[Guide] How to run UNLIMITED Portable Firefox under 1 user account

empirestate · #1 06-23-2017

Download and extract FirefoxPortable.exe

Click "finish" and don't run it yet

Go to the root folder and click "Other" folder

Click inside "Source" folder

Cut/Move FirefoxPortable.ini file to the root folder

Open/Edit file with a text editor like Notepad, and change the highlighted value to "true" and save.

Do this for every folder of FirefoxPortable so you can run them
simultaneously or on SAME USER ACCOUNT without sharing ANY BROWSER DATA.

Change your IP accordingly for your designated account.

Nice guide, thanks, EmpireState.

Can you advise on the IP changing? Where to acquire such IP's? Could you use 24vc for example or does it have to be a proxy IP?

empirestate · #3 06-24-2017

Proxies work but you have to pick a good provider who is not abused. VPNs work also as long as you switch to designated IP for designated account. Again, the trick is to find a non-abused provider.

Really good guide! Cheers

I always just used to manually turn off things like Flash Cookies but by the looks of it this done it all in one go

No need on portable Firefox, everything will be kept inside the folder.

JamesNorth101 · #8 06-29-2017

Afraid I found out the hard way that flash cookies did get shared between portable browsers when I was experimenting with them 2 or so years ago. Perhaps that has changed in the intermitten time

Hi JamesNorth101

Does it share between non portable firefox browser?

empirestate · #10 06-30-2017

No they don't, this is coming from who did rigorous testing. Follow the steps outline above.

It wont no

I only ever had an issue with it sharing between other Portable Firefox Browsers. As soon as I turned off flash cookies it wasn't an issue anymore. Its a very simple fix.

i am using multiple windows accounts. i think firefox doesn't mix any accounts cookies or any other firefox objects, right?

You are correct, they do not.

Anything similar for Macbook users? Does Firefox Portable even work for Macbook?

They wont share information between user accounts, but if your using separate user accounts you don't really need a portable browser

NO, Portable Firefox is not yet supported in Macs, at least not that I know of...
You can try a virtualization software or Bootcamp to install Windows on. Possibilities are endless.

So just to be clear, I am meant to download 4 Firefox Portable for 4 different Paypal accounts or what?

Create a folder for each account you are planning to make, drag the installer there and extract, rinse and repeat. Download the installer once, but extract it on each folder. Follow the guide for dummies above.

BaggaDonuts · #19 07-11-2017

Do you just disable the flash cookies in the main portable before you start cloning the folder?

If you've already been running accounts on multiple user accounts on Chrome, is it possible/feasible to transfer over the cookies.. or just take your chances with the fresh portable?

Because I gotta say, it does make you nearly 100% certain you're operating right when using user accounts.. but for more than a few accounts its tedious as hell to keep up with. Especially with using a mifi.

The difference now is that you can open several FF portable at the same time now right? Previously, you cannot use 2 or more FF portable at the same time, but you had to close one, then open another correct?

Correct, with my method mentioned above, you can open them all and run them simultaneously without sharing browser data. Make sure each one has Dedicated IP.

Do you need to run the installer for each one, or can you just copy the blank FF portable installation to different directories for new users/accounts? I'm just thinking that would be a good way to keep the base settings intact vs having to re-do them for each install. But I'm not sure if there is an issue with copying to a new folder vs installing to each?
