Stop extension updates in Firefox Portable

Submitted by kermik on November 10, 2016 - 4:01am

I cannot find this in the Mozilla forums. My problem is that I use an extension that in the recent versions do not work the way I want it to, whereas not so recent versions work just fine. But of course Firefox want to update the extension - so how do I turn this off for this extension?
And yes, I've taken this up with the extension creator(s) but there they blame Firefox.

Firefox 49

Submitted by Pmingeot on November 8, 2016 - 6:31am

Hi everybody,

I'm running into a weird problem with the latest version of Firefox portable. In version 49.0.x, the program stops responding and is never loading.
When I start it, I can see in my task bar (yes, Windows system) 2 windows for Firefox: 1 for the program itself (where the home page stays blank indefinitely - at least 5 minutes, after that, I kill it) and 1 I can't open.
I've already tried several ways to install it without success.
And as I don't see topic about this issue in the forum, I suppose it has something to do with my own installation.

Firefox Portable update

Submitted by Cesare55 on November 8, 2016 - 2:07am

I run Xp sp3 with FFP 47.0.1 and it ask me to update to FF 47.0.2. I tryed to find FFP 47.0.2 version on Portable Apps WEB page (Sourceforge), but I've found FFP 49.0.2. If I use Update Software Window (Show Other Update Info) it redirect to mozilla FF WEB page, where FF 47.0.2 seems to be available since November 01, 2016. Could someone let me know how to proceed? Many thanks in advance.

This may be a problem with my environment, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

I've started getting the follwing message screens on several sites - Dropbox and Google+ to name two.

Is lacking SSE2, or SSE3, a new twist to system requirements?

Submitted by u21832 on November 3, 2016 - 11:20am
  1. firefox 49 actually check at startup if SSE2 CPU instruction is available. it issues an explicit statement, and does not continue, if that instruction is not available. I guess Windows 7, and newer, can not be installed on such CPUs. It there fore concerns only XP. Did I miss portableapps explicitly mentions that requirement on relevant web pages?
