Firefox Portable

Firefox profile auto-copy

Submitted by USBman on June 23, 2008 - 3:31pm

I just finished reading a post on CyberNet ( http://cybernetnews.com/2008/06/23/portable-firefox-3-for-mac-os-x/ ) that highlighted a portable version of Firefox (to be used with Mac OS) that automatically copied an existing local Firefox profile into the fresh Firefox Portable 'installation.' While this is obviously possible to be done manually (if desired), adding an option to do this automatically could be a nice little addition!

hangups, pauses etc

I have been using portable firfox for ages and it works ok only thing is that occasionally it tends to hang-up/pause for a few secs then continue. Firfox itself never does this. still happens with FF3 what to do . is it a bug or something else

it happens on any computer dial-up or broadband no matter what it does it.

what could be the prob.

First start-session manager question-suggestion

Submitted by m2 on June 22, 2008 - 7:37am

When I updated my FF to 3.0, I've been asked whether I want to use session manager and got 2 options: yes/no. I use a session manager in TabMixPlus extension and I wasn't sure how will this choice affect it. Will "yes" enable FF session manager instead of mine? Will "no" disable it? It missed the third option - "leave it as it is".

I've been using Firefox 2.0.0.14 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.2.0 for a long time.Recently, I heard that Firefox 3.0 was released.So I downloaded the new version(FF3+FirefoxPortable 1.5.14.0) from Portableapps.com . But,I found that when I start the firefoxportable.exe, it starts numerous tasks(more than 50), and then open plently of browser windows.
I've test :
Firefox 2.0.0.14 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.2.0 OK!
Firefox 2.0.0.14 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.14.0 OK!
Firefox 3.0 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.2.0 OK!
Firefox 3.0 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.14.0 CRASHED!!!

FF3 crashing

Love your site long time John. Thankyou so much.

Downloaded last night ff3.It crashes on startup the first time. It then starts but crashes when I go to options and change something. Then it crashed on the Google sign up page. Ive installed it to "H:\Astrix\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable" on a hard drive. I will have a fiddle.

Cheers
Astrix
