How to clean cookies of portable (!) browser installations?

Recommended Posts

As far as I can see CCLeaner looks into Registry to find browser installations on the current system and apply afterwards e.g. cookie washer.

It works.

BUT what if I setup PORTABLE browser installation (like Firefox ESR or Portable Chrome)?

Since these browser installations do not use Registry CCleaner cannot find them.

How can I tell CCleaner to apply Cookie washing rules onto these portable browser installations as well?

I can imagine that there is an option to enter base pathes of those portable browser installation but cannot find them.

For chrome and opera replace the word firefox with chrome or opera respectively.

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

ok, thank you.

When I read the linked guide it does not become clear what I should specify as path.

Assume I have Firefox ESR then I could specify:

D:\FirefoxESR\Data

or

D:\FirefoxESR\Data\profile

 

A subfolder D:\FirefoxESR\Data\profile\sam

as mentioned as example in the guide does NOT exist.

So what should I write in ccleaner.ini?
