Minefield, Portable Edition 3.7 Alpha 5 Pre Nightly doesn't work

Submitted by lemarc on June 26, 2010 - 6:43am

I know that there's no support for developer previews and nightly builds but I want to ask if it's possible to fix the current nightly build which is avaiable as portable app. Even if I run the installer it crashes while downloading the latest nightly build showing up the following message:

The installer was unable to download Current Minefield Trunk Build.
The installation of the portable app will be incomplete without it.
(ERROR: File Not Found (404))

Upgrading

Actually this is not part of the FAQ, so bear with my question.

I was happy with FF portable 3.5.9. where I run 50+ add ons without problem. I then decided to upgrade to 3.6.3. Here is what I did:

1. Make a safe copy of FirefoxPortable to FirefoxPortable 3.5.9.

2. Unzip the firefox portable 3.6.3. and dump it to the existing FirefoxPortable folder

Bad update - for real this time?

I got a notice telling me to upgrade firefox and restart, but after that, attempting to run it only brings up the preloader graphic. I tried installing firefox on another USB drive to see if it's just the computer, but the newly installed one worked fine.

So is this recoverable? And if it isn't, how can I move my stuff to a new copy of firefox portable without also copying the bug?
