Firefox Portable

I wonder if someone can just clarify this for me, regarding the version numbering scheme they use with Firefox.

3.6.15 is higher than 3.6.6?

I'm asking because I would den to assume zeroes after the last 6, so version 60, and if it was just six it should be 06, ie 3.6.06

But perhaps that is just me?

Hi,

I tried to do the standard process, i.e. np32dsw.dll to the plugins folder but no luck there is a fixed image displayed on the adobe shockwave test page.

Any one could make it ?

I just started using Firefox 4 Portable for testing, and I notice that the icons for it combine on the taskbar, which doesn't happen with the Fx3 icons. Why? what change in PAF/Fx causes this? any "fix"? (It's going to be a real pain to have to open the preview every time to select the instance I want instead of just clicking on it in the taskbar.)

Thanks.

Hi,

I just read a post asking about updating and saw there is and automatic updater included with the latest release. Before I get the new version, is there an option to turn this off, just not down load, or uninstall?

I don't want ANYTHING updating or calling home without permission. My normal internet connection is limited. I only update applications at libraries.

Thanks,
Bob

I discovered today that the default setting in Firefox Portable is to have the cache be set to 0 MB. This results in Firefox running very slowly. So by simply increasing the cache size, to say 75 MB, it will run significantly faster.

So if any of you are noticing Firefox Portable running slowly, try increasing the cache size.

When I set AllowMultipleInstances=True, Firefox will not start another copy. It only allow multiple instances when it is set to False. It has been like this for some time.

I wish to save the Firefox start page of the 4.0 beta 12 portable version, a Google search page containing the Firefox logo, but in the navigation tab there appears only "about:home" instead of the usual URL address. When I entered "about:home" in version 3.6, it made no sense. Please could someone advise how the about:home can be translated into a URL that can be inserted in the usual navigation tab in another browser.

I would like some clarification on the best procedure to update Firefox Portable.

Obviously, the easiest way to do it is through the app's update feature. However, while the forum FAQ says that's fine, the support FAQ says that it may leave some extraneous data behind, and some of the forum posts say it will screw up Add-ons/Extensions.

What is the correct answer as to how using the internal update feature will affect things?

Please remove 3.6.14 from the download immediately, as there is a LOT of problems with it breaking certain Java applets etc.

They released 3.6.15 to fix it.

Is there any way I can salvage some data, or do I need to go back to my last backup of it? My USB Stick still appears to work, it's just that Firefox Portable is now not working on any computer I've plugged the USB Stick into (2 tried so far). Even Safe Mode doesn't seem to work.

Best regards,
Steven.
