librewolf-portable's Issues

Recommend adding launcher settings file

Currently portable launcher has directory settings hard coded into launcher which makes portable mode be less flexible for the user.

ProgramPath := A_ScriptDir "\LibreWolf"
ExeFile := ProgramPath "\librewolf.exe"
ProfilePath := A_ScriptDir "\Profiles\Default"

Recommend adding settings ini file next to launcher executable which would allow for changes to be made such that program path, executable file, and profile path can be changed. If possible this could allow for passing of launch parameters to be used as well.

This idea was taken from the approach PortableApps has taken for their portable Firefox launcher. The main reason i like this is because i can easily create multiple profiles each with their own settings and extensions and i can just modify the launcher settings file to launch that profile. as needed.

Example:

LibreWolfDirectory=LibreWolf
ProfileDirectory=Profile\Default
LaunchParameters=-no-remote

Chrlauncher also has a similar approach for portable chrome with its respective settings file.

I'm not sure if this is possible but maybe a launch flag could be added to the LibreWolf launcher that allows for it to read a specific settings file within the directly, that way if people want to make custom shortcuts that launch specific profiles then it would be possible like so:

"LibreWolf-Portable.exe" -LibreWolf-Portable.ini (Default)
"LibreWolf-Portable.exe" -LibreWolf-Portable-Tor.ini (settings file modified to specifically launch a tor profile)

The librewolf folder in AppData remains on the system

I use the Release v111.0.1-1 from https://librewolf.net.

The "librewolf" folder in "AppData\Roaming" doesn't get deleted after I close the browser and even if I delete it manually it gets regenerated after opening the browser again. However, deleting it manually also breaks the profile selection in about:profiles (probably due to profiles.ini being reset).

I quickly looked over the LibreWolf-Portable.ahk in this repo and noticed that Line 254 says "; Remove AppData and Temp folders if empty" and the code below that seems to do just that according to autohotkey docs. This appears to be the root of the problem (it only deleting empty folders, not folders with files).

I assume that it wouldn't be too troublesome (unless you implement file shredding) to just move important files from AppData such as profiles.ini into the main librewolf folder on browser shut down and back into AppData before browser launch.
This would also help with portability, especially if it's combined with a method that would change the paths in profiles.ini and installs.ini to the drive the browser was launched from. The same could be done with paths in extensions.json of each profile as well.

Default profile launching after checking for updates with LibreWolf-WinUpdater

Appears default profile is launched even though a custom profile was specified at launch specifically when LibreWolf-WinUpdater is run prior to launching LibreWolf-Portable. In subsequent runs when the updater is not run to check for updates, the custom profile launches like normal.

Appears LibreWolf-WinUpdater does not receive "-P" parameter from launcher and pass on after check for update. I was able to reproduce this effect consistently by deleting LibreWolf-WinUpdater.ini and launching a custom profile, only to have default open after update check.

VirusTotal Flags as Malicious

Would love to use this but 2 virus toltal scanners flag this as malware. Could be a false positive and if you could let me know your thoughts if this is a false positive or some verification that this is safe it would be great.

I can't read code so I can't really tell if it is or not.

how to create shortcuts for batch files?

LibreWolf Custom Profile #1.cmd

LibreWolf-Portable.exe updated by the LibreWolf Team

Hi, since I noticed that the "LibreWolf-Portable.exe" executable present in the official downloads by LibreWolf differs in version, I wanted to ask if this project is still under development and whether the changes made by the LibreWolf team they are really useful. Thank you.

Can't set Registry Key NativeMessagingHosts

For the extension ff2mpv, I need to set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LibreWolf\NativeMessagingHosts. Due to how this launcher is set up, it doesn't seem I can do this. If I set this key while LibreWolf is running, it's ignored. If I close it and set the key, then relaunch librewolf, the key is just moved into LibreWolf.pbak, it isn't present in LibreWolf.
Please allow setting/persisting this registry key somehow. It seems to be the only way to adjust Native messaging hosts on Windows.

EDIT: Disregard, the path seems to be hardcoded to HCU\Software\Mozilla even for LibreWolf.

Librewolf Portable still shows after delete the file.

How to hide the tray icon?

To make the tray more concise, is there any parameter to hide the tray icon?

Question: How to pin to taskbar?

Hi! This is an excellent utility (as well as your Updater, and also I used to be a big user of your Redshift Tray which is also awesome).

This is a question/feature request -- is it possible to pin the Portable launcher to the taskbar somehow? It seems that if you attempt to do this, clicking the pinned entry will instantiate a new Librewolf instance. Trying to pin the instance however creates a shortcut straight to the librewolf.exe, which, will not load the Default profile in the Portable install. Wondering if you know of any workarounds for this.

saved as librewolf.bat for example in the same path where librewolf-portable.exe is.

Running this as Admin, makes it possible to set Librewolf Portable as standard app (Windows 10 and latest 11 tested).

Got the Idea from: https://github.com/henrypp/chrlauncher/blob/master/bin/SetDefaultBrowser.bat

Pin from taskbar

Is changing profile settings for the pinned App a feature or a bug?
