But I was wondering, why MultipleInstances is per default not possible?

I changed the FirefoxPortable.ini to allow MultipleInstances and it worked smooth and very well, even if my local Firefox was running. But is there a chance to corrupt my local Firefox-Settings or what is the reason, why I have to allow it?
Incompatibilities with previous versions?

Cheers.
Dirk

4.0b2 and W2K

Submitted by the-edmeister on July 28, 2010 - 3:26am

Portable 4.0b1 worked fine on W2K, but Portable 4.0b2 just shows the Portable Apps splash screen and never launches - no process in the Task Manager. There's no RtlCaptureContext error message, like with the Minefield nightly's after or on 07-08. If W2K is no longer supported, there should be a notice on the download page; but I hope John is able to come up with a fix for Portable Firefox like he did here - http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/windows_95/ - for Firefox 1.5.x.x.
LOL, wishful thinking on my part.

I think this is the appropriate Bug report about what is broken.

FFp 3.6.8 installation error

Submitted by foxcole on July 24, 2010 - 1:17pm

Trying to install FF 3.6.8, I get this error:
Error opening file for writing.
x:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\AccessibleMarshal.dll

I re-downloaded 3.6.8 a couple of times, to make sure it wasn't a corrupted download. I am installing over 3.6.7.

If I "ignore" the file to continue the installation I get the same error for App\Firefox\LICENSE and then for README.txt, application.ini, blocklist.xml -- and that's where I aborted the installation.

FFp 4 beta 1 doesn't recognize the flash plugin

Submitted by Zalica on July 22, 2010 - 12:06pm

I download FFp 4beta1 and I put NPSWF32.dll(the version is 10.1.53.64) in the \FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins folder but FFp doesn't recognize it.
Maybe it's a bug here?Does anyone have the same problem as I do?

PS: the real problem is : FFp 4 beta 1 can't recognize the directory which contains chinese character.
