Firefox Portable

Hi Everyone,

I've never had a problem with Portable FF until now. I installed it on my portable HDD, and everytime I attempt to run FF, it gives me the read/write error. As far as I'm aware the directories are writable, but it doesn't work for me, if I copy the portable FF directory to a different location on the portable HDD it appears to work, although the plugins/addons I had installed are now NOT installed anymore.

I'm also unable to remove the portable FF directories from the HDD.

Before it was working okay until I got some spyware onto the computer. When trying to download something you can't tell where to save the file for the download to start. If set automatically to save to desktop then will download.

Hi,

I just downloaded FFP and i tried following the directions to copy my local Firefox settings to FFP, but i couldn't get it to work. If someone could please help me with this i would really appreciate it.

did anyone try to listen a flatcast radio ? ( www.flatcast.com ) there's a setup file for mozilla, it's said to run file and restart firefox . i did it times n times.. firefox still says "missed plugin". they say , it's working with FF. so is the problem with portable one ?

I'm new to using flash drives. Just for the heck of it I bought a Keystone 1Gb USB 2.O and installed Firefox Portable. Everything was fine. I had a carbon copy of my regular FF. That is until I installed the onFocus Reload add-on. On restarting FF the browser freezes immediately after opening, with this message in a box: ! [object Event]. I know how to deal with unruly add-ons by starting FF in Safe Mode to disable/remove, but I don't see any way to do it with Portable.

Any Ideas?

This post is not about FFP as a 'false positive' by A/V software due to the launcher's behaviour, rather about "firefox.exe" being included in a company's A/V blacklist.

Until recently I happily used FFP on my work computer. Recently my employer has included Firefox in a blacklist of its A/V SW. When trying to run FFP now, a Virus-Warning mesage will appear, then the A/W SW will delete firefox.exe from my removable drive.

\App\DefaultData\plugins
\App\firefox\plugins
\Data\plugins

There are 3 folders where plugins are located. John, could you decrease this amount? It`s imho a bit confusing.

I like to watch programs from the following Website:

http://www.cbs.com/innertube/

I use Portable Firefox. the website requires real Player plugin. It works on my home computer which has real player installed but I can't get it to work when using it on a computer without realplayer installed and I don't have admin priviledges to install on the work computer. I have tried copying everything I can find into the Port FF Plugins folder but to no availe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Here is a slightly improved version of the search plugin Ryan posted here: https://portableapps.com/node/3578

All I did was shorten up the descriptions so that it now stays within the search box column when you hit change arrow.

It works with FF 2.0.

EDIT: How to install.
1. "Save link as"
2. Place the file in your PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\searchplugins directory.
3. Restart Firefox.

It's me again...

As I understand the FP Live copies all the necessary files to the hard disk. On computers with a slow CD-ROM drive this takes some time. The launcher does this every time the Firefox Portable is started even if I don't delete the files on the HDD. I wonder if there is a chance to let the launcher only copy the files from CD to HDD which are different or are missing on HDD. I looked around in the nsi file and started to read the documentation of NSIS but found nothing. Has anyone of you an idea how to make this?
