Firefox Portable

Our NetGear network switches can only be managed by particular versions of particular web browsers. The best one right now is Firefox Extended Support Release 17.0.7. We can not upgrade to new versions of their firmware without an old webbrowser. At least it is not as bad as only working with IE6 in a largely Linux shop ( nightmares of the Linksys SRW24 ).

i am very very familiar with having Firefox use multiple profiles but i have been spending all day to try to get this to work with FirefoxESR 17.

Hello

Is there a way to add a shortcut to start Firefox directly with -private argument?

Well, I had all the update stuff turned off, and I got an update anyhow.. It makes flash videos skip, take forever to buffer, and the sync is terrible..

Basically the new versions completely broke flash and made me leave my cherished firefox browser for Chrome territory.

Now, I want to go back, but the ESR version just seems REALLY outdated. I'm assuming that's the only option, though, correct?

According to Mozilla Firefox ESR life cycle (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/), Firefox ESR 24.7.0 and Firefox ESR 31.0 release at the same time.
So when will we switch to Firefox ESR 31.0 ?

file linked from https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/test gives installer file not found error constantly with several tries. I guess eventually things will sort out, but for now nightly would probably be better off linked to previous version or be fixed preferably.

For some reason Firefox Portable keeps crashing. I just had a clean install, and installed FlashBlock and Speed Dial and now Firefox keeps crashing. On hitting the restart Firefox button it restarts normally but a few seconds later a dialog box pops up and says could not load XPCOM. Then it crashes again.

I am using Portable Firefox for web development.

Today i want to upgrade my local installed version Firefox to 31, but i pick the wrong short cut point to portable one and update via about menu.

After restart i know i am doing wrong, but the portable Firefox update success to v31.0 and it work fine.

So what is the negative effect if i do it via about->check update?
Just wonder what the build-in updater actually do to my system? (write registry, leave some file, create another profile etc.)

Yesterday the Firefox Hotfix got downloaded and installed into my firefox portable.
Normal the installer is incompatible with firefox 30.
With an normal firefox 30 the addon is incompatible.

As i thought it will be a bug in the hotfix i created a bug on bugzilla of mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042099

They closed the bug, as the hotfix works correctly and the bug must be in the portable version, that the hotfix doesn't recognize that it is incompatible.

Having installed FF30port over perfectly well working FF28port configurations with loads of add-ons (esp. language add-ons) for several times I am quite disappointed of what is going on:
- tabs no longer working (close buttons, width, switching between etc.)
- I never liked tabs floating over (!) the underlying tab window and covering parts of the window content
- bottom bar is missing, many of the icons vanished completely
- add-ons are disabled (even FF30 compatible ones!), enabling does not work

I have two profiles of FirefoxPortable and I'd like to combine the Bookmarks into one of the profiles. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks
