Firefox Portable

Launch portable apps for MIME type

Submitted by mstinaff on May 30, 2007 - 6:00am

I wanted to be able to use Portable FireFox to launch uTorrent, Foxit Reader, and other such portable apps from my drive. First I found this:
https://portableapps.com/node/1629
but I didn't want to put a copy of every portable app in the firefox directory so I tried a few things and came up with this
assuming:
PortableApps
-\FirefoxPortable
--\App
---\firefox
----firefox.exe
-\Foxit Reader
--foxitreader.exe

1. Open PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox directory
2. create a text file named PDF.cmd
3. edit the file to contain
start "..\Foxit Reader\FoxitReader.exe" %1

Abnormal shutdown causes all extension settings lost upon restart???

Submitted by guntherfurlong on May 27, 2007 - 10:08pm

I've experienced this a few times. I think at time Firefox doesn't shutdown properly. SO when I restart it, all my extension settings are lost. Does anybody know more about this or ways to counter act it?

The only way I can think is to make regular copies of my firefox portable! I can't live without it!!!! Smile

Corrupted File

Submitted by .hiddenFile on May 21, 2007 - 6:18pm

Windows was being Windows again Smile and wouldn't unmount my USB, so I had to just pull it out when I was in a hurry. Now I have two corrupted files that cause a looping error message whenever I start up Firefox and whenever I exit. I've tried reinstalling the application, but with no avail. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance Smile

Youtube and Flash problem

Submitted by Johndoe on May 21, 2007 - 4:18pm

I have downloaded and installed the flash extension and it works fine on other flash sites but youtube fails to recognize it. Oddly enough it runs the video on the front page okay (the one at the top right) but when i try to view any other video it claims flash is not installed (it is, i've checked and double checked). Anyone had similar problems and knows how to fix it?

The plugin works fine in Ie7 and standard firefox. Is it a problem in Firefox portable or is it just me?

help pls. Its really annoying that I have to use another browser to view videos
