Firefox Portable

I am on the mozila site too because FF-portable suddenly does the weirdest thing. In short: when I click a link in mail or anywhere else a NEW instance of firefox portable seems to start, with a different profile. Same exe, 2 different profiles from 2 different locations on my pc.

Question from the person that has been very helpful on mozila forums:

Hi,

I heard that firefox has implemented a functionality similar to chrome to encrypt the user's passwords data with the windows credentials so that it's no longer portable.

Is there any known workaround or flag to to avoid this behavior ?

Thanks,
Ranga

As you know it is NOT possible (any more) to drag & drop URLs from Firefox to Windows Explorer in newer Firefox any more.

As a solution serves the commandline flag "-no-deelevate".

So when users call

D:\tools\firefox.exe -no-deelevate

Drag & Drop is possible again.

Ok, now I installed Firefox Portable from PortableApps:

Hi everyone.

I try to use my portableapps with Googledrive.
FF version: 75 64bit
I've find this problem:

PC1
PortableApps folder:
c:\Googledrive\PortableApps
Use a good copy of my firefox portable

At the end, update my copy of FF in the cloud.

Go home

On Windows 10 with FF 75.0

After just now moving the entire Firefox Portable to a new location, customizations are missing from the toolbar and menu bar (I use a lot) and extensions don't appear in the Customize Firefox page. Extensions are listed correctly on the Add-ons page but they have no icons. I do have full access to my bookmarks and history.

Moving the program back to the original location restores everything but I don't want it there anymore.

Help, please.

Hi,

I've modified the value DisableSplashScreen=true in $\FirefoxPortable\Other\Source\FirefoxPortable.ini, but the splash screen is still displayed during the startup. What's the solution ?

Thanks.

Firefox portable 75

hello, i'm using Firefox Portable 74.0 (64-bit), the latest version from the download site, downloaded through the portableapps platform app. i have discovered that i cannot clear the browsing history no matter what i do. i'm not sure when this started, but historically it has worked just fine.

I have ESET installed and https filter option on.
When i use firefox it shows an error on every website:

Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.xxx.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I've tried turn https filter option off and on. And imported the filter certificate of ESET to firefox but still dont work.
Does someone know how to solve this? Thanks

I put firefox portable in D:\internet folder and put a FirefoxPortable.ini in the same folder as FirefoxPortable.exe:
[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
AdditionalParameters=
LocalHomepage=
DisableSplashScreen=false
AllowMultipleInstances=false
DisableIntelligentStart=false
SkipCompregFix=false
RunLocally=false

Has anyone else have an issue with the latest iteration (73.0.0 and 73.0.1) not being able to
1. open certain webpages (Chrome and IE11 work)
2. download files (it keeps failing on everysite)
Thank you

Privacy is STANDARD
I'm getting the following on one sites download "page"
"Error code 20

The proxy failed to connect to the web server, due to TCP connection timeout.
