Firefox Portable

I'm stupid and lazy

How can it continue to work once the program itself is removed from the computer?

(I mean of course it can't store anything anymore, but I figured it'd crash)

Firefox Portable doesn't backup/restore the Crash Reporter keys. This is the preference under Advanced -> General -> "Submit Crash Reports".

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start Firefox Portable
2. Go to Options
3. Hit the Advanced tab, then General
4. Disable Submit Crash Reports
5. Close Firefox Portable
6. Observe that a registry value has been created without cleanup. HKCU\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reporter\SubmitCrashReports

There seems to be a problem with the latest version of FF 17.0 in that you can edit your cookie settings and exceptions and that the profile database for such settings isnt retaining the information. Apparently it throws it out as a bug and ignores the error so nothing is seen just the entry is deleted.

I have noticed this occuring when logging into several forums and it accepts and logs me in then reloads the page but Iam logged out. I have altered several settings within FF and it still occurs.

I was wondering when Firefox 17 ESR would be out.

I'm learning portable apps coding so I decided to try something basic: I installed FF Portable and deleted the FireFoxPortable.exe to see if I could use the source code to recreate it. I have the PortableLauncher Generator and NSIS Unicode installed, but when I use the Launcher Generator to to recreate a working exe file, opening FireFoxPortable.exe shows an error app/appinfo/launcher/FireFoxPortable.ini is missing. That's odd, because FF Portable doesn't install that folder or file.

What am I missing here?

Due to many problems with my favorite addons, I've decided to downgrade to a previous FireFox version. Please could anyone be so kind to give me a link, where I can dowload the PortableApp FireFox v16.0.2 (am I right, that this one is the latest v16 Release?).

Looking into the download-section, I've only found elder versions. Further I wanna know, if there could occure any problems with my profile when downgrading to a previous major release?

Many thanks in advance

Can't get Flash working for the life of me... Here is what I've done:

• Copied NPSWF64_11_3_300_257.dll and flashplayer.xpt to both:
  • \PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\plugins
  • \PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins

  (I saw a few mentions of the \data\plugins folder in the forums, so I created the \data\plugins folder since it didn't exist)

• After the above didn't work, I changed plugin.scan.plid.all from true to false, to force Firfox to look solely in the plugins folder.

Firefox 17 portable disables the Tab Mix Plus extension (v0.4.0.3, latest) - "incompatible with Firefox 17.0". However, this is not the case with regular Firefox. I suspect that this is not an extension-specific issue but the result of a wider underlying problem, so I thought I'd better report it.

I've a problem to access the addons page ''STRG-SHIFT-a''. Neither with the menu nor with the shortcut. Everything was working fine until I upgraded to version 17.0. In the help ''about firefox'' the version 17.0 is displayed. Any idea how to correct that. I'm admin in this account on my computer and I'm working with Windows 7 home porfessional 64Bit.

Running Firefox Portable at the same time as running Comodo IceDragon (portable), is it a bad idea?

Comodo IceDragon is a web browser that is based on Firefox, and it can be installed portably.

(Comodo IceDragon homepage http://www.comodo.com/home/browsers-toolbars/icedragon-browser.php)

I know there are reasons why Firefox Portable won't launch/run when another instance of Firefox is running (local or portable), but it will launch/run when an instance of Comodo IceDragon portable is already running.
