Upgrading to Flash Player 10.1 Final in Portable Firefox

Submitted by honem on June 14, 2010 - 1:04pm

Hi guys I'm kinda new here so if this post belongs in some other forums please move it.

For the last few days I've been trying to find a way to upgrade my Flash Player to 10.1 Final. There's a bad security vulnerability that the update to 10.1 final would help protect me against.

Thought I would make a post about it detailing where to find them , mirrors and how to install them.

Drive contains more the one type of content?

Submitted by PerDeSi on June 11, 2010 - 11:09pm

Hi,

I have installed FFP on usb, works great but when i plug it in, the generic windows box opens and states: "This disk or device contains more than one type of content" "What do you want Windows to do?" then it lists how you can open them (the top one is FFP.exe).

Anyway to disable this? I want FFP to open up automatically to go to a certain site, i don't want this box to show up?

Is there a way to remove Run Locally Dialog box.

Please help me to remove below dialog box when FFP run on a CD-ROM. I need to compile multimedia application with your FFP into a CD-ROM. (I think This dialog box is disturbing users.)

Bug that loses Bookmarks

Submitted by Tony_B on June 9, 2010 - 7:12am

Hi,
I've FireFox set up as my default web browser. When I get an email with a hyperlink, and click that link to open FireFox, when it opens up, I don't see my bookmarks and it doesn't fill in any passwords for me. I have to close and re-open FireFox the normal way to get these.

Cheers,

Tony

Another instance of Firefox is already running

Submitted by ppps on June 9, 2010 - 3:16am

I need to run 2 separate instances of Firefox portable, because I need to login to the same online app with 2 different accounts. I have tried the addon cookiepie to manage per-tab cookies, but it has unbearable side effects.

So I installed 2 instances of firefox portable, but when I launch the 2nd instance, I get this message. What is the work around?

FFP on CD with PDF Support

Submitted by knolle on June 7, 2010 - 12:00pm

Hi folks,

I tried to launch a project on CD with FFP, a HTML-Site as navigation and the corresponding PDF-Files for all the data.

How to I get the FFP to open .pdf in a local (means on CD) portable PDF-Reader such as foxit or sumatra...??

On my PC it works well, but as soon as I switch the computer, it says that it cannot find the path for the supporting program...

Thanks,

Knolle

Bookmarks disappear

Submitted by Airazz on May 31, 2010 - 5:24pm

I have a bunch of bookmarks in Firefox Portable. One of them keeps disappearing. I mean, I connect the USB, launch the software, open Firefox and the link is missing. I add it, it works. But just until I close the Firefox. If I open it, the link is missing again. It kept happening with one particular link (I think it was tinyurl.com website), now it's another perfectly normal, usual link. All other themes and pug-ins work fine. I have plenty of empty space on my USB. What is the problem?
