Firefox 2 and tooltips

Submitted by Papaganoush on November 28, 2006 - 5:33pm

I installed the new firefox 2 portable and so far everything works except the tooltips on the gmail manager extension. As far as I can tell it is just the tooltips for that extension that do not work. I am going to install and test the forecast fox extension to see if the tooltips work for that extension.

Is this a Firefox 2 problem, a firefox 2 portable problem, a gmail manager problem. or a combination?

Edit: I installed forecast fox and the tooltips for that extension are not working either. It looks like the tooltips for the status bar are not working in portable firefox 2.

Can't download software from PortableApps.com

I disabled Adblock Filterset.G, FireFTP, Free Download Mgr. and still can't download anything from PortableApps.com. Had to use IE7 to download PortableApps Suite Basic and the other PortableApps as well. Tried both Ff2.0 and Ff 2.0 Portable. Tried Ff Safe Mode and was able to download Apps from PortableApps.com.

Thought I'd share this problem.

I'm not having download problems at other sites using Ff 2.0. Haven't had this problem in the past either, before Ff 2.0. The only new extensions I've added since Ff 2.0 is FreFTP.
When I try and download, the downloader starts and then it stops saying:

Portable Firefox 2.0 doesn't remember changes

I recently installed Firefox Portable 2.0, having used Firefox Portable for almost a year now. With this new version, I noticed that when I close the program and then open it again, any changes I have made to the layout of Firefox is reset. For example, Firefox always opens in a smaller window, not maximized as I had it before closing. Another example, any changes I made to the toolbars (getting rid of the bookmarks toolbar, in particular) are undone when I reopen. I tried disabling all my extensions, but this still did not fix the problem.

When I installed 2.0, I copied my profile from my old Firefox directory to the new.

Click in window brings to top of page

I gave a glance but not a hardy look through Mozilla site looking for info about the tittle of this thread. At first i did not notice this issue but i seem to see it more and more and it is a tad odd. Whenever I open a page like here or on another forum or any site i visit. If it is longer than can be displayed on the screen and has to be scrolled if I scroll down and click a link it brings right back up to the top of the page. A tad annoying if you are looking at a 50 post thread on a single window and click a link near the bottom and have to scroll back down to click it again to open it.

Extensions will not finish installs

Submitted by squeeze on November 25, 2006 - 6:47am

I'm running FFP 2.0, an upgrade from my FFP 1.5.0.7 installation. I never used extensions before in FFP and decided to start with 2.0. I installed Adblock Plus, Tab Mix Plus, and the Adblock Filterset updater. The initial installs went fine but all three say that the installation will finish when Firefox is restarted. When I restarted (either by prompting from the extension install or manual), the extensions still do not install. I have rebooted several times and check to make sure not Firefox.exe processes are running.

Any other ideas? A new profile?

PROXY.PAC

Submitted by fujii13 on November 24, 2006 - 11:07am

I have my PAC file setup to use a proxy at work and not at home and it's worked out great in testing on my home and work laptops, but when I switch to my desktops, I run into some problems.
Since the laptops have a single optical drive, and the desktops have two optical drives, the drive letter for the PAC URL in PFF is wrong. That's fine for my home desktop b/c if the PAC file isn't found it switches to direct connection, but for my work PC (which I use primarily) the file isn't found and I get no connection until i redirect the file.
Is there any way to use a generic URL that points to wha
