Firefox Portable not running as local?

Submitted by Snippet248 on November 12, 2019 - 2:59pm

I have Firefox installed and despite closing it and opening Firefox Portable when I click on a pdf for example or an html file it opens the installed firefox instead of the portable one. I have not set "Multiple Instances" to true and I understand that being it disabled is the default. Do note I have updated the portable "installation" to the latest portable release.

Edit: forgot to add I'm running it in W7 x64.

TB lost FF portable file association after FF update

Submitted by mozfan on November 9, 2019 - 8:44pm

Once again FF updated automatically and removed all user controls over the process. This time, in addition to messing up add-ons, it also screwed up its default settings and would not stick as the default program. TB would not open FF Portable and resorts to the generic FF without my profile on PC. Time to return to a FF Portable old version? I'm sick of fiddling with "improvements" no one asked for! Last attempt at fixing it...

You've launched an older version of Firefox

Just upgraded and got the message

You've launched an older version of Firefox

Version is 69.0.3.7221, but compatibility.ini is:
LastVersion=70.0_20191016161957/20191016161957
LastOSABI=WINNT_x86_64-msvc
LastPlatformDir=C:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox64
LastAppDir=C:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox64\browser

So, no wonder.
But v70 at 16 October?

FIX: Rename/delete compatibility.ini

Portable Firefox Crashes

Submitted by dwtg7 on October 20, 2019 - 2:06pm

Why does Firefox Portable crash so often and what can be done to resolve it? I just loaded v69.0.3 and not five minutes into my new session it locked up and I had to restart it.

This has been going on for some time. I use Windows 10 and keep the updates current. My computer is less than two years old.

Thank You!

Firefox Portable edtion 69.0.3 is not working normally with bilibili.com video

Submitted by Swan on October 16, 2019 - 2:31am

Hi, there is a problem when visiting bilibili.com and can't play video smoothly from FirefoxPortable.exe.
It's stuck every 3-5 seconds and then the vision moves on then stuck again in a loop.
URL: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av71357702

But, it's ok when running firefox.exe from its install directory normally.
So is there any solution?

FF Developer's Edition v70 - Problems When Running From Different Path

Submitted by Kernel on October 15, 2019 - 12:46am

It seems this problem is back.

After setting up Firefox Developer's Edition v70, then moving it to a different path, the following happens:

1. It loses the set Theme and reverts to the default Dark Theme.

2. Add-Ons no longer work. Some of them can be made to refunction by disabling then re-enabling them.

Is there a workaround, or do we need to wait for the next version of the Firefox Developer loader app?

Firefox 55.0.2 how to change taskbar icon?

Submitted by Scorp on October 4, 2019 - 3:00am

I use Firefox Portable 55.0.2 on Windows 10. I just spent about 2 hours looking for a way to change the taskbar icon. I want to set a custom taskbar icon for every instance of Firefox Portable that I run.

I tend to run about 5 Firefoxes at the same time, and it becomes hard to know which one is which. So I would like to set a custom taskbar icon for each, make the taskbar icon a simple number, and that will be that.

So my taskbar will look like this:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Instead of like this:

FF | FF | FF | FF | FF

[Closed] Firefox Portable 69 stopped opening links from external apps

Submitted by Blackxx on September 24, 2019 - 1:27am

Hello to all, launching
"FirefoxPortable.exe www.google.com"
or
"FirefoxPortable.exe -url www.google.com"
used to work well, but for the last version of FF it started to output a message:
"Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition."
