Firefox Portable as Standard Browser

Submitted by MrSpice on January 24, 2024 - 6:02am

Hey
Sorry if this is a repost.
What's the best way to register a portable app lets say Firefox on Windows 11 as a Standard browser?

Update: When making FF as a Standard browser in the app itself I am able to add it in the win 11 standard apps panel.
Unfortunately it opens now with the clean default FF profile. Any solutions for that?

Firefox legacy 115.4.0

Submitted by endell esq on November 9, 2023 - 11:04am

I've just tried out Firefox 115.4.0 legacy...When I try to start it on my Win 7 system, I get an error message stating 'Firefox 116 and later require Win 10.....run Firefox legacy 115 instead'

When I press yes, it produces the same message.
I have had to go into the Firefox64 directory to start Firefox from where it starts normally.

Also, I have downloaded the legacy and the ESR version of Firefox, As I'm using the legacy version, do I need the ESR version?

Thanks.

Firefox Portable 115.4.0esr Drag Drop Shortcuts Bug

Submitted by habanero.dave on November 1, 2023 - 12:02pm

FF Portable 115.4.0esr (but also going back to at least 115.x.x if not older versions) Win7SP1 x64

For various purposes, I used to drag 'n drop shortcuts from FF URL bar, into folders. That stopped working after a FF update. Researching it, I found it worked again by launching FF portable with -no-deelevate on the shortcut to it.

Weird Multiple Instances Problem

Submitted by An Unused Username on October 27, 2023 - 1:04pm

For years I've been running multiple instances of Firefox portable with no problem. As of version 119.0, I've run into an odd situation... if any other instance (BTW all instances are the same portable version) is launched after the primary instance (the one I always have running) it just opens another window of the same primary instance. Which is obviously a problem because the primary instance is the one always running. However, if I launch one of my secondary Firefox portables first (ones I only use ocassionally), then my primary one will launch as it should.
