Firefox Sync not working

Submitted by OLLI_S on December 26, 2011 - 11:02am

Hello,

I recognized that Firefox Sync is not working.
If I set up sync to an existing account and restart Firefox, then all sync settings are gone.
In the Firefox menu (the orange Firefox button) there is "Setup Sync" instead of "Sync now".

I had Firefox 8 installed version (not the portable version).
There I set up Firefox sync to sync my bookmarks between my private PC, my work PC and my Android phone.
Everything worked perfectly.

Changing Language in Fiefox 9.01

Submitted by OLLI_S on December 25, 2011 - 3:27pm

Hello,

I have the PAP (Portable Apps Platform) 10.0.1 in German language.
Also my OS (Windows 7) is in German language.
And my old portable Firefox (8.x) was also in German language.
For some postings here I changed the language of the PAP to English.

Then the PAP updated Firefox to version 9.0 (auto update).
But now Firefox is displayed in English language.

Is there a way to get Firefox in German language?
Installing it again is not an option, because it took me some time to install and configure some Add-Ons.

FF 9.0.1 update

Submitted by djnavas on December 22, 2011 - 2:59pm

Today, I accepted the FireFox update to 9.0.1. Was a 2 MB download.

After I accepted, I realized that was FireFox which asked me to install this update. Wasn't the portable apps platform.

It is okay this way of update or I must replace the FireFox with portable version 9.0?

Thanks,

Tips - How to pin FirefoxPortable in windows 7

Submitted by MasterYoda on December 21, 2011 - 5:43pm

=== update ===
this trix has stopped working with v10 for some reason.
================

People have had problem to pin firefox portable in windows 7 so the right firefox profile starts and, at the same time, only get one single icon in the taskbar.

The problem have been:
1 - If you start firefoxportable.exe and then try to pin it, next time you start it you notice a new profile is started locally on the computer and not the profile you have used in firefoxportable. This is because firefox.exe is pinned.

Separate cookies on Mozilla Firefox (?)

Submitted by wroclawianin on December 20, 2011 - 3:56am

Hello, here's my problem:

Untill not I was using Mozilla Firefox as my webbrowser. Now as I'm playing some browser game that requires me to delete cookies like 2-3 times a day it started to get annoying. My question is: can I have installed both: Mozilla Firefox and Firefox Portable on the same PC, that would have separate cookies? So when I play my game on portable and then I delete the cookies, my cookies from the regular Mozilla Firefox won't be deleted?

I know I could use another browser for my game, like opera or something but I simply don't want to.

Install Flash in FF Portable 8.0.1

Submitted by BenB on December 7, 2011 - 8:09pm

I’d like to install Flash player in Firefox Portable 8.0.1. I read on this forum that an easy workaround is to copy the files from my local machine and paste them in the portable Firefox plugin folder under data. My home computer does have Flash and it works well. I looked for the files on my computer in system32\macromed\flash but didn’t find the files. My local machine runs Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit edition. Can you tell me where the Flash files are? Thanks.
