how to use FF.au3 in Firefox Portable

[supperfake]

I wonder how to use FF.au3 in Firefox Portable. Do you know how to do that? 

[Danp2]

It shouldn't matter whether you are using a regular or portable version of Firefox as long as the MozRepl plugin is installed and running.

What version of FF are you running where MozRepl is still supported?

I use firefox 55.0.2 (64bit)

So What version firefox should I use ? 

Thank you

How about explaining what you have tried, and what isn't working for you, rather than the more general "will this work"?

[Danp2]

I think the last Firefox version that supports MozRepl is 54.x. If you want to use a more recent version, then you should check out the WebDriver UDF (see my signature).

I tried using firefox 52 and 50. But the _FFStart function does not automatically open a website like IECreate. Why it does not work? Was this function broken?

No way to know why it isn't working with the limited information you've given us. At a minimum --

• Show us your code
• Show us the contents of the output panel after running your code in Scite

Sorry,

Im using firefox portable 50.0 

My simple code is :

#Include <ff.au3>
 _FFStart("http://abc.com")

Then it show me error as follows:

__FFStartProcess ==> General Error: Error reading registry entry for FireFox.

I see the problem in ff.au3 

Func __FFStartProcess($sURL = "about:blank", $bNewWin = False, $sProfile = "default", $bNoRemote = False, $bHide = False, $iPort = 4242, $iTimeOut = 30000)
    Local Const $sFuncName = "__FFStartProcess"
        Local $PID = -1
    Local $sNoRemote = "", $sNewWin
    Local $sProcName = $_FF_PROC_NAME
        If $sProfile = "default" Then
        $sProfile = ''
    Else
        $sProfile = ' -P "' & $sProfile & '"'
    EndIf
    If $bNoRemote Then $sNoRemote = "-no-remote"
    If $bNewWin Then $sNewWin = "-new-window"
    $sURL = '"' & $sURL & '"'
    If $iTimeOut < 2000 Then $iTimeOut = 2000
    
    Local $sHKLM = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\'
       If @OSArch <> 'X86' Then $sHKLM &= 'Wow6432Node\'
       $sHKLM &= 'Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox'
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Local $sFFExe = RegRead($sHKLM & "\" & RegRead($sHKLM, "CurrentVersion") & "\Main", "PathToExe")
       If @error Then
       SetError(__FFError($sFuncName, $_FF_ERROR_GeneralError, "Error reading registry entry for FireFox." & @CRLF & _
        $sHKLM&"\*CurrentVersion*\Main\PathToExe" & @CRLF & _
        "Error from RegRead: " & @error))
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Return 0
       EndIf

I use firefox portable . So  it show err "Error reading registry entry for FireFox". What do I need to do to resolve it??

Use the Run command to launch FF manually and then change your your _FFStart command to this --

_FFStart("http://abc.com", Default, 0)

 I run your code. But nothing happens. And no error show in contents of the output panel after running your code. Maybe I should use  WebDriver instead of firefox.au3. Thank you
