How to restrict Firefox folder access ?

Submitted by Finiderire on March 1, 2013 - 11:03am

Hello,

I am an advanced user (IT pro). My question is simple : I have just downloaded FirefoxPortable v19. I do not want it to access other places than its installation folder in any way. Using Windows 8 Pro x64.

How can I reach this goal ? Thank you for your help and have a nice W.E.

The underlying issue : I also run Waterfox portable v16 and I've encountered incidents when using both alternatively as if they share some files that they should not.

Why external links are opening in a new FF profile when FF isn't open?

Submitted by staicovici on February 26, 2013 - 7:46am

Hello,

First let me thank you for your work. PortableApps is a must in Windows world.

I have a small problem.
I have Portable Firefox 19 with few extensions and some customizations on it.

If FF is already open and try to open an external url from Yahoo!Messenger then is opening in the correct FF. My FF with extensions and customizations.

If FF is not open and try to open the same external url (is not important if is from Y!M or Thunderbird or other app) then is opening in a new FF.
A brand new FF with no extensions, customizations or bookmarks.

[Closed] FF 19 crashes on win 8 with AMD graphics

Submitted by potnoodles on February 22, 2013 - 4:15am

Firefox 19 will run for a few seconds or minutes then win 8 will report Firefox has stopped working.

A Known problem over at Mozilla forums, the workaround is to downgrade to 18.0.2. and wait for 19.1 (checking that the AMD bug is sorted).

Can you make 18.0.2 portable available once more?

Significant slow-down with USB-based homepage

Submitted by Nidis on February 20, 2013 - 10:11am

For a project, we're running Firefox Portable v19.0 off a USB thumb drive with a few plugins to kiosk-ify the end user experience. All the pages the user needs are also included on the USB so we've hidden the address bar, status bar and requests for updates in about:config. The one last spot of major trouble we're having is with the main page which follows the intro splash page.

[SOLVED] No history since copied from regular Firefox

Submitted by OsakaWebbie on February 18, 2013 - 2:49am

About three weeks ago, right before leaving on travel, I copied my key files (including places.sqlite) from my regular desktop computer's Firefox profile to Firefox Portable. Since then, saving bookmarks, passwords, etc. works fine, but I just now noticed that history is not being saved. If I go to All History, it lists January and months prior to that, but nothing in February (let alone things like Today, Last Week, etc.).

FF & updates

Submitted by bloodymary on February 16, 2013 - 10:35pm

It makes everything by itself.
I always set the option "never check for updates", but FF doesn't want to rispect the condition.
I've lost some addons with important setting for this. Can somebody tell me how to stop it?

Firefox is yet in use by another Firefox

Submitted by therock003 on February 16, 2013 - 2:15pm

After reinstalling my OS this is the message i get after running portable Firefox. Is there any way to successfully get it running, or at least what files can i grab and copy to a fresh Firefox portable installation? I need bookmarks, history, cookies, sessions, forms, plugins, and everything i had from before. I would hate to start from scratch... Sad
