PortableApps Firefox not starting

Submitted by wywern on March 24, 2014 - 8:53am

As from last week, the Firefox PortableApp is no longer starting. When I click the icon, or try to start it from its folder, I see the startup window (that says Mozilla Firefox Portable Edition) but then nothing more.

There does not seem to be any avaliable updates, I am running PortableApps v. 11.2 and Firefox v 28.0. My other portable apps works, so this seem to be a specific Firefox PortableApp problem. I have tried it on another computer but had the same problem. I use PCs.

Firefox Portable History and Cache

Submitted by eddieyost on March 14, 2014 - 12:33pm

I selected Firefox Portable so I could run it on my PC (Windows 7) in drive D (secondary hard drive) and avoid excessive writing to primary drive C (SSD). I'm trying to find where history and other data are stored so I can use CCleaner to occasionally securely overwrite it. I've searched the various Firefox files on drive D and have been unsuccessful in finding the specific file that stores this information. I know it is being stored because by clicking on the Firefox tab and selecting History, I can see the list of sites I visited today and yesterday.

which functionality should i reactivate for firefox to start ?

hello,

INTRODUCTION :
firefox too long ( one of the three best web browser ) does not work anymore it is not tolerable . (3 bug is present , * does not start * runs for less than a minute then freeze * windowed mode without failure)

on (more than 3 ) virtual machine it works very well

I 'm only talking about windows 7 integrale x64 ! fully updated via windows update!

the problem is recurring since 6 ( a bit more ) last firefox (currently tested with 27.0.1 )

this is not normal! firefox does not work because paleMoon works!

If Firefox Nightly Portable crashes, then when it restarts, it loads the non-portable Firefox profile instead of it's own

I use Firefox 27.0.1 stable (non-portable) as my everyday browser in windows 8.1 x64.

I have also installed
FirefoxPortableNightly_30.0_Alpha_1_Pre_English_online.paf

All works ok, but, if Nightly Portable crashes
and you press "Restart Firefox" in the Mozilla Crash Reporter window
(the crash report is submitted before it restarts)
then, when it restarts, it loads the profile of my Firefox 27, instead of the Nightly Portable one!

Please fix this issue.
