How to delete Bookmarks Toolbar Folder

Submitted by upchuck on November 7, 2008 - 5:57pm

I have a Bookmarks Toolbar Folder and find it very handy.

I was creating a new bookmark folder and clicked on Edit and accidentally clicked, "Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder." So now I have a new BTF which has replaced the old BTF.

How do I delete the new BTF? Right clicking to give properties works, but Delete is grayed out. If I click on Edit with the new BTF selected, Delete is grayed out.

How do I delete this?

TIA

Java in Portable FireFox-how to

Submitted by gregnorris on November 7, 2008 - 10:28am

Obviously, if you read any of a thousand post, there's no such thing as Portable Java but, most computers have Java on them so. I've found (and it may have been suggested before as well) that if you just copy and paste the right files from plugins (and possibly extensions as well) you can usually make java work on a computer that has java but, not IE.

How does a user prevent FirefoxPortable 2.0.0.17 from updating automatically?

Submitted by Jacker969 on November 3, 2008 - 1:25pm

FirefoxPortable 2.0.0.1 is installed on an external hard drive. I do not want it to update automatically to a new version of FirefoxPortable. I also do not want FirefoxPortable to connect to the internet.

First, I have modified several preferences in "about:config" to the following in order to prevent access to the internet:

(I type "about:config" in the address bar and type "proxy" in the "Find" box.)

(Preference Name, Status, Type, Value)
network.proxy.http, user set, string, 1
network.proxy.http_port, user set, integer, 8080
network.proxy.type, user set, integer, 1

Multiple instances DOES NOT WORK (despite .ini file change)

Submitted by portableuser1 on November 3, 2008 - 12:28am

I searched around a bit and found that to run multiple instances of firefox, the ini file is to be changed (and put in same directory as the portable exe file). I did this with the following line (changed from "=false" to "=true")

AllowMultipleInstances=true

But this still does not work !!!!!

Any help appreciated.

The ini file change was suggested at

Firefox was working fine yesterday. Today when I try to start I get an XULRunner error box that says:
Error:App:Name not specified in application.ini

This happened earlier this week as well and I assumed that something got corrupted. So, I reinstalled Firefox and everything worked fine for a couple of days.

Windows XP Professional
noname 4GB USB flash drive
No locally installed Firefox

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

Firefox 2.0.0.17- multiple windows?

Submitted by bluebell_rose on October 29, 2008 - 2:15pm

for some reason when I pop open FFP 2.0.0.0.17, it opens 100s of firefox windows and I only clicked once. I've downgraded then upgraded and the issue seems to have corrected itself, but it pops up no and then. I constantly have to upgrade and downgrade my ffp. I haven't upgraded to 3.0.3 since it runs abymsyally slow on my thumbdrive
