Hello guys,

Mozilla Portable Edition stopped working out of the blue, from my USB stick and the PC I am usually working from (I installed it on the PC to test it). I write any website in the URL section and nothing happens, it's a blank page. I tested the USB with the Portable Edition on another PC and it's working fine. I have installed Mozilla Firefox (not Portable) on the PC with the problem and it's working fine. I have tried all the solutions from the support forum, nothing helped. I restored Windows 10 to an earlier point, the problem persists. Any ideas?

Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
  • Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}
