06:35:13 <raccccoon> I keep a Portable folder on my USB and harddrives that I regularly cross sync. That said, I'd like to know how to make using Firefox portable convenient, including start menu shortcuts and pin to taskbar
06:35:35 <raccccoon> It seems if I do either of these things, it doesn't start Firefox in portable mode, but creates a new, local, profile.
06:37:04 <raccccoon> What can I do to make my firefox profile ubiquitous for private syncing?
07:39:06 <oliverkrystal> raccccoon, you have to pin the launcher to the start menu, not the firefox executable.
07:39:38 <oliverkrystal> so, X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe is what you need to launch
07:40:03 <oliverkrystal> when you pin firefox to the menu, it will pin the X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\bin\firefox.exe
07:41:29 <raccccoon> hmm
07:42:14 <raccccoon> I figured the launcher kept process parent throughout execution, so it should pin that parent
07:55:02 <oliverkrystal> it may with windows 10, it was an issue when windows 7 came out. I'm a linux abuser now so I'm working off memory ... there should be a way to check what it shortcuts to right?
07:57:43 <oliverkrystal> the best way would be to pin the launcher and then run that

16:27:39 <pa_0859> Hi. I can't set a portable app as the default application to open a file (eg a jpg with XnView. Are there any suggestions? Thanks!
