FP 2.0rc2: Slow tab closing

Submitted by jmbattle on October 16, 2006 - 12:23am

Hello there,

I have been using Portable Firefox (and now Firefox Portable) as my main browser for several months, as I prefer to have everything saved in one folder.

The improvements in Firefox Portable 2.0 are terrific, however I often notice a considerable delay when closing tabs (with the middle mouse button) - occasionally as much as five seconds or so between clicking the mouse button and the tab closing.

Is this a known issue with Firefox Portable? I read one or two posts complaining about slow start-up times caused by Session Saving/Undo functionality. Yet the suggestions to change the Browser.sessionstore.enabled option appear to pre-date v2.0RC2. Furthermore, I am running the application locally, from harddisk so there should not be any slow-downs, surely?

FirefoxPortable.exe blocked

Well, at my school running FirefoxPortable.exe is blocked, however I'm still able to run firefox.exe, I was just wondering if there would be any drawbacks to running that directly, like if it might take away some of the portable aspects?

Well, sorry for the stupid question, but thanks for anyone that helps!

Shockwave install made easy

I made this installer by extracting the Shockwave Installer and moving the files manually into my Portable Firefox Plugins folder.

My reason for making this installer is so that users without Administrative Privileges can install the plugin hassle free.

You can download the installer from
