Hi! Hope somebody can help me. I just downloaded and installed Firefox Portable into my notebook-- had to resort to the portable app because I need Admin rights to install a software that modifies the registry-- and I dont have admin password. It worked fine when I browsed the intranet, but when I try surfing any websites outside of the intranet, google, or Firefox's default homepage for example, I cant connect and just get timed out. If I try using Internet Explorer, theres no problem with the connection. How should I configure (or whatever) the Firefox Portable app for it to work?
Many thanks!

You probably need to set your proxy server to browse the Net from your company's network.

Download this app and run it. It'll tell you if you need to set one. If you do then just copy the details into FirefoxPortable and you're away.
The ProxyGet app returned-- There is no proxy enabled on this computer....
Help?
Take a look at your connection settings in properties under Internet Explorer to see if there's any custom settings you may need to export to FireFox.
thanks for that advice. i saw that under LAN settings in Internet Explorer, I was using 'automatic script configuration.' i set the same for Firefox and it worked. Thanks a lot!
Glad to know you're up and running all in good time!
with the ProxyGet app.
If i'm using company internet (proxy setup) can they still identify which websites i'm accessing thru firefox? I'm running firefox on a usb drive.
They can monitor all your network activity
