Firefox Portable x64

I updated to the recent release of FFPortable via portableapps and noticed with this release that extensions which were not signed by devs were immediately removed from the browser, one of those extensions that I use daily happens to be Adobes Acrobat PDF extension, which lets you convert web pages into a pdf etc...

Will not load profile if opening link from external souce.

I've searched but can't find the answer, hence this topic.

When I start Firefox by clicking on the icon everything is fine, but if I open a link from email Firefox starts with the default profile. all my settings and bookmarks are missing. I have to first start Firefox myself, then click on the link in email in order to keep my profile. How can I have Firefox Portable always start with my profile?

I am attempting to install and run Firefox Portable on a RamDisk. My machine is running Windows 7 and followed a Wiki How article: "http://www.wikihow.com/Speed-Up-Firefox-by-Running-It-In-RAM" which was apparently written for Windows XP users. I modified the procedure for Windows 7 using TaskManager to run the batch files to copy and save Firefox and it appeared that everything was set up correctly.

Running portable Firefox 42 and portable Firefox ESR 38.4 at the same time

Submitted by gwt10 on November 21, 2015 - 5:14am

I've noticed numerous threads concerning issues running your native C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox at the same time as the PortableApps version, but how about these two different versions running off your USB at the same time?

Will that also leave bits behind, even though I'd never open the native version off my HD at the same time?

[Request] allow root relative/absolute profile paths in FirefoxPortable.ini.

Submitted by Andy22 on November 19, 2015 - 8:49am

I have put my portable apps collection on a clouddrive and i want to put the profile directory out of the portable apps root folder. Thats because the reads/writes to the profile data is rather slow on this clouddrive. Unfortunately the FirefoxPortable.ini "ProfileDirectory=Data\profile" always expects a relative path from the Portable root. Instead i want to use a relative or absolute path that can be outside. This way FF can use its own sync feature rather than the constant read/writes i get on the profile folder of the cloud filesystem.

Portable Firefox did not survive upgrade to 42

Submitted by Jerome_C on November 17, 2015 - 5:24am

Hi

I've been using FF portable for quite a long time : I use it on a PC used at the office where installing any application is blocked (setup requires admin rights).

FF has been upgrading automatically quite fine over the time, ie the integrated upgrade function (from the "about" window) is not blocked.

So did it upgrade to FF 42, but then things went bad.

Firefox 42.0 won't install/extract

Submitted by DBDigital on November 12, 2015 - 1:25pm

Anyone else trying to install/extract Firefox 42.0? I double click but nothing happens. The pointer flashes for a few seconds and then nothing. Nothing is running in the background and I can install anything else. I have admin access and running as admin generates the same result.

Anyone else running into this? I haven't updated my portable version in a while so it may be something recent that changed?
