Error starting PortFirefox

Submitted by heinz57g on May 11, 2007 - 7:37am

trying to start PortFF, on two different computers, i always
get the following error code:

- The instruction at "0x00818c00" referenced memory at "0xffffffff". The memory could not be "read".

any idea what this could be, and how to get rid of it? everything else,
incl all portable applications, work fine on these computers (both WIN 2000 Prof).

greetings - heinz -

Greasemonkey Script Problem

Submitted by cw1925 on May 10, 2007 - 10:45pm

I can't get my Greasemonkey scripts to install, even if I download them and manually move them into the "gm_scripts" folder. I've tried uninstalling Greasemonkey several times to no avail. Is there something else I can do? I have several already installed, but I can't install any more for some reason.

Portable Firefox lost settings

Submitted by walker11 on May 10, 2007 - 10:35am

Hello all, I am new here. I am running Portable firefox on a portable 4 gig mini hard drive (Excalibur USB model XEC4). I have downloaded the latest Portable firefox and it is great, but. My settings keep getting lost. Bookmarks, home page and options. I have reinstalled the program and it will work for awhile then for some reason the settings will be lost again. The same happens with portable Thunderbird, all my account settings vanish too. At work I am running Win 2000 pro and At home I run XP. I travel and rely on the mini drive to keep me intouch.

Include "Portable" in window title?

Submitted by jasontan6 on May 9, 2007 - 10:51am

Hey, just started using PortableApps and they're great!

One thing - how about adding the word "Portable" to the title of the window of Firefox Portable? Right now its "Mozilla Firefox". Could you change it to "Mozilla Firefox (Portable)" or something similar?

It gets a bit confusing when using the app locally, and there's a locally installed Firefox.
