Firefox crashes before I can even do anything

Submitted by Ashura on October 29, 2014 - 12:49am

A couple days ago I was downloading something on firefox but in the middle of that download the power went out when I got back on all my history was gone and now firefox crashes before I can even do anything.

I tried deleting the folder and reinstalling it but that didn't fix the problem, is there anything that can be done to fix firefox?

Portable Firefox updated to 33.0.2 and is not in oficial website. (Updated)

Submitted by CesarAugusto on October 28, 2014 - 5:39pm

Hi. This is my first post and i am PortableApps user.

Minutes ago my Portable FF show a new update advise to 33.0.2 version. I click on it and almost 3MB download was applied. I post this because this release is not in oficial website. And my Portable FF is set to 33.0.2 version. See this picture:

Anyone saw this too?

FF 33.0.1 portable is malfunctioning

Submitted by Houston on October 25, 2014 - 3:37am

There are a couple of major problems I have noticed so far. First and foremost, the newly designed "Open Menu" icon, on the far right side of main menu bar, does not appear to function at all when I click it. There is no error message; it just shows the little clue as I hover over it, but that is all it does. Secondly, when I use the Menu bar for View > Toolbars > Customize, the customizer does not open at all. So, since it is not accessible there or from the aforemention "Open Menu" icon, it is not available anywhere now.

Displayerrors after upgrade to version 33

Submitted by swessels on October 16, 2014 - 1:02am

Good morning!

After upgrading to version 33 there are severe diplay errors.
The main window is transparent, message boxes have a black background.
Menuitems, buttons etc are not visible and / or accessible.

A complete new installation of Firefox portable doesn't help.

The browser is completely unusable.

Are there modified settings for display- or graphic handling in use?
The system inuse is a Core I5 with intel HD graphics, Win7 Enterprise.

Thanks for your opinions,

regards,
Stefan

Is there a way to know when the browser finishes launching and when it closed?

I did not find any event for this i.e onload and onclose.

Thanks!

Firefox Portable not performing cleanup after crash

Submitted by marcelo-ar on October 13, 2014 - 2:06pm

While running Firefox Portable, SMPlayer Portable and Process Explorer portable, system crashed due to power failure.

After restarting Windows, as expected, when launching SMPlayer and Process Explorer Portable both apps showed a popup warning and performed a "cleanup", but Firefox Portable started without any warning about unproperly previous close and did not performed any cleanup, so leaved some Mozilla Firefox folders and files on %localappdata%, %appdata% and a firefox registry key.

JIRA problem with Portable FF that does not occur in non-Portable FF

Submitted by sehlat on September 25, 2014 - 1:28pm

I have both a non-portable and a portable version of the latest FF on my work system. Both of them have no extensions.

In the non-portable system, all the sections of my JIRA dashboard display correctly. If you're familiar with JIRA, each of my 'filters' displays all the results.

The portable system, on the other hand, displays only ONE of my filters and the others are empty of results. I can get them to display by maximizing them (which then displays everything) and clicking "restore" to put them back where they belong.

Upgrade FF Portable 24.0.0 to FF Portable 32.0.2 Problems

Submitted by NotMine on September 24, 2014 - 2:37am

Has anyone seen these issues in FF Portable 32.0.2 after an upgrade:

Upgrade process
Copy known working FFP 24.0.0 folder to a "\tmp" folder on a completely separate hard disk. Download FFP 32.0.2 via portableapps.com link to the "\tmp" folder. Run FFP 32.0.2 "exe" file. It finds the "copied FFP 24.0.0" folder and no errors were output. Run the "exe" for FFP 32.0.2 and FFP opens up after checking extensions; I only had to upgrade "Download Tweak something or other".

(1) FFP 32.0.2 page loads are "dead slow"

File Storage Location With A Permanant Install OF FF 32 Portable

Submitted by Geff1 on September 17, 2014 - 7:21pm

I am going to be doing a pc upgrade. Due to issues back in the days of Win 98, I have FF Portable 32 on an XP box as my default browser.

I need to copy the following files:

Bookmarks: (said to be) places.sqlite
Passwords: (said to be) logins.json and key3.db
Forms: (said to be) formhistory.sqlite

Running Windows search, for bookmarks & Forms all I can find is the basic Vanilla FF install & a Sea Monkey version. I can't find logins.json at all.

Can anyone help? I can't migrate to Win 7 or 8 until I get this figured out.
