Hi friendos,

I'm in search of a valid copy of firefox developer (portable, preferrably, but not- will do the job), since i got updated and i'd like to go back to that version but can't find a copy anywhere.

So, if some of you guys would send a link or an upload of a working copy of this version, i'd be more than thankful.

Using Firefox Portable with Selenium 3+ and GeckoDriver

Submitted by dionysiose on June 8, 2018 - 7:02am

I am trying to use Firefox Portable 60.0.1 with Selenium 3.11.0 and GeckoDriver 0.20.0.

So I specify the executable for both the Firefox Portable and GeckoDriver:

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", ClassLoader.getSystemResource("webdriver/geckodriver_0.11.1.exe").getFile());
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.bin", ClassLoader.getSystemResource("FirefoxPortableESR/FirefoxPortable.exe").getFile());

The above results to Firefox Portable and GeckoDriver not being able to communicate with each other. However, if I run:

Could we consider moving the default cache to the Temp directory?

I don't know where the current write directory for FFP is but I'm assuming it's on my flash drive as whenever I visit YouTube, the light on my drive becomes a morse code beacon and doesn't stop flashing at all. With the limited number of read/writes a USB drive has, would it not be better to move the browser cache to the local hard drive by default on FFP?

Run Portable, Want To Quantum Desktop

Submitted by Theo1352 on May 5, 2018 - 1:46pm

I have been using Portable on a USB drive for some 6 months now, have configured it to my preferences. Thought this was the best way to get to know the new FF.

I will continue to use Portable when I travel on all my laptops, but want to add a permanent desktop version from Mozilla.

I have Waterfox (current) as my default, also have FF ESR (current) on my desktop, as well as Basilisk (Pale Moon derived, current). These were stop gaps while I played with Quantum.

Now, I want to use Portable to configure Quantum on my desktop.

Not launching java

Submitted by OFox32 on April 18, 2018 - 8:27pm

I have been using portable Firefox 51 and portable Java 8u161 for the past few months and it's been working great until yesterday. Now I have to have Java 8u171 for it to work. I don't have Java installed on my computer so it's not a conflict. I am using a mozilla.cfg file to configure firefox to not update or look to the Operating system for addons. I can't use java 8u171 because the app is not compatible with it, it requires java 8u161 or 8u152. if I visit www.java.com and click verify java it just shows a blank white spot.

Can I force 64 bit?

Submitted by Lorry on April 14, 2018 - 4:39am

Hiya.

I have 2 versions of Firefox Portable running on this Windows machine and one loads as 64 bit, and the other as 32 bit. Whatever I do to the second one, it always loads as 32 bit. The ini files are the same, I have even (in desperation) tried changing the FirefoxDirectory to App\firefox64 but nope, even though the image shows as firefox64/firefox.exe it's still a 32 bit image.

Is there a way to force it to load up the 64 bit one? An opposite of AlwaysUse32Bit=true maybe?

This is driving me kind of insane because there seems to be no logic at all to it.
