You should have said that in the first place.

what is the diagnostic procedure to find what's wrong?

Much the same, but remember one important thing;
Firefox Portable is not made by Mozilla.
See if this link can help. If not, contact Firefox Portable support.

Fred, are the instructions to perform the 'new-profile check' the same for portable firefox? or they are different? is the way to create a new profile the same?

  • I cannot install addons with 4.0b12!

    I've been trying to install Stylish from addons.mozilla.org for the last few hours and after clicking the link I am asked to restart as usual. However upon restarting the addon is not there and it's as though I have not done anything at all. I've tried installing from a file as well and the same issue occurs.
    I emailed the developer about this and he suggested it might be a problem with firefox and upon further inspection I don't seem to be able to install any addons. I've been through the 'unable to install addons' FAQ and it has not proved helpful as all of my about:config settings are as they should be and I also tried deleting extensions.ini/rdf (could not find .cache) in my user profiles folder.
    Can someone please tell me what might be going on? It's driving me crazy. Note: this also appears to be happening on 3.6.14, which is still installed.

    I figured it out. When I was using firefox 3.x I'd installed an addon called Memory Fox to cut down on ram usage as it would habitually creep up to 1GB+ during the course of a day, well when I installed 4.0b12 I deleted the addon, but not the external application that runs in the background. I noticed it was still running, ended it via the task manager, and now everything works and I can install addons again!
    I am glad I don't need to create a new profile as that's a royal pain :X

  • Since installing Firefox 4 I cannot install addons - help needed with new browser please

    Have tried to install add-ons, and whilst they appear to have installed nothing is added to the tools add-ons button.

    This can be caused if one of the files that stores details of installed extensions is corrupt.
    # Open your profile folder, for details of how to find it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
    # Close Firefox
    # Delete the following files if they exist, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini and extensions.sqlite
    # Re-start Firefox, it will then rebuild the list on installed extensions

  • Cannot uninstall addons, addon mager button opens web page but not manager

    why I cannot uninstall addons, tools-manage addons opens webpage to get more addons, not addon manager.
    (Firefox has lately really become less responsive and more stupid this is only an example maybe I need to switch to chrome?)

    The page that opens is just the first in a row of pages, you can tab through using left and right buttons in the top left corner (see below). Press Right once, and you will get to the page, where your installed add-ons are listed.

  • I cannot use addons from Delicious because Firefox is not compattable with add-ons from Delicious. Wat to do?

    I try to install AddOns from Delicious but Delicious bookmarks cannot be installed because it is not compattible with this version of Firefox (4.1)
    What to do?

    Firefox 4.0.1 has been an unsafe browser since the release of Firefox 5. So please don't use it.
    Real hasn't made Real Player Browser Plugin compatible with Firefox 5.

  • Firefox will not install addons

    After getting a new computer and installing Firefox 12 on it, Firefox will not install addons. The only way that I can get it to install anything is by downloading the .xpi file and manually installing it. Unfortunately, I cannot download the .xpi file to one of the addons that I need to do my work, so this is a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Satellite Z930-14F - cannot install Win 8.1 from SCCM 2012 R2 environment

    Dear all,
    Sattelite Z series laptops cannot install OS (win 8.1) from our SCCM 2012 R2 environment.
    Either no installation is starting, or pxe boot aborted error is showed.
    The environment is used to successfully install OS (win 8.1) on different other vendor computers (dell) and virtual machines (hyper-v and vmware).
    I've tried both UEFI and CMS boot options and tried to switch off the secure boot. Please advice.
    Also, i've read about the "SCCM installation package for Toshiba". Will it help in my situation or is it just driver packages for SCCM?
    Best Regards, Evgeny.

    I guess you are speaking about this Toshiba package:
    http://www.toshiba.eu/services/on-demand/business-computing/sdp120gs-v/
    I dont have much experience using such SCCM drive package but it definitely compatible with the Toshiba business notebooks. The Satellite / Portege Z930 belong to the business range and I think the package should be compatible.
    This package seems to be for all IT administrators who manage devices on the corporate network with SCCM 2012 R2. Toshiba offers with the new Toshiba SCCM package a solution to integrate other notebook into an existing IT infrastructure quickly and smoothly and all Toshiba Driver and application packages and a demonstration task sequence are integrated.
    However, it seems that you could get more details about this package directly from Toshiba [email protected]
    By the way: The Win 8.1 installation requires the UEFI mode (in case the UEFI BIOS is available). But booting from another, external source requires the disabled secure boot option.
    So maybe you should use the UEFI mode but should disable the secure boot option in order to boot from LAN.

