Firefox Portable

Need Single instance of FFP with mulltiple .exe's concurrent with installed FF

Submitted by bitpicker on April 19, 2017 - 6:15pm

Getting Firefox is already running. Running installed FF 52.0.2 (32 bit) and Portable 2.0.4.1 as downloaded. AllowMultipleInstances=true and moved to FirefoxPortable.exe dir. Would like to have new tabs opened instead of new window. Many reported problems are looking for multiple instances and not what I am looking for.

Enter key no longer working for URLs typed into address bar

Submitted by PetersT on April 18, 2017 - 12:34pm

Recently, I've lost the ability to type a URL into the address bar and press ENTER to go to that site. Instead, nothing happens, and I have to use my mouse to click the arrow to the right of the address field in order to get to the site. This isn't the only aggravation I've been dealing with lately, but I'll stick to one problem at a time. Is there anything in the configuration settings that could cause this behavior (not that I recall having changed anything of late).

Running Firefox Portable Completely Offline

Submitted by Shankar Swamy on March 29, 2017 - 1:44pm

Hello,

I am wondering whether it is possible to turn off the Internet access to Firefox Portable and make it open only the files on the disk (USB Drive included)?

I use it strictly for Browsing HTML files cached on my disk and would like Firefox to not go online, at least not first without warning me.

Thanks for your time!

Gmail not working with Firefox 52.0

Submitted by BlackDawg on March 28, 2017 - 3:58pm

When trying to reply to an email using a portable version of Firefox the reply box pops up, however I am unable to type anything into the box. It acts as if the keypad is dead, has no response.

At first I kept getting a message saying that "this version of Chrome was not supported" by Gmail. This was what was in my Firefox browser window. I then clicked to update firefox and after the update (still Firefox 52.0.*) I am still getting the same results just no longer getting the not supported message any more.

The firefox 53.0 alpha2 developer portable ver. keeps making a copy & running it in the background. The background 1 starts up at pc startup even though i don't have it doing it & it keeps coming back up in the background no mater how many times i stop it.

This background copy is using up all my ram/memory. I deleted the real portable ver.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting the Flash Player to work with Firefox Portable. I also can't find any recent information on how to get it working. Anyone know how I can get started on this?

The installer was unable to download Firefox Developer Edition 32bit

Submitted by sosolala on March 17, 2017 - 10:45am

Yes, the installer can be downloaded. If you run the installer, an error message appears:
quote The installer was unable to download Firefox Developer Edition 32bit ....(ERROR: File not Found (404)) unquote
Within the PortableApps.com Platform menue it does not even appear under APPS => GET MORE APPS.
Anything I am doing wrong? I looks like a similar issue reported on Oct 23, 2016 and/or as reported on Jul 28, 2016.
I was not able to find a complete portable version (not installer only) to download. Does anyone has a link for?
Thanks for your help.

2nd Profile Utility

Submitted by Shmoe on February 21, 2017 - 10:27am

Hey Folks,

Feeling kind of dumb over here, but we deployed the Portable ESR release to our POS registers a few weeks back and now need to add a second profile. The issue seems to be that we installed it at C:\FirefoxPortable and the 2nd profile utility keeps attempting to locate it at C:\portableapps\firefoxportable.

I've tried installing it to the root of the C: drive to no avail. Any idea how I can change this without having to create that subfolder?

Thanks much!

Problems with Office 2016 files

Submitted by yanivhs on February 21, 2017 - 1:47am

Hi

I'm having problems when trying to open downloaded Office 2016 files.
When choosing to open with Excel , i'm getting this message :
" Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space"

When trying the same file with the Installed Firefox version, the files opens without any problems.
Also if I disable the protected view for internet files ( in Excel trust center ) the files will open correctly, but that's not a solution.
