Firefox Portable

webmail notifier

Submitted by jremy on August 27, 2007 - 11:18am

Hello,

I use portables applications on an usb-disk.
I would use webmail-notifier ( a firefox extension ) for check my mail on differents mailboxes. No problem for installation, when Firefox start, webmail-notifier is also running, the problem is that when You make settings for your mailboxes, I suppose a file containing mailboxname/login/password is created but not stored on the USB-HD.
This setting must be created every time and this is not very usefull...
How to do for keep informations on the USB-HD ?

Thanks to everybody...

FF Portable - BSOD

Submitted by JPedrosa on August 27, 2007 - 9:11am

Hi,
I've been using the latest version of FF portable 2.0.06 on my laptop from work to avoid "installation permissions" issues.

but I'm having a very strange issue.

when connected to the office lan, everything works perfect.
When connected to the 3G card, after some minutes of browsing, i get a nice BSOD Smile

I've run some tests against memory to clear this item from the "faulty hardware" list in my head, the test is ok.
I've tried the same thing with IE, and the PC does not crash.

i've tested in battery mode and power cable mode.

let me know any tests i can do.

Firefox Portable multiple instances (net share)

Submitted by FH on August 25, 2007 - 10:05am

Hi,

i work every day with the same programs on different computers. So i want to copy them on a stick. Everything is well as long I use the programs on one PC. But sometimes I have to use the Firefox on two PCs. So i shared the usb device to network. But if i have already started it one computer it is locked for the other one with the error message "... an instance is already running". Of course is there a an instance running on the other pc, but can I use it anyway?

My first idea was to activate multiple instances, but this is only for one os envoirement.

Local Install Deleted

Submitted by Darkness on August 24, 2007 - 7:48am

Hi, I've been using your version of portable Firefox for some time now. Recently I upgraded PowerDVD on one of my computers, and the installation installed a copy of the google toolbar but because the portable version of firefox was open it tried to install it onto that instead. Now whenever i close portable firefox it deletes the local firefox directory. I have tried re-downloading it and using a fresh copy and I have tried it on other computers with the same results. Now i'm stuck because every computer that has admin rights on it will get it's firefox directory deleted.

Adobe Problems...

Submitted by slimanddeadly on August 23, 2007 - 12:19am

This has probably been answered before. But after using Firefox and opening some PDFs in the browser. I then close Forefox... but for some reason adobe seems to be reading from my USB and it won't let me eject my USB drive.

After I end the adobe process I can eject my drive. But otherwise my drive is completely unejectable.

I've had this problem with the current and previous release. When I go to try and startup Firefox Portable it doesn't startup, I check the task manager and it says firefox.exe is running but it doesn't startup.

Firefox portable lags

Submitted by marcusmpe on August 22, 2007 - 10:58am

When performing various actions using Firefox Portable, the program lags behind the actions. For example, when typing into a form, it will occasionally hang and not display any further text entered, and then about 1-2 seconds later, show all the text entered instantly. This behavior also occurs when scrolling through a page, it will hang, and then instantly move to where you've scrolled to. Other examples are:
Cursor not changing when hovering over a link or text
Outline of navigation buttons (back, home, etc) not appearing when hovering

firefox still not working elsewhere

Submitted by hart022 on August 21, 2007 - 7:19pm

So i try to go to the c:\documents and settings\[user name]\application data\folder at school. however i cant access the application data folder at school. i am positive that there is a folder called mozilla that i have no way to delete. because of that folder i cancels out my settings in Portable Firefox. It tries to write to to the folder that doesn't exist.the error console says
var itemLocation = s.e.location.getItemLocation(e.id)has no properties. if there is a batch file,patch or something like that, i need to know asap.:(
