Add-on FastestFox - endless pagesSubmitted by Q Mark on November 19, 2009 - 10:46pm
I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 on win xp. I tried uninstall then install w/both restarting browser & pc as well as restart Firefox after clearing the cache. Nothing happened, it is still not working. Could there be something wrong with my Firefox profile. Any ideas of how I could go about finding out what's wrong with my firefox profile if it is that? Any ideas of what is going on at all?

FF 3.6 betas not useful.Submitted by wvJotyV8O8N43X8DMXpN on November 19, 2009 - 11:41am
I'm sorry to say this but the 3.6 beta series of FF is a disaster. None of the three of them are working properly. It is flooding with chrome errors even if all extensions are disabled. And furthermore it keeps constantly messing around with extensions.ini. 9 out of 10 times it doesn't recognize the path properly and then I have to set it manually in that file. ( categories: )
Update bug - why does it update when updating is turned off?Submitted by don gilcrease on November 18, 2009 - 12:16am
This may be addressed elsewhere in this forum, but I do not have the time or inclination to go through the forum to find it, so here is my problem: I have version 3.5.3 installed, and the update options all unchecked in Options > Adanced > Update. Do not assume I do not have the options unchecked, as I absolutely do. However, Firefox continues to update itself, as well as the addons, and can't seem to update itself correctly. ( categories: )
FAQ - PrivacySubmitted by port_user on November 14, 2009 - 10:15pm
"All your cookies and other data is self-contained on your portable device" - where exactly are cookies located on the portable device? Suppose we did not choose the option 'delete cookies when Firefox exits," then where to go to manually remove them? Also, what about the temporary files open in the portable Firefox? Are they save on the portable device (where?), or in the System's Local Settings folder, or not saved at all? Thanks ( categories: )

Addon Bork: Recovery?Submitted by seremina on November 9, 2009 - 7:12pm
I was trying out 3 new addons and when I restarted Firefox Portable, it crashed. I tried launching it again. Crashed. I can normally solve things on my own, but this one has me stumped. There's no Safe Mode in Portable Firefox (or I can't find it), so I can't figure out which addon is borking it. What do I do? ( categories: )
