FireFox Won't Open

Submitted by ggrosser on July 4, 2009 - 11:54am

Hello all,

I was running FF 3.0.11 I think, and I was having some issues with that version starting to lag. So I updated to the most recent version (3.5 I think) Now, no matter what version I have installed on my flash drive FF won't open. Everytime I attempt to open, it states that another version is already running. I konw that no other FF browsers are open, so I am not sure what to do?

Firefox lag is pretty bad

I think I first noticed it in 3.0.10. It was in 3.0.11 for sure and it's in 3.5 as well.

The most common thing is I will be typing and the text will stop appearing on screen. I can keep typing, and after a few seconds, it will all spill out at once. It does this regularly, sometimes in every sentence I type.

Scrolling is similar, it's like it completely stops responding and I've got to wait for it to catch up. Sometimes it just goes completely unresponsive, and won't do anything until it's done doing whatever it is it's doing.

FF3 on a DVD - Win XP&Vista situation with Extensions

Submitted by iGama on July 3, 2009 - 12:44pm

Im using the FF 3.0 Portable on a DVD to be executed on XP and Vista by autorun to give a seamless execution and easy feel of use.

I already saw the recommendations on :

https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#performance
https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#cd

And almost everything works as expected Smile

The problem.

On some machines, when FFportable begins the window of "New Extension Installed" appears on screen, because it detected installed extensions on the machine ( like the Windows .NET assistant, Flash, java, whatever )

Portable FF 3.5 Install

Submitted by dhartsoc on July 1, 2009 - 10:07am

Hi,

I may have missed this... will the Portable FF 3.5 installation overwrite the Portable FF 3.0.11 folder? I want to have them separate for a while since the release candidates for 3.5 ran much more slowly on my Micro Cruzer.

I can't remember if I am given the choice of installation directory. Guess I'll just go ahead and see.

Bug: Firefox 3.5 Automatically Closes

Submitted by dallen on July 1, 2009 - 9:37am

I've had PortableApps.com's version of Firefox running on my thumb drive for quite a long time and have never experienced this issue before. Upon installing the latest version of Firefox (3.5), I noticed that Firefox automatically closes when I try to view a page that contains graphs requiring Adobe SVG Viewer under IE. The interesting thing is that the full version of Firefox 3.5 (non-portableapps) does not have the same problem.

Can someone help me resolve this issue? More details are available upon request.
