Using Firefox plugins on computer without shockwave, quicktime or adobe reader

Submitted by benetti32 on July 26, 2007 - 2:23pm

I've got problems with Firefox portable plugins on computers without shockwave, quicktime etc. installed, because the plugins doesn't work. I solved only the problem with flash plugin - I copied file NPSWF32.dll, which has about 2MB, from opera plugins directory to my firefox, and now the Flash works also on computers without flash installed. But I can't solve the problem with other plugins. Any idea?

Hello,

I'm trying to retreive an ISimpleDOMNode pointer from elements in the Firefox page,
but i've got the following error message (0x80040155 : Interface not registered).
I need it in order to pase the page using accessibility.

It does work with the normal version of Firefox.

Does anybody got an idea on that ?

Thanks

firefox portable 2.0.0.5_en-us

I have two devices. On one, I moved the existing firefox directory to FirefoxPortable.dec under the PortableApps. I added the new Firefox instance.

from my laptop, I was able to login, set preferences, install add-ons to the portable hard-drive.

Accessing the drive, via a permissions restricted Customer Site PC (Windows 2000), there was a message indicating that the security component would not initialize. Tracking down the error message indicated that it was trying to open profiles from under the C:\Document and Settings.

Hi. a quicky about the text search function in firefox: when i type ctrl+F i get a fully featured search bar with highlight, previous, next option etc. If i just start typing the text i want to search, i dont get those option. annoying (it wasnt like this in firefox version prior to 2.0.0.2 i think).

anyways to get the fully featured search bar option by just "search as i type"?

Thanks

Autostart for Firefox on CD-R

Submitted by kallemania on July 24, 2007 - 11:40am

Hello everybody.

I've got the problem that it seems not possible for me to start PortableFirefoxLive from a cd-r using autostart.

I'd like to have Firefox starting on putting the cd-r into a drive. So I got the edited firefox.ini to run Firefox from a cd-r, copied the whole stuff to the root of the cd-r and used the following string in the autostart.inf:

[autorun]
open=FirefoxPortable.exe
icon=sicon.ico

So, if I put the cd-r in any computer nothing happens, only the dataexplorer pops up and shows me the content of the cd-r ... that's it.

FirefoxPortable will not start...

...at all. Neither will ThunderbirdPortable.

The splash screen appears. Then nothing. The app vanishes from the process list. Ditto for 7Zip. Notepad++ did throw an exception on the first try, but will start now.

FileZilla, Eraser and SumatraPDF work fine.

I'm using A SanDisk Cruzer micro 4GB USB stick.

Can this be a performance issue? At home I have an old 1,3GHz Celeron system with 768MB RAM with XP Professional (with USB 2, though). At the office computer the apps worked.
