Firefox Crash

Submitted by dEal on February 13, 2011 - 7:08am

I was unable to work properly cause my FF portable crash. I run FF in private mode browsing by default.

I have 4 tabs on the boot (gmail, meebo, linkedin, cajamadrid all with https) and Im behind a Corporate proxy. When I try to open a new tab, maybe two, FF suddendly crash. Then, the crash report "crash" too when I try to send it. (Seems that the Gmail and Meebo tabs have problems to load properly too).

Modifying and adding things - legality?

Submitted by 0ptriX on February 4, 2011 - 2:47pm

Hello all,

I have a university project in which I have to investigate creating my university's own flavour of Firefox, which won't be used or distributed to anyone other than a specific student group. I'm quite interested in using Firefox Portable, however after some looking around it looks as if others have wanted to change things such as splash screens, and they've run into issues in terms of legality.

Google Earth plugin for Firefox Portable

Submitted by bpmackow on January 30, 2011 - 8:47pm

So a little while ago I created a thread (under a different username that I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to have) about not being able to use the Google Earth plugin with Firefox Portable.

I was asking about why when I put the plugin into the portable plugins folder, Firefox found it, but Google Maps said there was an error.

This was 1 to 1.5 weeks ago. I searched four different forums, and a I used the search feature, and I can't seem to find it. It ought to be under the Firefox forum.

I am just an idiot, or is it really not there?

Upgrading beta9 to beta10 (SourceForge outage)

Submitted by saronno on January 30, 2011 - 2:34am

As we know, FF4b10 is not currently available for download. However I saw you have recently published, in the beta10 page of this site, the following notice:

--Beta 9 is available and may be auto-updated to Beta 10--

Which could be a perfect solution of the "problem" to all people who have already downloaded and installed beta9. My beta9, actually, has already asked me to let it update to beta10.

More "mailto"

Submitted by Ellsinore on January 27, 2011 - 1:55am

I see there's an issue with FFPortable and Thunderbird Portable. But I'm not using Thunderbird Portable -- I just want the mailto links in FFPortable to open a composition window in Thunderbird, which is my default email client. But I get the "Thunderbird is already running . . ." message, instead of a composition window. (And it is my default client. FF, Chrome and all my other applications are recognizing it as such.)

I found this:
