Firefox Portable

Memory Leak/Crash; 64-bit Stable Build recommendation?

Submitted by testplayer on April 8, 2015 - 6:10am

I was happy with the standard Firefox portable (stable release, currently 37.0.1), and I have been using more than 70 extensions in my current profile which can be traced back to 2008. But in the recent several months, I do have too many tabs opened, so it is quite easy to make firefox.exe to occupy more than 2.4GB memory. In this case, the whole browser window will be completely blank without showing anything and CPU usage will blow up. It is quite annoying because I had to kill the process frequently and resume my work every time.

Upside down??

Installed Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition 37.0.1 on 04.04.2015, seemingly working just fine BUT going to any Google pages - in my case Google Maps - I find them mirrored, i.e. upside down and back to front. On the 'net this seems a Crome-related thing, so has anyone else come across it in Firefox?
Rolling back to previous version /36.0.4) the Google pages displays just fine.

Dear All,
Thanks for your amazing work, just like my title said:
I try to test whether local firefox exist or not, if exist, then start local version firefox with portable profile. if not, then start the portable version firefox with portable profile.

Is anyone know?

Elevated privileges?

Submitted by mlease on March 5, 2015 - 11:22pm

I only use Firefox Portable occasionally (usually use Chrome), but I had occasion to try to start it for the first time in a while on my work computer. I got a dialog box that stated that I was not permitted to run the application with elevated privileges (first time I've seen this). Why does it want to run with elevated privileges in the first place? Is this a configuration issue, and how would I go about investigating and fixing it if so?

Thanks,
Mike
