Firefox Portable

How do I stop Portable Firefox from publishin on C:\ over 500 KB of private purchase data?

Submitted by Alan_B on September 29, 2009 - 4:33pm

I believe any one using Portable Firefox on a Flash Drive is in danger of leaving private confidential data behind on the system drive after they have closed Firefox and safely removed the Flash.

Photobox shows me the first page of snapshots in a photo album with 700+ snapshots when I use this link.

Flash and Shockwave - has anything changed?

Submitted by quingo on September 24, 2009 - 8:54am

Hullo!

I am using PortableApps on a corporate build PC on which I ahve no admin account.
The last time I installed Flash and Shockwave in my FirefoxPortable install was about a year ago - I am not that bothered about being cutting edge, so there was no need to upgrade until now. But I seem to be unable to achieve much...

I followed the recommendations from this site:

Multiple Version Install

Submitted by seikenbe on September 21, 2009 - 12:00pm

I would like to be able to install multiple versions of Firefox on my Portable Apps thumb drive.

Specifically, I'd like to install 3 and 3.5, but they both seem to use the same directory. I discovered that when I tried to install 3 and it overwrote 3.5

I already know how to run multiple versions at the same time, and installing one version on the computer and one on Portable Apps isn't really the answer I am looking for, as I'd like to carry my own configurations of both versions with me between home and work.

Thanks for any help!

Edit: Due to the large amount of addons, I am only listing those that are known NOT to be portable. Please only report addons that don't work.

As an avid user of FireFox Portable, I use alot of addons. However, I don't like to leave traces on the PCs I visit. So I decided to begin a short list of addons that are not portable. If you know an addon that is not portable, please comment.

Master Password Prompt in Private Browsing

Submitted by arizona480 on September 21, 2009 - 3:51am

I've been looking for an add on that will prevent the Master Password prompt from coming up and have had no luck. Is there a setting to keep this from appearing? I have eBay customers using Pay Pal on my computer to pay for items they pick up and figured that "Private Browsing" would be faster than closing my FF and starting up a guest profile or using the IE Tab, but they have to cancel the Master Password prompt multiple times. Any Ideas?

FFP 3.5.3 Constantly Crashing?

Submitted by GrahamG on September 20, 2009 - 11:23am

Have been using FFP for the last few days and it is Angel constantly crashing; or (b) just hanging.

I've used earlier versions of FFP and the installed version without any problems - so what's happened now?

OS: Vista Home Premium (but this has been the same OS throughout).

This is such a disappointment. I'll try downgrading to an earlier version.

Any ideas?

RocketDock - FireFox problem

Submitted by ristof on September 19, 2009 - 8:56am

Hi

I found this program and looks ok bit different to the portableapps menu but I wondered about how to stop firefox from opening a new window each time.

As I've been mucking around with so-called portable applications generally I found for example Skype you must set a value in the ini file but is there any such thing for Mozilla? Thanks

Portable FF 3.5.3 breaks Google Reader Keyboard Shortcuts

I installed FF Portable 3.5.3 and now I cannot mark as read in Google Reader using the Shift+A shortcuts. A key feature for me since I use an extremely minimized version of Reader.

I will roll back to 3.5.2 and update this with whether that restores the functionality.
