Hey, I was wondering if there was any way or possibility to bind an IP or network device to Librewolf running in its Portable launcher on Windows. I have it on a USB key to be used in environments where I’ll be working with multiple computers, hence the portable nature, and in surveillanced networks, hence my preference to use my own hotspot and have Librewolf prefer it over the system network. I’ve tried “ForceBindIP”, and while it works for Firefox, it doesn’t function on Librewolf Portable, at least from what I tried.

Thanks in advance; hopefully my needs aren’t unclear.

    I’ve found a janky workaround using ForceBindIP.

    .\ForceBindIP64.exe 192.168.128.1 .\LibreWolf\librewolf.exe -profile Profiles\Default

    This bypasses Librewolf Portable entirely, launching the browser executable itself and manually specifying the profile path so that we don’t leave a trace in the AppData folder and actually make the data “portable”. For this to actually work, you have to go in about:config and set browser.launcherProcess.enabled to false so that ForceBindIP actually binds.

    Support for this could definitely be implemented within the Portable launcher, but I’m not putting my hopes up.
