Firefox Portable

Firefox portable startup crashes on winxp with asycfilt.dll error

However firefox.exe in the subfolder works properly without the profiles.

The only information I found is :

returning error when trying to install: Extract: error writing to file xul.dll

Hello,

has anyone experiences in installing /configuring
Firexox /Java VM to make launch JVM from Firefox always from **portable**
device (USB- Memorystick), even when drive- No changes?

In which folder Java has to be installed ?
Which entries in Firefox configuration / plugin-management have to be made so
Firefox does'nt launch Java from the host system ?

best regards, Michael

Mozilla has released Firefox 3.5.8 on 17/02/2010 (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.5.8/releasenotes/). Usually, PA.c publishes a paf-version within one or two days, but not this time. Which brings me to re-consider the question of whether Firefox can be allowed to auto-update itself (i.e. updating from within Firefox). For a long time, it was made quite clear to users that they shouldn't use auto-update, but download the new .paf from PA.c instead. In fact, all the key support pages still claim that.

New version of Firefox 3.5.x released.
Will updating my Firefox Portable from previous one (also 3.5.x) by copying
manually all binaries from local installation to the portable installation?

The question addresses all updates within the same major version.

Not sure what's going on here, whether it's Flash's fault or FFP's, but the issue is definitely specific to FFP, so I'm posting it here. Ever since I updated my Flash plugin to 10.0.44.32 to 10.0.45.2, Flash no longer works in Firefox Portable. I mean, the area on the page dedicated to the flash applet is properly set aside, but the flash movie itself doesn't play at all, it's just... blank.

In a local copy of Firefox, Flash works just fine, and so will FFP if it's using the local copy of Flash, but if there's an npswf32.dll in the FirefoxPortable directory, it doesn't work.

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum.

The hospital I'm working for is going to use a new software that is only compatible with FireFox 1.5.0.4. I manage to find, download and install the 1.5.0.4. Though, I would like to get a portable version of it.

Could you point me to a location where I could find it?
Or could you tell me where I can get the information to create my own Firefox 1.5.0.4 portable?

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,
Yael

Hello,

i need a Browser to show some .html documents from a cd. So i choose the Firefox Portable V 2.0.20 and modify it as i need. The V2 because it´s small,fast and there are no updates needed. The Browser is working so far. But at one of my Testsystems the Browser opens not the startpage (defined in the firefoxportable.ini) but he opens a page wich is telling me that the google toolbar was succesfull installed. Furthermore the Bitdefender Toolbar apear in the Browser. The Systems is Windows XP with a local installation f FF 3.5 and bitdefender.

currently, whenever I plug my USB with FF portable on it, it installs all the random plugins/extensions) from the computer i plugged it into.

things like realplayer and mcafee. which i REALLY don't want on firefox. worst yet, even when i uninstall hard-to-uninstall addons, they just reinstall the next time i plugin PFF.

i'm asking if this behavior is normal, and how do i STOP this from happening?

I have just found the new 2nd profile app and it sounds great. I downloaded it to try as I use FF in 3 locations which need 3 different proxy settings and I thought this might be a nice quick way of starting up FF already set up for the location without having to edit the proxy each time.

What I found, thought, was that everything in the 2nd profile was "reset", i.e. no addons, bookmarks etc. Is there a way that I can easily get them synchronised so that I only need to change the proxy setting?
