how to link to portable firefox without save file or folder?

[Ronny]

Hi all,

Ik have bookworm64 on a usb stick and working without a save file/folder. I changed my save folder to a ydrv with NicOS Utility.
But now the link I put on the desktop does not work anymore. FF portable is on another partition on my usb stick.
Is there a way to make the link work?

Thnak you very much
Ronny

did the problem begin when you made the ydrv or later?

FF portable is on another partition on my usb stick

have you added any partitions or devices?

When I worked with a save folder all was perfect. I had links on my desktop to several portabel appsor appimages (FF,Coolreader,KeepassXC).
After I made the ydrv it went wrong. I can access the portables after I mount the partition manually, so it is not that bad.
I will search the forum and try to find a way to mount the partition at startup.
Will let you knowif I could resolve it.

A simple script in /root/Startup should do : (change sdXX to what it is for you)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

PART="sdXX"   ## change sdXX to what it really is, e.g. sdb2

mkdir -p /mnt/$PART
mount /dev/$PART /mnt/$PART

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply.
I did get it right, in Pmount I did tick the box "mount partition at boot" saved and then made a new ydrve.
So this one is solved for me.
Thanks for the help,
