Firefox Portable

Hi,

I am using 90% Chrome as browser. I very often use Firefox.

Firefox creates .tmp files inside its own root folder: "D:\PortableApps\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable" directory. The number of these .tmp files are multipying every time I saw them.

I try to remove them but they are re-creating themselves automatically.
I try to remove - install FirefoxPortable but it did not solve the problem.

I had the problem since 2 month, but I forgot to write here on the forums.

I make always the updates of PortableApps platform.

FF portable is setup so it doesn't load plugins from harddisk. And in the portable drive folder for plugins are these: flashplayer.xpt, nppdf32.dll(10.1.4.38), NPSWF32.dll(11.5.500.85), NPSWF64.dll(11.5.500.85)

And it work on most web videos, fx this one works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRBc1t06paw&feature=relmfu

But then there are often also some that just appear as a black box, fx. this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri8rju7sZLI

And it doesn't even report "Missing plugin", it's just black. But if same URL is opened with IE installed on harddisk it does work.

When I download the portable firefox, it just pops up as a text document full of jibberish and not an actual file to download. Any help on how to properly download would be greatly appreciated.

Putting the FirefoxPortable.ini in FirefoxPortable folder and setting AllowMultipleInstances=true allows me to start multiple instances of FirefoxPortable.
But when I want to start FirefoxPortable2ndProfile while FirefoxPortable is already running it wouldn't start, saying that another instance is already running. How can I enable FirefoxPortable2ndProfile to allow multiple instances? I tried putting the FirefoxPortable.ini in the FirefoxPortable2ndProfile folder and setting AllowMultipleInstances=true like in my previous case, but it doesn't work!

I have problem with firefox portable creating a new profile in %AppData% when I click links from other applications, or when I opened saved .html files.

Any idea why this would be happening? I can't find or figure out a solution to stop this.

thanks.

Noticing a very strange behavior with FirefoxPortable_16.0.1_English. Some random images are simply not displaying. For example, the little youtube logo in the upper left corner of youtube.com. Its just not there. Other sites are missing random images too, while others display just fine. The sites look great in Chrome, and I have tried reinstalling a fresh copy of ff portable to make sure all the settings are default, still have the missing images.

Any idea what this could be?

Firefox 16.01 Portable, tabs cannot close. I can close the window of course. The X on the tab doesn't work. Right clicking and choosing Close Tab doesn't work. Right clicking another tab and choosing Close Other Tabs doesn't work.

Firefox 17 Beta Portable, JavaScript errors out the wazoo. Mostly on Facebook. YouTube as well.

Firefox 16.01 doesn't have the tab issue at home, and I generally use the same extensions on both home and portable. Portable doesn't have the Reddit extension and a couple home-specific extensions. Tab Mix Plus is on both but again, tabs close on installed 16.01.

Hi

It happens that since Firefox 13.00 I cannot use Firefox anymore on my pen drive.
I download it on a computer, make it work; then I copy all the directory on open drive and move it on another computer, but at this stage it doesn't work.

Any help?

thanks

THe firefox app page states that the preview pictures in the new tab are blank due to the disabled disc cache in Firefox portable. Since version 16, those pictures are stored as jpegs in the profile folder and thus appear even if the disk cache is disabled.

@John: Please change the page.
