Pidgin Portable

I know there was a last-year thread about this, but I can't get around it:

I have set my XP default browser to Firefox portable using the DefaultBrowser utility. For example, at the Windows Run dialog, entering "http://www.google.com" opens a new tab in FF Portable. FF Portable is running (and registered through DefaultBrowser) from a local drive (not usb thumb etc...).

Still, clicking on links in Pidgin Portable's chat windows, IE opens up....

How can I force Pidgin Portable to run system's default browser, or at least set it to run a specific one?

Any help appreciated

I wanted to have Pidgin in my language. So I downloaded all languages packs and then deleted languages I didn't need. But when I run Pidgin it is still in English. The advise how to set a certain language didn't help me:

"head to PidginPortable\Data\settings directory and open up PidginPortableSettings.ini. In there, set PidginLANG equal to the language you wish to use..."

Because I have nothing in the Data folder...

Can you help me, please?

excuse me kind sirs but i do believe encryption plugins, or at least OTR should be installed by default

tor browser has those plugins pre-installed so why dont cha step ya game up

I upgraded to pidgin 2.6.3 from 2.5 and suddenly found half of my yahoo contacts are no longer on the server list. What is going on? And some of the deleted contacts were just online an hour ago

I have a suggested change for the Pidgin Portable installer. Can the installer be modified not to remove non-pidgin related assemblies? The Facebook plug-in requires libjson-glib-1.0.dll which gets removed during the upgrade process.

Thanks

I request developers that it should have two more features
1}have feature to log in http://iptel.org sip account with soft-phone sip dialer.
2}it should work on various type of mobile handsets.

If anyone has version 3 of the Lazybums plugin for Pidgin it would be greatly appreciated if you could e-mail me a copy.

Thanks,

Paul.

Update: Found it. If anyone else is looking for it you can pull it from me:

The two best Instant Messengers out there are Miranda and Pidgin. Miranda with a ton of plugins allows you to manipulate just about everything, you name it you can do it in Miranda but this level of complexity is more suited for those who love to tinker.

Then there is Pidgin, Pidgin take a no frills approach to it's instant messenger, staying ahead of the rest(in my opinion) of the other universal IM's in the way of protocols and stability, this basic approach is more for the "Set it and Forget it" crowd that is not interested in pushing the envelope of tweaking the application.

I'm behind company firewall. If I install Pidgin and set proxy, I can login Gtalk account.
But if I use Pidgin Portable and set proxy, I cannot login Gtalk account. The same proxy setting works on Pidgin does not work for Pidgin portable.
And it's more funny that, I can use Pidgin portable to login my yahoo and MSN accounts. The only thing that does not work for Pidgin Portable is Gtalk.
Any suggestion? Thanks!
