Installed PortableApps first no connection with FF3.5 yet Submitted by Mr_Red on July 6, 2009 - 9:44am
Memory Stick on public Library PC's Do I un-install PA and re-install after FF? Otherwise it defaults to IE on the OS - which is probably a screwed-down version of IE6 (remotely). ie6 clags in the net-nanny (read surveillance and security - it is what it is) ( categories: )

Won't default
Portable Firefox won't take over as a system's default browser; if it's an installed Firefox, it'll stay that way; likewise, if it's IE, it'll stay IE. You should be able to launch Firefox from the PortableApps.com Platform menu.
Also Portable Firefox is not intended to get around Net Nanny type applications; be warned that using it to do so could result in suspension or termination of privileges, often depending on the content you're accessing.

net nanny is what it is, not
net nanny is what it is, not being got round. FF is so much faster because it is operating locally not remotely. The speed is a real issue when accessing Multimap and webmail pages, lost packets arrive anything up to an hour late and lock-up IE. At that latency they are, to all intents and purposes, lost. FF does not suffer from this. And can operate while Multimap loads - not the quickest but in FF3.5 good enough.
I don't see PortableApps recording my browser history which is the only function I would find use for. My HTML page is "my favourites" and better than.
FWIW running their IE6 from VBA in Excel to collect & process 14 day TV schedule data seems to exhibit no problems. (IE was chosen because in VBA the browser variable properies/attributes are better documented).
