Refine AllowMultipleInstances support?

Submitted by tvierling on May 31, 2007 - 4:59pm

Hi John! Thanks for your excellent work, as always....

I have a conundrum. Right now, AllowMultipleInstances=false in FirefoxPortable.ini means two different things at once:

1. External invocations of Firefox, e.g. from a system-installed copy, will instead open new tabs/windows in Firefox Portable so long as Firefox Portable stays running;

2. If another version of Firefox, portable or not, is currently open, Mozilla Firefox Portable Edition will refuse to start.

I have the JRE on the same thumb drive as firefox portable. I was wondering if there is a way to tell firefox to look in a specific place for the jre rather than the default one.

Launch portable apps for MIME type

Submitted by mstinaff on May 30, 2007 - 6:00am

I wanted to be able to use Portable FireFox to launch uTorrent, Foxit Reader, and other such portable apps from my drive. First I found this:
https://portableapps.com/node/1629
but I didn't want to put a copy of every portable app in the firefox directory so I tried a few things and came up with this
assuming:
PortableApps
-\FirefoxPortable
--\App
---\firefox
----firefox.exe
-\Foxit Reader
--foxitreader.exe

1. Open PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox directory
2. create a text file named PDF.cmd
3. edit the file to contain
start "..\Foxit Reader\FoxitReader.exe" %1

Abnormal shutdown causes all extension settings lost upon restart???

Submitted by guntherfurlong on May 27, 2007 - 10:08pm

I've experienced this a few times. I think at time Firefox doesn't shutdown properly. SO when I restart it, all my extension settings are lost. Does anybody know more about this or ways to counter act it?

The only way I can think is to make regular copies of my firefox portable! I can't live without it!!!! Smile

Dear All,
