Firefox Portable

Hey,

I know this is a common problem that people cant install some mods, or cant install *.xpi files etc. However, nobody seems to have given an exact error they get. I installed PFF onto my personal drive in college (I cant install anything anywhere else). However, on launching an extension or skin install half way through the procedure this error appears;

"Firefox could not install the file at [URL to extension] because: script error".

Sometimes its installed after I re-boot tho.

Any ideas? Its the same error when I go to "File > Open" and launch the xpi file I saved on the PC.

Hi, I have just started all this nomadic behaviour, simply because I am ditching my PC and am having to think of ways to get by using, eugh, public computers. FF on a USB seems good to me, especially with all the etx.!!!

Problem is IE's tools menu is blocked from access, and I cannot load the page in FF because I do not know the proxy settings. I have been scouring the net for a tool that can posibly get that info externally.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Samuel, uk

It seems such a large file in relation to the rest of the app.

Thanks,

I ran into portable Firefox the other day. Super work! I love the fact I can put it on my file server and then have any system on my network access and run Firefox.

However, it seems I can't run more than one session of Firefox. In other words, only one machine can run it at a time. Is this what it should be doing? Or is there capability to allow multiple computers to use it at the same time? Even if it is technically possible, would this violate any of the license terms?

Any assistance appreciated.

I want to use Portable Firefox to run Firefox from my university's network space (which was recently increased to make this practical). However I want to share the main firefox directory with other users to save some space, letting each user keep just his/her own profile. (User copies PortableFirefox exe and a default ini and profile dir.) This also makes Firefox updates quick and easy.

I tried setting FirefoxDirectory in PortableFirefox.ini, but it does not work.

Is it possible to add support for absolute paths in the launcher? This will help a lot in this case.

The lines I tried that gave me a "firefox.exe not found" error:

1st : Sorry for my poor english.

2nd : Thanks for your work, John, I really appreciate using PFF and all your apps.

3rd : My problem.
After I've used PFF, the cache of my local FF is automaticaly cleared. Which is a problem with a 56k connection (I'm in a small island, no high speed internet here).

So, how can I prevent this from happening ?

hi, i get this infos when i access to my portable firefox link "connection has timed out...If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection. how do i check it?
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web (how to have this infos)".thanks a lot for help.

I have a PQI I-Stick thumb drive that has been reliable until I installed Portable Firefox. Now either the drive either gets corrupted or erased while I use FireFox. Anyone else have these issues?

Thanks

Portable firefox was working well but last night the application decided to update itself to a newer version that doesn't seem to work. I have a backup of my drive so it is not a huge problem but I would like to know if I can stop it updating itself or whether there is a new version of potable firefox I should be using?
