Pale Moon on Network Drive

I want to allow multiple users to access Pale Moon. The plan is to put the Portable version on a network drive.
PC's here are locked down so the users can not install anything themselves.

I quickly found that with the default config, if I open the browser on my PC and login to a web site and then have someone else open the same web site on their PC, they find themselves logged in as me.

I notice there is a ini settings file. Is there something I can change in there to force the application to store session/security/cookies data to their My Documents folder.

Thanks

You should not use the portable browser, because by its very nature it will store the profile on the network drive along with the browser (which is not what you want since it'll be shared, as you noticed).

You can use the zip-packed version, unpack it on the network drive, and this will store user profiles on the individual workstations (in application data).

If you need more advanced use, like storing the profiles on a network drive as well in a specific path, then you can start Pale Moon for the users with:

Code: Select all

palemoon.exe -profile "%PROFILE_PATH%"
Where %PROFILE_PATH% is an environment variable that you can set depending on user login.
