Firefox Portable.exe Free Download
Argelia Fernandez
It's not a duplicate of this question since the author seems to start two instances of the same firefox installation (which also has the same default profile). In my case, I have a installed firefox instance (default profile folder %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles). The portable firefox seems to use the path Data\profile relative to FirefoxPortable.exe.
I think the problem (a probably loop) can be in firefox kantu addons 5.2.3 because if I use firefox kantu addon 5.2.3 with old xmodules give me same bug, to not have bug i must use firefox Kantu addon 5.1.9 + xmodules v201905.
Use portable versions or create different profiles for the installed. In the second case call the Profile Manager (Start > Run > ..../firefox.exe -P) or open "about:profiles" (Firefox 46+ only) and start the Profile Wizard.
I think you need to change PATH variable as well:
stackoverflow.com Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed. OS appears to be: VISTA java, eclipse, firefox, webdriver asked by user2045704 on 06:40AM - 06 Feb 13 UTC
i install portable firefox on a different folder in drive c. that is not located in program files. I did not find the folder Data/plugins in the firefox portable folder in which i installed. Where can i find the Data/plugins folder?
You say "browse to the executable" so does that mean I first need to install firefox and chrome to get to the executables? Or do I just need the names of the exectubles? Never used hash rules before so would appreciate your assistance. BTW I work in a school so my problem is students not staff members.
Hi Frazzle, I tried it with different builds of firefox (UK, US) obviously with different build numbers and the one Hash rule worked for both. I am yet to see what will happen when an updated version comes out. Glad to hear this article was of use to you. Don't forget to vote for it's spiceness cause there must be heaps of people out there with this problem!
I ran into the same problem with the version of Firefox portable I tried. I ended up ignoring the folder (with the text file) that they provided and created my own "plugins" folder alongside the firefox executable.
I am also waiting for the solution, for some unknown reason, firefox does not autofill and it is pain every time switch to lockwise and manually copy & paste the user id and password to the websites.
I would like to use Keepass or other password manager, much better than lockwise also easy integration with other browsers.
As with Firefox, any versions prior to 48 will need the legacy flag (firefox.useLegacyDriver), set to true, see configuration section below for more details. Note: FirefoxPortable 47 has a bug and will not work with Selenium WebDriver. FirefoxPortable 47.0.1 works fine.
You will need to specify the location of the executable using the firefox.exe configuration property. See configuration section below. And in some corporate environments you may have to rename the executable to get around polices that block FirefoxPortable.exe (e.g. renaming to FF.exe works fine).
Place firefox.profile = default (or a named profile that you have created and configured) in your configuration file, FirefoxBrowserProvider will use that profile and automatically pick up whatever proxy settings you have configured in Firefox.
Sometimes, when I had this error, I could restart Firefox. In that case, I would have more than one Firefox entry in the Processes list in Task Manager. I was most likely to notice the problem while using Firefox Portable. So in Task Manager, there could be more than one instance of firefox.exe, or there could be firefox.exe plus FirefoxPortable.exe, or both. At other times, I would have only one instance of firefox.exe, but it would not go away, and its presence seemed to be keeping Firefox from restarting.
It seemed, in other words, that some other program (perhaps FirefoxPortable.exe) had spawned the firefox.exe process, and then the spawning program had gone away, but for some reason the child process was left behind as an orphan. The child was not only an orphan; it also appeared to be dysfunctional. Specifically, I noticed that the firefox.exe process was the only running process that did not display anything in the Description column in Task Manager.
Among the GUI programs listed above, Process Hacker seemed to take a particularly thorough approach. I tried Process Hacker > Processes tab > click on Name column heading to sort by name > right-click on firefox.exe > Miscellaneous > Terminator > Run selected (almost all boxes selected by default). This would reportedly try multiple methods of killing the process. Unfortunately, that Terminator failed, even when I checked the two kill methods that were not checked by default in the Terminator box.
To be honest !!!
this type of thing never happened to me
does google chrome/other browser stated it was a virus when you downloaded it
if it will be a virus or something harmful google chrome and other browser such as firefox automatically blocks it from downloading
so i recommend you that it is just a normal error that you can ignore ACCORDING TO ME
(i am saying this because i think that you have downlaoded the software from the official website)
you can contanct me if you face any problems
THANKS
It doesn't work on firefox. All pages go through unfiltered, ignored.
I already tried using firefox portable (with new profile), resetting configs, clean install (including using the eset uninstaller), remove every folder that has eset or nod32 in name and every registry entry related to it too. Already tried to add firefox to the protocol filtering rules with "scan" action. Nothing.
But if I rename firefox.exe to anything else (like firefox2.exe) the protocol filtering works. That doesn't make sense.
Any help?
Eset Internet Security 11.2.49.0.
I tried all firefox versions from 56 to 63.0a1.
On portable, the pages just load normally even without the root certificate, bypassing nod32 protocol filtering completelly. If I rename the exe to anything else, then it works, displaying the error of untrust issuer.
I'm not sure how to provide steps.
But I tried making a clean eset and firefox install, making sure all folders/registry entries of them were removed betweeen installs.
What is weird is that it don't work only if the exe name is "firefox.exe". Like if there was a rule marked to "ignore" it. But there is no such rule, as it's a clean install and I even tried adding a rule to force "scan".
Already tried changing SSL filtering mode to "policy". The window asking what to do never shows up, unless I rename the exe. It's like "firefox.exe" specifically is completelly invisible to the protocol filtering.
Haven't tried. Probably no. It's probably something on my current installation. What is weird is that it persist after a clean install of both nod32 and firefox (with registry and installation folders cleanup) and only when the exe is name firefox.exe.
Guess I'll just have to use it with the exe renamed.
Edit: I'm using normal Firefox. I only tried portable to see if it would work on it.
Tried too. Nothing. Setting it to "scan" too, no change. :/
Really weird, it's like there's an invisble rule set to "ignore" for "firefox.exe" (regardless of path) that takes precedence over this.
3) At 01:46 and 02:36 pages load from cache first, then I press CTRL-F5 to update.
I forgot to do this on the recording, but after it I checked and firefox was on the list of ssl/tls filtered applications. I marked it as "scan" and rerun the test with the same results.
I created a rule on SSL filtering for "*/firefox.exe" and marked as scan, and it worked. I removed it, and it keeps working.
I'm almost certain I already tried this before, but now it worked.
I possibly created a rule for "*/firefox.exe" a long time ago and marked as ignore for test purposes, and somehow it turned invisible, and creating this rule again with other value overwrote it.
