1494521 - Unable to install Firefox Portable Nightly on non-boot drive

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Christopher Kidwell]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0
Build ID: 20180926220146

Steps to reproduce:

Install Firefox Portable Nightly on my second hard drive, i.e. D:\ drive instead of C:\ drive.


Actual results:

When I went to start Firefox Nightly Portable it got caught in a recursive loop where the browser kept on trying to start and crashing until I manually signed out of Windows 10.

This issue is not present when installing Firefox Portable Nightly on the Windows boot drive in the Desktop directory.


Expected results:

Firefox should have opened and been able to be used normally from my second hard drive.

This issue is not present when installing Firefox Portable Nightly on the Windows boot drive in the Desktop directory. This issue is present when installing Firefox Portable Nightly on any drive other the Windows boot drive, i.e. I have tried on USB sticks, external hard drive, etc. and they all have this issue.

Firefox portable is not made by Mozilla. Please contact the creator of that Firefox version about this problem.
Please reopen this report if you also get this problem when you get this with a normal Firefox build from Mozilla.org
