Firefox Portable

Hi,

the FirefoxPortable.exe in the folder causes the message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" when clicking the firefox icon to open a second firefox window. I "fixed" this problem copiing an old FirefoxPortable.exe in the folder.

LastVersion=133.0.3_20241209150345/20241209150345
LastOSABI=WINNT_x86_64-msvc

This was the old portable app
WizardVersion=3.7.5.0
PackagingDate=2023-07-11
PackagingTime=10:33:05
InstallerVersion=3.7.5.0
InstallDate=2023-07-22

Thank you

I just started up Firefox portable ESR and noticed that sync wasn't working after further investigation it seems it's respecting group policy and it's writing to the registry. If it's doing that then I don't see what the point of it it? It's not a portable app. It should only write settings locally to the same directory and never to the registry. It should not respect GPO policies, Intune, etc.

Getting a 404 error when PortableApps tries to update Firefox Portable Developer

Will Firefox 133.0 .3 be released soon?

Launching Firefox 2nd Profile, it uses the same profile folder as the 1st profile. Now I can't have multiple Firefox using different profiles.

Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to use environment variables in path name in the FirefoxPortable.ini file, for instance %username%, %appdata%.
There are several profiles on the family PC and I would like to save each profile datas in the specific %appdata% directory.

I tried to set the "ProfileDirectory=" in the FirefoxPortable.ini file that way :
ProfileDirectory=..\..\..\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\FFdirectoryName\Data\profile
... but it didn't work.

I have previously use a policy file in a Distribution folder in the Profile folder to stop the splashscreen displaying. this no longer seem s to work in 132. Ihave also inserted DisableSplashScreen=true into various ini files without success.
How do you remove it?

After updating to version 132.0 the navigation bar icons reset and swap positions seemingly randomly each time the browser is started. Unsure if it is an issue specific to beta 1 but after installing the full non-portable version to compare, which is currently on 132.0 beta 5 the issue is not happening there. OS is Windows 10 x64.

Could we please not abandon Firefox 115 ESR?

New version Firefox 115.16.0 ESR was just released today, and updates will officially continue well into 2025, with Mozilla saying they may be open to go further than 2025, given that hundreds of millions of machines are still using Windows 7/8, and they will obviously never get updated, since they don't have hardware requirements for Windows 11, and Windows 10 End of Life will be in 2025.

So kindly reconsider abandoning Firefox 115 ESR for Win 7/8 at portableapps?

Hi..

I have a few questions about Firefox Portable:

1. Is it possible to create 100+ profiles in Firefox Portable? I read on the support page that I need to use the "Firefox Portable 2nd Profile 2.0.2 app." Can I do this without using that app, just with one Firefox?

2. When I open "about:profiles" why is the Default profile located in C:/ and not in the F:/ path (where I installed PortableApps)? If I use it on another computer, does the profile not transfer with it? And when creating a new profile, does the location need to be set manually?
