Firefox Portable

No password remember option for Yahoo and Hotmail sites

Submitted by Atos26 on May 16, 2009 - 11:20am

On every page I try to log in FFP 3.0.10 gives me the option to remember the entered user name and password. But when I'm logging into Yahoo and Hotmail sites, the above option is not available. Why is it so? I understand why this function is switched off for banks' pages and some financial institutions (like PayPal). But why for My Yahoo, Yahoo Mail or Hotmail and MSN? I had no such problem with GMail site. Could someone explain, please?

Picture as my homepage

Submitted by Atos26 on May 15, 2009 - 9:40pm

Hello,

How can I use a picture as my homepage in FFP? I have created a small html file which displays my picture as homepage. The problem is that it only works with set path. If my pen drive is allocated different drive letter, FFP can't find the photo (placed with mypage.html file in profile folder). I have already tried several suggestions from other forums but none of them worked. Thanks.

Local Add-ons

Submitted by kjkjava on May 15, 2009 - 3:19pm

I just recently started to use Firefox Portable and I'm not sure if this is normal behavior or not (or if there is a way to change the behavior). Depending on the computer I am on, different add-ons will show up. For example, the computer I am on now has AVG anti-virus on it, and so I get a lovely new toolbar on my browser. This computer does not have a local copy of Firefox. Is there a way to use only add-ons that are stored on my flash drive?

Thanks,
Kyle

Cookies expiring

Submitted by surma884 on May 13, 2009 - 9:22pm

My FFP updated last week and I have 3.0.10. After that upgrade my cookies keep on getting deleted. I will select remember me when logging into any site. If I close FF and open it back up it does not remember me. It happens with Gmail, Yahoo, and all sites that use cookies. My cookie setting is set to "keep until they expire". This is pissing me off... for all the sites I goto I have too login every time. Sad

Firefox restrictions affecting performance

Submitted by IceCKryss on May 7, 2009 - 11:24am

Hi, I've been using the PortableApps software for long time, and have enjoyed nearly every minute of it. Though one error has kept me wishing Firefox was easier to manage. I typically use 3 different computers on a daily basis, and have admin rights only on the first one, my home computer. Now this isn't typically a problem, as I can install Portable Apps from all 3 of them. What is my problem is Firefox's inability to be used on any more than one.