  • Cannot install windows, starting to get really pissed off with this PLEASE HELP

    ok, i'm starting to get agitated with this.
    i cannot install windows XP, 2003, OR Longhorn on my machine.
    right now, i have the following setup:
    msi 865pe neo2 motherboard
    intel p4 3.2ghz w/HT (factory HS/Fan currently)
    1 dimm of PC3200 crucial DDR400
    30GB maxtor HD plugged into primary IDE

    antec true blue 480wt PSU
    i do the following:
    format with maxtor cd
    boot from OS cd
    start setup, reboot, continue
    the farthest i can get is 'registering components/completing installation' i either get a blue screen stop error which isnt the same everytime, or it just locks up and doesnt do anything.
    ran the memtest checker and get errors on test #4
    i had a DIMM of kingston that gave the same errors, so i RMA'd it and got another. same errors, so i RMA'd again and got a Crucial stick. same errors.
    so i RMA'd the motherboard since i figured it had to be that. and it improved from the problems i had earlier. (the problems i had before were worse before.)

    yea, i dont plan to run the 250. im gonna wait for the new 480.
    thanks for the info about ram timings as well. i havnt gotten any solid answers about what to set it to.
    even with new mobo and ram, i'm getting errors in memtest86 #4 test as i always have. i've tried different slots with same problems.
    i only have one module because i dont want to waste anymore money on a non-working system. once i get it up and running i'll add another 512.

  • Cannot install Windows 8.1 via Boot Camp on MBPr 13" Early 2013; tried almost everything.

    Hi guys,
    yesterday, I decided to install Windows 8.1 on my Mac using Boot Camp. I tried to install it, but the first attempt ended into booting to the screen, where it says "Cannot find any bootable device" or something like that. So I googled it up and then tried the EFI Boot. The EFI Boot booted into the Windows installation properly, but I cannot choose the partition I want to install it on. I tried partitioning it in Disk Utility using Tuxera to NTFS, I tried formatting it in the installation itself, always restarted between the processes, I tried to delete the partition and create a new one in the installation, but no luck. I am still stuck on the error "Cannot install Windows on MBR partition. Please, choose a GPT partition". I have a 256GB SSD disk. I browsed the problems and solutions for 3 hours, but no luck. None of the solution helps. The only solution that would work I guess is if I don’t boot into EFI, but into the BIOS installation. But when I do that, I get the "Cannot find any bootable device", so a dead end here. I also tried the tips where they say to remove the USB stick when the Windows installation starts, but didn’t help either.
    I am installing using a bootable USB drive, I do not have a Superdrive and cannot even lend it or something like that.
    I am really desperate, can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    DavidKop_

    Some people have been successful installing 8.1 (me, for instance) despite it not being supported. However this seems to be hardware dependent.
    I would have expected the normal WININSTALL option to be available on a Bootcamp-created USB, not just the EFI boot option.
    It really depends on whether Bootcamp is creating a hybrid MBR when it creates the Bootcamp partition. Some later model Macs do not. On the Macs that do not create the hybrid MBR Windows may install in EFI mode.
    If you remove everything and stretch the Macintosh HD back to the full size of the disc again then reboot and when the system restarts begin the Bootcamp installation again but do not let it restart at that time, you can then run the following code in the terminal and report its output we will be able to see if a hybrid MBR has been created (this is after the partition has been created by Bootcamp, but before it reboots).
    sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

  • After IOS 8 update, cannot install or update app

    As my subject mentioned, after the ios 8 update, i cannot install or update app.  I have done everything like calling the tech support, follow their instructions etc.. Some of the things i had done were
    Soft reset ipad
    Hard reset ipad
    logout of itune store and login
    delete everything on ipad and restore from itunes.
    All these doesn't work and the problem keeps coming back again.  This is frustrating that Apple would release an update like this that would break my ipad air. On top of that, quite a lot of app are not working eg zinio, evernote.  My ipad air has been in this mode eversince the update release and i had mostly given up to resolve it.  For all other ipad owners, if you want to avoid this anguish don't update to ios 8. 

    You are not alone. Here's one thread
    Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
    If you have the WSJ app installed, delete it and see if that fixes things. It immediately fixed it for me, but not for all people with the problem.
