#FIREFOX PROFILE MANAGER WILL NOT OPEN INSTALL#
So now I have 6 copies of all the binaries, and must maintain and update every single "profile"? That's an ugly solution, and defeats the whole purpose of being able to just have one single portable install that I can use everywhere.Īt the very least, would it be possible to add a command line switch so that I can specify a profile folder to load from? Even if the Profile Manager is not included, it would allow for alternate profiles already created to be easily loaded. If you want to restore your settings uncheck the box. When your work demands that you need to open the browser for a longer time and with multiple tabs opened, then you can configure the session restore to avoid freezing in the future. When it does not respond at all, try restarting the browser. I do not think copying over a whole folder structure for each profile I want is a good solution. If updating Firefox on Ubuntu does not get rid of the error, there is another way: creating a new Firefox profile and logging into Firefox Sync to download. If you left the Firefox browser open for a long time, it may have been idled and it takes a while before it will respond. This should work just fine for making new profiles on a USB stick or anywhere else a folder can be created. The Profile Manager allows the users to create a new profile in any directory they choose. One thing I don't get is why the Profile Manager was removed from Firefox? It pretty much makes the portable version useless for me, since I have several profiles that I am using throughout the day depending on what I am doing. Generate a new firefox profile by starting the ff profile manager (dos prompt: ff. I really dig the portable apps on here, with no dependency on registry or windows system folders, any of that junk.
