Java support for multiple versions

Hi,

I've some devices which unfortunately their firmware requires specific versions of Java to access, a cross of v6, 7 and 8

I've installed x3 copies of portableapps in seperate folders, along with portable versions of Java Launcher and Browser Switch.
However, when I access the webpage and it prompts me for Java.. it always launches the OS-installed binary (java 6). I've verified which binary its calling using Process Explorer.

Am I missing something on how to get portable firefox to use the portable java version ?

Firefox 51.0.1 with Geckodriver problem

February 14, 2017, 12:45 am

Hello

I'm doing automated tests with a Selenium platform. We use Firefox Portable for browser sharing on a single VM. Until now, I used Firefox 46 and under in Portable Edition to do my tests, with Selenium 2.53 which doesn't require GeckoDriver.
Now, I wanna test new Firefox versions but Geckodriver is mandatory !

The problem is, the same code execution doesn't produce same result for Standard 51.0.1 and Portable 51.0.1. In the first case, I can reach a specified page. In the second case, a page is opened: file:///C:/Users/$USER/AppData/Local/Temp/rust_mozprofile.j9Pz8K5gSlQC/ and it freezes due to a bug in the driver. The real problem here is: Why does this page open up at startup ?

I talked about it in official Geckodriver Github: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues/469
Maybe it's a problem of parameters --profile $(path to profile) and then Portable edition doesn't interpret it well and then opens up the profile instead of using it. Is it the case ?
They suggests me to move on standard edition but I wanna know if I can find a workaround with the portable edition.

Problems with Office 2016 files

Hi

I'm having problems when trying to open downloaded Office 2016 files.
When choosing to open with Excel , i'm getting this message :
" Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space"

When trying the same file with the Installed Firefox version, the files opens without any problems.
Also if I disable the protected view for internet files ( in Excel trust center ) the files will open correctly, but that's not a solution.

I've tried with several versions ( 41, 48, 51 ) but with the same results

please advice

2nd Profile Utility

Hey Folks,

Feeling kind of dumb over here, but we deployed the Portable ESR release to our POS registers a few weeks back and now need to add a second profile. The issue seems to be that we installed it at C:\FirefoxPortable and the 2nd profile utility keeps attempting to locate it at C:\portableapps\firefoxportable.

I've tried installing it to the root of the C: drive to no avail. Any idea how I can change this without having to create that subfolder?

Thanks much!

The installer was unable to download Firefox Developer Edition 32bit

Yes, the installer can be downloaded. If you run the installer, an error message appears:
quote The installer was unable to download Firefox Developer Edition 32bit ....(ERROR: File not Found (404)) unquote
Within the PortableApps.com Platform menue it does not even appear under APPS => GET MORE APPS.
Anything I am doing wrong? I looks like a similar issue reported on Oct 23, 2016 and/or as reported on Jul 28, 2016.
I was not able to find a complete portable version (not installer only) to download. Does anyone has a link for?
Thanks for your help.

The firefox 53.0 alpha2 developer portable ver. keeps making a copy & running it in the background. The background 1 starts up at pc startup even though i don't have it doing it & it keeps coming back up in the background no mater how many times i stop it. The copy it makes & keeps bringing back up in the background is going in my windows/system32 folder in a folder called x32 file: xfirefox.exe. & no matter how many times i delete it, it comes back cause it running in the background. This background copy is using up all my ram/memory. I deleted the real portable ver. but the copy still shows up. Why is it doing all this & how the H!@# do i stop it?

Gmail not working with Firefox 52.0

When trying to reply to an email using a portable version of Firefox the reply box pops up, however I am unable to type anything into the box. It acts as if the keypad is dead, has no response.

At first I kept getting a message saying that "this version of Chrome was not supported" by Gmail. This was what was in my Firefox browser window. I then clicked to update firefox and after the update (still Firefox 52.0.*) I am still getting the same results just no longer getting the not supported message any more.

Still unable to reply to any of my gmails using this version of Firefox. This is on my work PC using Windows 7. Hence the reason for using the portable version, not able to install Firefox on my work PC, just using it from my flashdrive.

Running Firefox Portable Completely Offline

Hello,

I am wondering whether it is possible to turn off the Internet access to Firefox Portable and make it open only the files on the disk (USB Drive included)?

I use it strictly for Browsing HTML files cached on my disk and would like Firefox to not go online, at least not first without warning me.

Thanks for your time!

