Firefox Portable

As for Google toolbar , Firefox 3.x is better than Firefox 4.x

Submitted by jewk on May 25, 2011 - 8:27am

I am a korean.
when i use Google toolbar translate function in Firefox 3.x with translate words by hovering over them checked and hover over a text "1 cup", it says "1 cup= 236.6 cubic centimeter.."
but in Firefox 4.x , It just says "cup= 컵"
So i prefer Firefox 3.x which also offer unit converting. but Firefox 4.x doesn't offer unit converting... it only tranlate it to korean..

thank you

FireFox "lost" my passwords

Submitted by tvme on May 18, 2011 - 8:21am

I'm using version 3.0.16 and this morning it was fine but an hour later everything was gone. The box at the top asking if I want to save the passwords I remember comes up. But when I click "yes" nothing happens. Anybody know what happened? And how do I fix it? I just wish I'd written down some of the newer passwords! LOL!

Thanks,
tvme

PA firefox 4 is a great fail!

Submitted by KOS-tas on May 16, 2011 - 2:17pm

hello dev's

i hate version 4 from ff, because mozila make a big step back(now is also IE9 better).

i have much problems with this version, the biggest two are, the "plugin container" and the process in TaskManager from firefox not down after closing ff4.
for the first problem have i change the "config" in firefox but the problem with not closed proces is wrong.

can i whitout problems downgrade PA ff4 to PA ff3.6?

Firefox portable losing plugins directory

Submitted by Also on May 3, 2011 - 11:10am

I'm sure I've had this before but can't recall the fix.
FF4 was working fine with various plugins.
I ran auto-update and FF4.01 restarted- to show no Flash etc.

Now I turn on about:config to show full URL (set plugin.expose_full_path to true), go to about:plugins and ALL plugins are on C drive, it's not picked up those on the portable drive.

This happened before after an update but can't recall how I fixed it.
I have already tried reinstalling FF4.01 over the top incase the updater was broken.
I have already deleted "pluginreg" in \PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile.

Custome Settings & Addons Missing or Resetting between Computers.

Custome Settings & Addons Missing or Resetting between Computers.

Windows x64, Firefox 4.0.1
Over the weekend I added & deleted a few addons, customized my toolbars.
Closed normally, all is well.
Come to work, fire up FFP and all my changes are not there. All the 'old' addons I deleted are back, & none of the new addons or toolbar changes are there.
Kind of defeats the purpose of a portable app if it's not saving properly.

More details.
Firefox is not installed on either PC
I am the Admin of both PCs
Path on PC 1 is D:\FirefoxPortable
