Hi,
I am using the Firefox portable for running our application directly off the CD. The proof of concept work fine except that because its running of a CDR it needs to have runLocally set to true. this means firefox copies the firefox folder which is like 25MB to the temp folder. As my application is not going to be changing any firefox properties or settings, i really dont meed it to run locally but the application doesnt let me do that ir I am running from a CD. Is there a way to prevent it or work around it?
Thanks,
Arun

have used PF on a CD, but, just in case... have you read this?
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
thanks Aciago,
That was exactly my point, it requires the runLocally to be set to true, which I really dont need. Maybe thats not the problem. Can I turn on logging messages or something, to see exactly whats making it take so long to open up, it takes almost a 30 sec for firefox to start.
Firefox has to be run from a writable location (not read-only like a CD). There is no way around this. The workaround is to copy it locally. Which is what we do.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
