Cyberfox Portable & AdGuard

[Deleted member 2913]

I use latest Cyberfox Portable & AdGuard. I am trying AdGuard now.

I get connection not secure. I added Cyberfox Portable executable in AdGuard but still same prob.

Vivaldi Portable works fine with AdGuard by default.

Firefox installed works fine with AdGuard by default.

Why not Cyberfox Portable & not even after added in AdGuard?

I think that @avatar could help but in my opinion you should first try to reinstall the Adguard certificate via General Settings:

Why to reinstall certs if every other things are running fine?

 

[enaph]

Because I think that Adguard's certificate isn't installed in Cyberfox certificates store.

I dont know much about certs install.

But how AdGuard certs reinstall will install certs in Portable Cyberfox?

For Firefox, Cyberfox, etc you have to do it manually... reinstalling certificate has never help me one single bit.

Go to Options, then to Advanced (tab), Certificates (tab on page), then "View Certificates", Import.

You want to import the Adguard certificate from C:\ProgramData\Adguard\NetworkTemp\SSL

I'd assume since Cyberfox has the same interface/setting. Those instructions were on a Adguard help page if I remember correctly. It should completely fix any problems.

So when I will delete Cyberfox Portable folder then those AdGuard certs will go away too, right?

Do not have any experience with portable browsers. Searched it up and apparently Firefox and similar browser store certificate in a file called cert8.db inside of the profile folder. If the portable version stores all of it's profiles inside the same folder, it should disappear if you delete the portable browser folder.

And do certs update? And so will have to import the updated certs again (if certs do update), right?

There is a Profile folder & cert8 file in Cyberfox Portable folder, this means AdGuard certs will be removed on Cyberfox Portable folder removal, right?

I would imagine so. Since it was manually installed. And being that it is inside another archive file, Adguard probably can't see it. I never even thought about that until you mentioned it. Glad you brought it up.

And attached is the screenshot, what all should I check or simply click ok?

You should only need the identify websites option however I personally checked all 3 just in case. I'm no expert on this subject and have had no problems when all 3 were checked.

As for removal, yes, if the folder is deleted, Cyberfox, Firefox, etc will no longer have Adguard's certificate if you would use this in the future. On my computer and several family computers, Adguard was never able to insert its certificate no matter what I did. On browsers like Chrome, IE, Edge, etc, I would imagine they rely on Windows certificate stores which would mean a manual uninstall would be needed. Adguard may also remove it upon uninstallation like Kaspersky does.

In fact you can also manually uninstall Adguard certificate by going to the same menu but instead of selecting Import, you'd just scroll through the list, click the Adguard certificate and remove. I used this method on both Adguard and Kaspersky. Kaspersky also was unable to install the certificate in Firefox. Not sure what goes on with it.

Also sorry for the late reply. Was a little busy.

My Firefox installed version works fine with AdGuard by default.

Thanxx for the info & your time.

I guess Adguard and Kaspersky (and many others) just hate cooperating with me on Firefox. lol In the end they work fine so no big deal. Glad I was able to help.

You run FF 32 or 64?

As Firefox installed works with AdGuard by default. I checked AdGuard certs in Firefox. Highlighted AdGuard certs & selected Edit Trust, only website option is selected by default.

So I have only selected website option in Cyberfox Portable too.

I use 64bit all around. I've also tried getting Adguard to work by default under 32bit browsers gecko browsers. Doesn't work either way. I've ruled out all options excluding running a 32bit OS (which would be dumb with 10GB of RAM).
