Hi guys,
First time here and something to pick your brains...
I've been using the good old FavoritesHomePage created by Robert Perry a couple of years ago (it seems that he hiding somewhere in cyber space) and it is an excellent script to organize the favorites with pictures in the background, etc. it is a complicated script (to me anyway) that runs flawless under IE or Avant Browser.
Firefox does not run it and when calling the main file it just says "Loading..." and sits there not doing what it should be doing. This happens both with the full version or the portable. Is there a fix for this? Please talk English as I'm not a programmer.
Hi, Unfortunately i use AOL and if i want to connect to the internet without using the aol web browser i have to right-click on the aol quick launch icon, select dialler, type in my password and connect, i was wondering if there is a firefox extension or add-in that could do this for me.
sorry if this is in the wrong place and thanks in advance.
Is there anyway of getting portable firefox to run firefox called iexplore.exe? I have looked in the config files called PortableFirefox.ini and PortableFirefox.nsi but I got a Firefox.exe not found error... please help me out, cheers.
Would it be possible to include an option or something to the PortableFirefox launcher that would add a line to the user.js file in the profile directory?
Firefox is running fine from my USB key, but it's very sluggish when I have caching turned on (and it causes a lot of writes to the key, which apparently isn't very good for it). I've tried turning caching off, but that makes FF sluggish as well.
Ok, maybe it should work this way, but I thought otherwise, especially since last release with improvements in stability.
I'm running Portable Firefox from USB-drive and it works alright. At the end of the day I would unplug USB-drive (app is still running) and go home. Next day, the app is still there, I plug drive back in and continue working.
Some time during that (next) day Firefox app crashes, even though drive is plugged in and everything is working fine. This happens pretty much every day and I'm not sure whether it's a problem or feature by design.
I have a problem getting my themes to work for my pFF.
Every time I download one from addons.mozilla.com, it will show up in the themes window with a message to restart Firefox to use.
However, when I DO restart Firefox, the theme dissapears from the list.
I checked the profile folder in my flash disk, and it is there, but it seems that Firefox can't read it.
Any help?
BTW, this is on a Sandisk cruzer micro with 512MB on Windows XP, no extensions yet.
I'm trying to set the remember passwords option on but every time I restart Firefox for U3 it's back unset again.
I am new to the Portable Firefox although I use firefox as my default browser on my own desktop.
I have installed PFF on a flash disk to be able to use it whever I go. However when I tried to use it on my office pc I am not ale to view sites which require/use mcromedia flash player. I do not have administrator previledge in order to install the flash plugin so as of now this "portable"webbrowser is really a crippled one for me.
My question now is that is there a way to install the plugin "manually" i.e. copy and paste? I know that in BartPE cd this is done.
Every time Firefox downloads the newest upgrade it is bad. When the upgrade is finished and I start the program, the File Edit View text shows up, and half of the address bar, but entire page is transparent and those things listred above are the only things visible. Nothing else shows on my screen. Is anyone else having this problem? And what can I do to ensure turn off the auto-download. I have reloaded Port. Firefox several times, but every time it wants to upgrade and I never have a choice, so I have to erase the files and re-unzip them back into the folder.... Thanks for any help. -