Enter key no longer working for URLs typed into address bar

Recently, I've lost the ability to type a URL into the address bar and press ENTER to go to that site. Instead, nothing happens, and I have to use my mouse to click the arrow to the right of the address field in order to get to the site. This isn't the only aggravation I've been dealing with lately, but I'll stick to one problem at a time. Is there anything in the configuration settings that could cause this behavior (not that I recall having changed anything of late).

Need Single instance of FFP with mulltiple .exe's concurrent with installed FF

April 19, 2017, 3:15 pm

Getting Firefox is already running. Running installed FF 52.0.2 (32 bit) and Portable 2.0.4.1 as downloaded. AllowMultipleInstances=true and moved to FirefoxPortable.exe dir. Would like to have new tabs opened instead of new window. Many reported problems are looking for multiple instances and not what I am looking for.
Currently use installed Firefox with a local Autoit/iMacros app using imacros://run/?code=... and shellexecute which opens new tabs and not new FF window. Would like to use Firefox Portable in place of the installed Firefox for the local app. Have tried replacing the Shellexec's with RUN statements which is at command line level and still get same results - already running message.

Noticed in about:support that "Profile Folder " entry does open FFPortable profile folder, but the "Profiles" entry about:profiles shows the root directory and local directory associated with the installed Firefox @ c:\users.... roaming .. xxxxxxx.default

Have not installed iMacros addon or any addons to FFP and if FirefoxPortable.exe is selected twice from explorer you get already running, which is for sure. Installed firefox initiated the same way will open a new tab if no blank tab exist, or do no visible action if a blank tab does exist.

Don't know what an .nsi file is, but looks like that is the gate keeper.

?? Can I use Portable FIrefox with multiple calls without invoking another instance? If so would appreciate any suggestions. bitpicker

ESR version jump (?)

April 22, 2017, 12:35 pm

For ESR (the primary but not the only version I run), the most recent one available as of yesterday (4/21/17) was 4580. Today, I see this has somehow jumped to 5210 (?), however I am still getting Mozilla messages to update ESR to v. 4590. So I'm a bit confused. Standard portable has just released v. 53.

While I'm at it, I'd like to know if the policy on allowing user exceptions for "flagged" extensions we choose to keep on running has changed, or is due to change any time soon. If it has or will, I plan to stay with ESR 4580 for as long as I can. As I have noted before, retaining certain functionality that I want trumps security or whatever other reasons for policy change happens to motivate the powers-that-be in FF development.

Thanks.

Extensions Vanishing from Firefox Portable

For some reason after installing FFP and adding No Script Security Suite and HTTPS Everywhere extensions, and then browsing with both extensions working fine, upon restarting Firefox the next browsing session, all my extensions were gone. A search in the installation folder turned up nothing recognisable. I installed both extensions again, and again, upon restarting Firefox, both were gone. The issue may not be peculiar to FFP. Shortly before installing the Portable Apps version, I installed Firefox full (version 53), and found these two extensions and a number of others were all being refused by Firefox as signature fails. Nonetheless, they installed fine when I dropped Firefox and installed the portable version - then vanished. And then vanished again.

Has anyone had this happen?

Profile RANDOM corruption/missing/lost/XYZ?!

May 10, 2017, 12:54 am

Hey,

I have some serious issues with FF, TB and several other Apps over PortableApps!

I own three different PC (Windows 10 64bit as User/AntiVirGear-N10, Windows 7 64bit as AntiVirGaming/AntiVirGamingT7 and Windows 7 64bit as User/AntiVirGear-N7) and all my data and apps are on a 1TB HDD without any errors (weekly SMART check, file defragmentation and chkdsk) and here is the point: It happens randomly!

Let me show you some scenarios and define N10 as A, T7 as B and N7 as C!

1. A using FF for browsing, downloading and watching videos.
2. B uses FF for browsing and downloading.
3. A uses FF again for browsing and watching videos.
4. C uses FF for browsing.
5. B uses FF for watching videos
6. A get a corrupted profile, settings are lost or dot detected (for example, all my password are gone but if I start FF as admin, then I can see them!)

Sounds like B cause the corruption, right? NO! It also happen if I use C, it mostly happens, if I use FF on another PC and then it just need a bit of luck whether I can use FF without any problem or have to restore/rebuild a profile AGAIN!
But here is the point, PortableApps is MADE for using apps on any kind of PC so why does it happen to me all the time?

AV doesn't affect anything since I refuse them to access the portableapps folder!
I always safely remove the HDD and only plug it in after windows have been loaded!
I don't start FF or else as admin since I don't think I need to.

So yes... I'm now making a backup with toucan every time before unplugging but this shouldn't be a solution for that.
Tell me what's wrong with my configuration and thank you therefore so much.

Best regards
AntiVirGear
