Firefox Portable

Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

Found a bug, not sure if anyone encountered it already. But while I was trying to figure it out, I tried searching for this error and couldn't get any help. I eventually figured it out on my own.

Here is the error:
Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

Here is my environment, not all of it matters, but I will just put it anyway.

Streaming problem

Submitted by reem_151 on April 24, 2013 - 5:46am

I stream various radio stations while I surf around using Firefox. Since an upgrade to 20.0.1 I notice that the stations drop out every now and then for a few seconds, sometimes I have to refresh the tab that the station is on. The problem I have now is that I have been using this interactive flash based tutorial and every time I click any button, the streaming radio stops and I have to refresh the page. Is there a setting that may change this or is it a bug that needs to be fixed? If so, where do I report a bug?
Many thanks.

Firefox SYNC

Is it ok to use Firefox SYNC in Firefox Portable; if so, what can I sync?

I know the Firefox sync feature is present on Firefox Portable but I'm afraid that synchronizing certain features, like add-on, will break Firefox Portable.

Can anybody shed some light on Firefox SYNC on Firefox Portable?

Thanks

Portable Flash?

Submitted by therock003 on April 19, 2013 - 6:47am

I've heard that copying NPSWF32.dll to the plugins folder adds flash for firefox. But to me thats not the case. I tried that and when i access a page with flash content firefox freezes and responds significantly slow, and it forces me to terminate its process from task manager.

FirefoxPortable should set right current working directory

Submitted by hablutzel1 on April 13, 2013 - 4:30pm

Normal Firefox execution sets current working directory to $program_files/Mozilla Firefox when executing firefox.exe, this is required for some applications, for example, an applet using softokn3.dll to access Firefox keystore, because being this the current working directory other dlls can be found by the application.

To the time Firefox Portable current working directory is the same where FirefoxPortable.exe is which makes fail some applications that depend on normal Firefox current working directory.

What do you think?

Please take a look at

How to make FF Portable a default - at ALL times

Submitted by occam on April 9, 2013 - 3:59am

I am running under Win XP Pro Sp3

I used to have Firefox installed. Then I migrated to Firefox portable, by transferring the profile across. I have since uninstalled the original and deleted all associated folders.

When I click on my desktop icon, I get my portable FF poping up no problem -- with all my extensions, bookmarks and plugins.
(The icon points to C:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe)

When I click on a link within Thunderbird (email client), a 'virgin' version of FF pops up. No extensions, no bookmarks, etc.
(C:\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\firefox.exe)

Firefox Portable Test Builds

Submitted by ObeydElMejor on April 9, 2013 - 12:36am

What's the status on the Firefox portable beta builds?
The .paf builds are several versions out of date.
Will development resume, or will users have to resort to using Firefox's native updating feature?

I've attempted updating through the in-client method, but for some reason the update makes Firefox very crash prone with resource use through the roof.

Update Concerns

Submitted by therock003 on April 5, 2013 - 5:40am

-Can i update firefox portable directly from inside the program or do i need to download the latest version every time, and migrate my data there?

-Also if i change the name of the folder will it create a mess? I mean lets say the Folder is called FirefoxPortable, and i change it to FirefoxPortable20. Will everything still be the same?
