Power Automate and Firefox Portable

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Andrea1992 8

Hi Everyone!

I have a simple question: I have a portable version of Firefox ESR located in C:\***FirefoxESR and I could install properly the Firefox Extension for Power Automate. Even if I made this passage I cannot control the browser in the folder above indicated.

 

Is there any possibility to do it?

 

Thanks in advance,

Andrea

    Hi @Andrea1992 

    You can try:

    1. Use launch application from the system actions group

    2. Use launch firefox browser action and configure it to attach running instance

    I tried this, but I cannot "get" the instance launched: any hint about this "road" to follow?

     

    Consider that Power Automate starts correctly the portable app, but after it says that it cannot get communication with Firefox.
