Firefox Portable

Hi Folks,

After installing Portable Firefox on a thumbdrive, the local PC installation of Firefox has lost my local profile. Is there a special install method to avoid this or have I done something wrong?

My Windows 7 installation of Firefox uses Junction Points from the C: to D: drives:

C:\Users\Drew\AppData\Roaming\Firefox -> D:\Users\Drew\AppData\Roaming\Firefox

It appears that the Junction Point is removed by the Portable Firefox installation process

I have been having this problem since firefox single digit versions.

if I use a fresh install of firefox portable on win 7 with portable flash, it works just fine, but if I take a frequently used firefox portable from win XP, flash player just refuses to work and freezes my browser or makes it extremely slow.

I have all the plugins and settings all set for this profile, and simply copying my XP profile to a win 7 install will retain this problem anyway. what can I do to make the flash player work without creating a new profile?

Hi,

We have discuss on this forums about Tor browser which can not distribute by portableapps.com. Tor browser bundle can not update itself. But each week new updates are releasing.

Tor browser based on Firefox. So if we install Tor plugins on Firefox, we will not need tor browser (at least for most things).

I search a little bit but I could not find... Where are the tor plugins for Firefox exactly? What should I do to my Firefox to surf on Deep web?

Thank you

Firefox users never know whether they're going to get a box of chocolates or a box of coal when they upgrade to the latest version of Firefox. Our favorite add-ons may work with the new version, and our favorite sites like youtube may work fine, but if not then we may need to go back to the previous version. But we sure don't want to go back all the way to version 3.x.x. It would really be helpful to keep one or two of the relatively up-to-date versions. If the latest is version 29, then keep version 28 and 27 until version 30 is ready, please.

Good day, John! How do you feel?
Can I please ask you to update appinfo.ini? The [Details] section contains this string:
Homepage=PortableApps.com/go/FirefoxPortable
but this link gives a 404 Page Not Found Error. Maybe you should change it.
Thanks, cheers!

Hi there,
How come we don't hook up portable to work normally with the built in profile manager and profiles.ini? Why don't we also update the userApplicationDir?

These were the reason why I needed to detect if its portable. There really shouldn't be any need to test if portable as it should just be Firefox.

I know what I've changed this morning (UK time)

updated to FF 29.0.1 from here
grabbed the new RegAlyzer from here but I don't think that is the problem

Problem perceived:

FF 29.0.1 running + ClamWin Portable produces system reboot
FF 29.0.1 running + Malwarebytes Free produces system reboot

ClamWin Portable + FF not running, fine
Malwarebytes Free + FF not running, fine

Hi all (and John )

From addon scope, the special path UAppData does not update for FirefoxPortable, is there a way I can calculate this path in my addon.

Special path obtained by: Cc["@mozilla.org/file/directory_service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIProperties).get('KEYWORD_HERE', Ci.nsIFile).path;

UAppData is giving me: C:\Users\C71ZQW1\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox
This path is valid IF and only if Firefox was HARD/FULL installed (as in not portable) to anywhere on the C drive.

But I have installed FireefoxPortable to: C:\Users\C71ZQW1\Desktop\FirefoxPortable

Firefox Nightly 32 Update failed and now I get this message when I try to start firefox from bookmark shortcuts.

"Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition cannot be started. You may wish to re-install to fix this issue. (ERROR: firefox.exe could not be found)"

And I get "Access Denied" for certain folder (Other, App\AppInfo, DefaultData\*, etc) into MyApps\FirefoxPortableNightly

Now I cannot update it or even deleting the folder because of access rights

Please help

Thanks

I have installed this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switchy/
and i am able to run two profiles in the same time with it and i have also set "false" for AllowMultipleInstances.
