Firefox Portable

Upside down??

Submitted by kermik on April 8, 2015 - 5:48am

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.

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

Shockwave Plugin

Submitted by pwilliamson19 on February 28, 2015 - 5:28am

Ffox portable v35 and v36. I keep getting error messages about the Shockwave Plugin. These instructions don't work
https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#plugins

I don't get a prompt when I install Shockwave so I can't select which browser to install into. And I can't find a plugins directory.

Any suggestions, apart from using a different browser?
