Firefox Portable

Hello I have a serious problem!
I installed recently the software Firefox Portable Apps in a file.
Not being used to me as Firefox Portable Apps I removed the file!
But I use another software which is connected to Internet and with each time it is connected it shows me the splash of Firefox Portable Apps and says to me that a text in .ini is not findable and Internet does not launch!
Can you help me?
It is important!

Thanks!

Hi,

After having installed XP and applied service pack 1/2 there is some sort of java present - not sure if its sun or microsoft.
But if i use IE to go to a website requiring java it works - but if i use Portable firefox it says i must download a java plugin.

Isn't there some (easy) way to get it to see the already working java on the system?

(I prefer NOT to install suns java, too big and somewhat unnecessary since there already is a java on the system)

I keep getting the following error with Firefox Portable:

The application had problem and crashed.

Unfortunately the crash reporter is unable to submit a report for this crash.

Details: The application did not identify itself.

I don't claim the bad grammar; that is how the error was written. My regular firefox works fine. I was able to use the portable version previously. I deleted it and downloaded it again, but it only worked one time. I keep getting this same error every time. Please tell me what I need to do to get this to work right. Thanks!

Perhaps you might consider temporarily removing FF updates 3.5x from the PortableApps offerings.

Firefox 3.5 and 3.5.1 have a pernicious memory leakage, not attributed to any add-ons but to Firefox itself, where it constantly causes Warning: Low Memory warning messages and most of Firefox's functionality stops. Scripts stop running and the computer system can no longer properly display the Firefox browser window or message windows.

For more details, search the Mozilla Firefox forum for "Warning: Low Memory".

In the earlier versions I could do the following..
I set the cache to the temp file on the computer browser.cache.disk.parent_directory; C:\\WINDOWS\\Temp\\Temporary Internet Files

This meant that the flash drive didn't work so hard, as the pages were being cached on the local machine and deleted out afterwards. It made FF run faster, as the flash drive slowed it down. As well there was less wear on the drive itself, having a limited lifespan.

The download page for Firefox 3.5.1 is broken. Please get that fixed ASAP.

Hello guys,

I am "playing" with Portable Firefox so we can make an easy solution for on our network. Let's say I want the following situation:

- C:\ volume (local): Firefox Portable executables
- D:\ volume (network mapping): Firefox profile

I already tried this with a FirefoxPortable.ini with the following settings:

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=D:\Firefox
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
AdditionalParameters=
LocalHomepage=
DisableSplashScreen=false


Does FFP use the user's default folder at

C:\Documents and Settings\*User*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

or does it make use of a special folder? The reason I'm asking is because I sometimes find that my anti-virus picks up stuff that is left from sites I visited. When I clean these folders, it doesn't always seem to help.

I use FFP's built-in private data cleaner, as well as the Piriform CCleaner program.

Firefox portable is not truly independent. It cannot be run at the same time as the non-portable version. Trying to do that gives this error message: "Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition."

As many of you already know, there are Community Builds of Mozilla Firefox available. These builds are optimized by alternating the way Firefox runs using different code of other such methods. The way PortableApps.com optimizes their builds is by using AppCompactor.
