Firefox Portable

Hello guys,

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I have PFF in a shared folder, I also have two user accounts mine and my wifes, she connects to my pc via RDP and logs in with her user account.

I would like her to use the same PFF which is in the shared folder. The problem is the thie little chestnut 'parent.lock'. If I am browsing and she connects and wants to browse I keep gettig 'firefox is already running' etc.

I have tried 'AllowMultipleInstances' in the .ini file but this does not allow her to run it aswell as myself.

not only auto apdate does not work but when I check for update manually , firefox doesn't find 1.50.4 .
any ideas, someone, please ?

It didn't happen at first... but recently as I am using FF it will hang/freeze for time frames from 5-25 seconds at a time randomely. I can be doing anything and it will just hang/freeze and then come back and be fine. If I am putting in a password and it stalls and I continue entering digits, it will just spurt out all the password when it comes back.

Strange and annoying. Today I upgraded to the newest version of FF and it appears to still have a problem.

Every so often I get a file is corrupted message again regarding a particular file or two in my Portable FF folder on my USB driv

I just updated PFF to 1.5.0.4. Simple download, restart and check for compatability of extensions. (most extensions that are comp with 1.5.0.3 are tagged 1.5.*)

If you version does not notify you right away then you can go to Help and Check for Updates.

It works just fine.

Please don't ask John to release a PFF 1.5.0.4 today. I'm sure that is very annoying.

If I use my U3 with portable firefox on my work laptop, will there be any stray .JPG' s or other surfing information on the company laptop?

I go to banking sites and have a family site that I do not want to have any info that could be found on my laptop when traveling.

Kinda new to the portable thing, just ordered the U3 but I also know I could just use a Thumb drive but the price for a 2 gig U3 was pretty good
Thanks in advance for the info

hello everybody!

as a great fan of toe portable fox i'm using it very often. but i've got a problem with the settings - there are some errors i couldn't fix, and websearch only show me the way to this site

my problem:
the browser-settings weren't saved.

i use PFF on an usb-stick, on computers with various BS (win2000, winNT, winXP ...). but every time i plug my usb-device on a different computer, all settings i've made are gone.

means: the toolbar looks like "default", my theme is away, different toolbars are shown which i didn't want to, browser-preferences are "default" and so on.

Since this is a common problem and I've just now found the solution, here's how to fix the "extensions always showing up greyed out" problem that some FF users have encountered. Perhaps you could add it to the FAQ, John?

The solution is to close down Firefox, delete extensions.rdf from the profile directory, then restart FF. Once this has been done, the extensions will be available for use again.

hi,
i have a problem, i was on a year abroad, and took my mail and email with me (portable thunderbird and firefox). the problem now is that i do not know how i get my data from the usb to the local drive. can somebody help me?
thanks

I have been using the latest nightly zip build of FireFox on my iPod. I have configured my profile to reside in my iPod using the FF profile manager so that I can carry my extensions along. I haven't found a way to change the profiles.ini path from the default %AppPath% folder, but the first time I use FF from my iPod, I configure it to use the profile present in my iPod. That way my settings and bookmarks are available whereever I use the nightly FF build.

How does Portable Firefox differ from the method I use?

Hello,

at first..., sorry for my terrible english :-D.
I use FF for and now I've bought an USB-Stick for myself.
I like FF and I use it on my computer with the german language.
Now I get PFF :-), it's a fine program and I have no problem to use it with
the english language, but I'm to lazy.
I want to know, how I can change the language of this really good program?
