Hi Guys,
I like to know how Firefox portable is different from a firefox that built and installed in a Flash
I built firefox(1.5.0.1) for ppc-linux and installed in my compact flash drive. Now I mount that flash on another machine as readonly media and execute.
I do have problem like 3 instances of forefox-bins are created and it hangs forever.
.mozilla folder is created in .root and have no issue with that.
How does the portable firefox different. do you need to do anything extra to make it work??
Regards,
Ravi

you are posting in FileZilla
the only thing these two programs have in common is they both begin with a "F"
FileZilla is a FTP client
now maybe post in a development area ?
the firefox here works on windows system
and it appears to this non programmer he did a lot of work to get it to run only on the thumb drive
Firefox Portable is designed to just be extracted anywhere you'd like and run. Just run FirefoxPortable.exe and everything else is handled. Firefox and all your data are entirely contained within the FirefoxPortable directory. It keeps your profile within the Data\profile directory and tells FF where to find it. It resets your component registry so Firefox won't hang when you switch drive letters. It'll even let you use a homepage on your portable device if you want to.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Haller,
Please eloborate "It resets your component registry so Firefox won't hang when you switch drive letters"
normal FF would create the xpti.dat in user/.mozilla/firefox/****.default/xpti.dat when it fails to create in ../firefox../components/
Doesn`t normal FF know where to look for xpti.dat in such case?
Actually, I meant the compreg.dat in your profile directory. It needs to be deleted when the path changes or Firefox may fail to start.
