Firefox portables

[miketyson]

Does anybody know the best way to know for sure that the previous ff is shut down before moving to the next? I've tried task manager and it shows shut down when I close out. But I use cc cleaner to make sure it's shut down. When it cleans IE or whatever browser not used for stealth sometimes it says ff is open and force closes it.

imo, MM78 would be the go to guy for this baby.


In the ebay/paypal forums there are/were posts on Firefox portables.


After I drink more coffee I will dig Up a small selection for you.

MM78 is quite savvy on this - I only use the task manager way as well

[easy.bake.oven]

make yourself a small .exe programme that kills firefox.exe or a longer way is use task manager and in the details tab, manually look for all firefox.exe instances and end the task(s).

Can also do the same for any browser.

Personally, I like the make and .exe program option, much faster.

Wrong. Other newbies may not know much about Firefox portable.

At least they get to see info.

Copy the code below and paste it in Notepad and save it as .bat file. Microsoft changed their policy on running batch files so you need to right click and run this as Admin to make it work. If you want to add programs to kill, just add /im [program name]. Hope this helps. Tested it on Windows 10 and Windows 7 today. Edit the code as you see fit.

@echo off

taskkill /f /im firefox.exe /im chrome.exe /im iexplore.exe


exit

THANKS. Can beat the DOS coding.
It works faster than the .exe program I made, so now I am using your code

For my own setup, I have modified your taskkill line so that it occures 3 times just to make sure all instances are closed as in the past, for some odd reason, some instances are still active in the task manager.

Also, in CCleaner business addition, there is some nice extra options and one if the is that you can enable a small popup that auto disappears to let you know the browser is cleaned and it only kicks in if all instances of that browser are closed/killed, so this helps as a visual confirmation that all is good - this is for my setup though so that option in CCleaner might not be suitable for your needs.

Yup, set up CCleaner to auto clean after browser closes and you are all set.
