[Fixed] Firefox profile broken when the USB drive letter changes

Submitted by philippetev on November 14, 2017 - 2:07am

It seems the portable launcher of that program can't fully handle the change of the drive letters. My profile was created when the USB drive letter was F and works perfectly with it:

(the tab size is the right since the TabMix Plus extension works)

(all the addons have their icons and their options menus are available)

[Fixed] Firefox and Cherry Tree won't launch after updating

On this thread...

...John TH said that Firefox is not supporting XP after version 55, and thus that is the reason why more recent versions of Firefox Portable won't launch in XP. However, I have the same problem in Cherry Tree: v 0.38.0 works fine, but 0.38.3 won't launch.

This problem might affect a lot more apps than just Firefox and cherry Tree, but those were the only two I updated before finding the problem. Any thoughts, John?

Thanks.

HTTPS rule of usercontent.css gets activated only after a restart of FF

Submitted by randyrant on October 26, 2017 - 2:41am

Using a customized usercontent.css, I found that the rule for HTTPS links ([href^="https:"] { content: url() }) is activated only after reloading FF (not version specific). Other rules go w/o issue.

Does anyone know the reason for this, and how to circumvent it?
