XPCOM - One machine only

$
0
0

Hi all, I have Firefox Portable version 53.0.2 on my external harddrive which I use every working day. I have to switch between two computers each day. The odd thing is that one of my computers has just started giving me the 'Cannot read XPCOM' error. This machine has opened Firefox Portable everyday before without fail, and the update was a while ago. As far as I can see there is nothing different on my machine that would have stopped it from loading Firefox.

If I install a new copy of Portable Firefox on that machine I get an access error code (something like 0xc0000022). If I take my drive to my other computer and start up Portable Firefox then all is fine.

Does anyone know what could be causing this please, and how to fix it? It seems to be something on that particular machine as I tried a friends usb drive with Firefox on it and that wouldn't start either.


Issues with 53 ... Not keeping configuration?

Having a couple of issues with v53.02rev2 ...

1. Lastpass plugin now prompts for the MFA token value every time the browsers started. This is even if the tick box to remember for 30days is clicked. This was working in the previous release from here.

2. After a couple of hours of usage it just loses connectivity and refuses to connect to anything any more. It has the box ticked to use an automatically provided proxy (corporate environment other browsers working fine) but it seems to forget this after a couple of hours. Restart and it works again.

What is Firefox Portable Rev 2?

Switching languages FF53port and upwards not working

$

there is a nice explanation here of how to switch languages of FIREFOX PORTABLE on the board here (Method 2: Language Packs and Locale Switcher - Download the Locale-Switcher extension ... install it - Download the language pack - install it - restart - TOOLS / LANGUAGES and select the language - Restart).

tried this with greek and serbian, switches nicely. but with FF53 upwards it does not fully switch back to the original (USengl) language, for example many of the drop-down menus remain in cyrillic serbian, arbitrarily, some words are back in english, some remain in the foreign language - unusable.

anybody here experienced similar? or does so after you try it out? any workaround yet known? maybe another of the (many) other locale switchers?

Default Settings like Default Browser Check

Hi there,

fresh and new to this forum as well as Firefox Portable. We´re challenged to publish Firefox portable for our users. So the Folder with the files is saved on a network location with rw Access for the users.

The user starts the firefox.exe from App\Firefox\ how can we set defaults like "no Browser Check" and so on, or is it necessary to start the FirefoxPortable.exe from the root directory?

Tried to modify the pref.js but without success.

Everybody help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

LastPass for Firefox Portable discontinued

Just wanted to let everyone know that LastPass has discontinued the add-on for Firefox Portable. Problem is, that the add-on doesn't connect to the safe anymore after typing in the master-password! It's now only working with the installed version of Firefox. In my case it doesn't make any sense to continue using this browser now. Is there an alternative password manager that works as easy as LastPass and that works with the portable version of Firefox, Chrome, etc.?

After installing Mozilla Firefox Developer Edition v55.0 Beta 2, I get this error when starting FirefoxPortable.exe:

New install, tested both English and Dutch version.

Default preferences

Hi,

In a local Firefox installation is it possible to set preferences at /Firefox/defaults/pref/all.js (or other name js file). It is useful for setting preferences to remain after every restart overwriting the user settings, or setting a mozilla.cfg file to lock some settings. We need it to lock some proxy settings before distribute the portable Firefox to our users.

I tried it with Firefox Portable and it doesn't seems to read Firefox/defaults/pref/*.js files. How can I do it with the Firefox Portable?

Thx

Running Multiple instances of Firefox ESR 52 Portable

Hi,

Recently I upgraded my Firefox ESR to v52.2.1 and notice I can't run more Firefox instances despite the fact i have FirefoxPortable.ini set like this:
---
[FirefoxPortable]
AllowMultipleInstances=true
---

Firefox itself presented the error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window

Did some testing and found that this version only accepts multiple instances if the -no-remote option is not passed to firefox.exe by the portable launcher.

Just to let the developers know about this...

Possible bug in FF 54.0.1?

Could be as I had trouble with this one vendor on-line, just the one, as Amazon and the others seem unaffected. So below is a copy and paste I had with their help desk;

(02:50:51 PM) *** Help Desk 2 joined the chat ***
(02:51:05 PM) Help Desk 2: Hello Bruce
(02:51:18 PM) Help Desk 2: There appears to be an issue with the browser you are using
(02:51:30 PM) Help Desk 2: Have you tried a different browser?
(02:51:44 PM) Bruce: You have some code in your page with "Proceed to Checkout" that doesn't either want to co-operate with Firefox 54.0.1 or there is a glitch in my copy or maybe I have the security features cranked up too high. Again clicking on that page in FF produced no action. What I had to do was run Google Chrome, which I hate because it is a privacy risk and leak, most people don't know. Copy and paste URLs cross-ways - FF to chrome, which got me to the checkout, then that URL back into FF, after which I could continue, securely, to activate my Paypal account from within Firefox and conclude the transaction. I will report the glitch to John Haller of PortableApps as it is his version of FF I use, not the one directly from Mozilla.
(02:52:39 PM) Help Desk 2: Again, I recommend calling in to place your order over the phone
(02:53:18 PM) Bruce: Well, it is done, can you just confirm, while you are there?
(02:53:53 PM) Help Desk 2: Your order was successful
(02:54:05 PM) Help Desk 2: I see from our records ETA on file for you is between 7 AUG - 14 AUG meaning you could receive your order anytime in between those dates. Once your package ships you should receive an email with your tracking information
(02:55:10 PM) Bruce: Thank You, I will contact the developer of Firefox Portable about the glitch.
(02:55:21 PM) Help Desk 2: No problem

For privacy I will not include the vendor's name here, it is peculiar, but it happened twice, same vendor, for my own records I saved the steps that I went through to complete the transaction.


Firefox Portable & Java Plugin

$

Dear all,

I've being trying to run Firefox Portable (versions ESR 45.7 and regular 45) with jPortable (versions 8 update 91 and 121) with no success.

I'm capable of seeing the plugin available in the browser but when I try to run an applet (such as in https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp) it just stays blank after I click on "Verify java version".

Some time later a message appears saying that it wasn't able to detect the installed version.

Any idea what is happening?

Kind regards,

52.2.1 ESR on Vista (32-bit): profile cannot be loaded

- Copied FirefoxPortable.ini from Other\Source to the folder containing FirefoxPortable.exe and made sure all the entries in it were correct.
- Tried to run "FirefoxPortable.exe -p" but found out later that it was not portable.
- Made an %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\profile.ini file and a Profiles subfolder (both empty) under that folder.
- Did not tamper with the App folder, except for deleting Firefox64.

Nothing worked. This seems to be a new problem as I couldn't find any solution on the Web.

Never done a portable before, so I know absolutely nothing about this. Basically, I want to get Firefox 3.5 onto a flash drive, along with some add-ons and extensions. Is there any sort of step-by-step instructional available for us total greenhorns? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I just noticed this folder :
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Pending Pings
left behind after exiting FF portable.

Maybe it needs to be cleared up like crash-reports.

Noticed it in v55.

Possible Layout Problem

Hello

While browsing pixiv with the firefox portable the site layout became borked losing some of it's several functions.

Context:
Messed up layout - http://imgur.com/n3BnFRrhttp://imgur.com/xzeS7oh
Correct layout - http://imgur.com/40YqtXV

It won't also display which links were previously opened ( http://imgur.com/SVt82Wp ). Site won't work on any stored portable version, but works on the non-portable firefox version (45.7.0 ESR). Everything was fine yesterday, what can be the problem?
