Firefox Portable

The FirefoxPortable folder only contains the Data subfolder. The Other and App subfolders are gone.
So I can no longer try another update.
I'm currently downloading the *.paf.exe file manually (as there may be something wrong with platform updater because I'm also experiencing download issues with Google Chrome 64-bit) and will try to install it back that way.

This is driving me nuts. Since recently I have Facebook appearing along with my other tabs no matter what I do.
What I did :
- delete facebook.com in history
- delete the whole history
- disable every extensions
- make sure default page should be a blank page
- delete profile
- delete any Mozilla folder from AppData/Local or Roaming
- reinstall Firefox Portable entirely
- restart the computer

Hello!

Today I noticed that my computer was more sluggish than usual.

I did some digging and found out that I was running the 64bit version of PortableApps' Firefox ESR portable because I forgot to set up a FirefoxPortable.ini file.

However, when I make the file and write "AlwaysUse32Bit=true" in it, Firefox ESR Portable refuses to boot up, even with a clean profile.

What gives?

I read on Ghacks that "Mozilla plans to migrate Firefox Stable users on these three Windows versions to the Firefox ESR channel when Firefox 115 is released. This happens automatically and this special version of Firefox ESR will receive security updates until September 2024, its end of support date."

I'm running Win7 with a test install of FF Portable 114.0.2. When I install FF Portable 115.0.2 to that folder it remains regular FF Portable 115.0.2, not ESR, at least according to Help>About. Am I missing something? Will it continue to be regular FF Portable? Thanks.

Hello all,

I'm sorry for adding just another post on this topic but meeting 'Profile Missing' error message is somehow becoming an issue.
1st of all I manually upgraded to current Firefox Portable v105.0.2 over previous v105.0.1 that I probably only manually upgraded over previous v104.0.2 that if I recall well still gave me infamous error even if directly manually upgraded over previous v103.0.2:
'[ Profile Missing ]
/ ! \ Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.'

A while back I noticed the ESR App\Firefox folder is empty (rightly so) and the not-ESR is still fully populated.

While I never cared about the App\Firefox folder and its now 205 files worth 423 MB since backing up my live D:\PORTABLES\FirefoxPortable folder from a desktop Win10 500 GB M.2 SSD goes swiftly to my Ethernet gigabit LAN NAS (nothing Wi-Fi). But I recently began using iDrive and even though I have Quantum Fiber 200 mbps up, I'd like to eliminate the overhead of backing up that directory from the NAS to the cloud.

This time I can turn it off with JSwitcher add-on, but even the add-on button is now frequently missing from the toolbar on many pages. Switching it off and on again makes it reappear, but it's happening too frequently now and is very annoying...

Most important, many links on some pages would not open, including Check for Updates on add-ons page!

Don't know if it's related, but screenshot is often non-functioning too and not only on excluded pages. Someone posted about this problem and found a solution by switching it off/on in about:config - any way to fix it permanently?

Hello,

Some users open a firefox portable to access a website. I would like them not to be able to save their password in firefox.
I've looked at the business rule generator but I can't find anything about this.
Do you have a solution?

Best regards

For the last two or three updates, I have not been able to "Cut" bookmarks from the Library/Downloads popup window. The Cut option is grayed out. After the update before today's, I was able to cut again (no longer grayed out), so it was working yesterday but then this morning before today's update it stopped working.

Maybe this is only the portable version that it is not working on, but I don't want to install the desktop version to find out.
