Password stored not filled in

Submitted by DADSGETNDOWN on October 24, 2010 - 9:14pm

At Hotmail and Cnet.com the FFP Password Manager has my user names and passwords but it does not fill them in, it does here and google, although google is another small problem, I have different passwords at google and youtube, but when I store my youtube PW is stores it for google.com, so when I go to google it puts in the PW for yuotube. (1) I would like to try and fix one of the 2 problems there, and (2) and I better off using keeppasssafe ?

Hey, i have been using portable firefox for a while now and well i noticed it has one big error or fault in it and i'd like it if anyone cares to help me find a solution.

So here goes.

I opened a tab before and never realized what it was and after i did not long after the tab took over all my bookmarks. In other words when you look at bookmarks it says the same thing over and over again and replaces my old bookmarks.

I tried to delete it but it's no use and i tried to refresh firefox and reinstalling it but no use.

How-to: Minefield/Firefox beta 8

Submitted by espo111 on October 14, 2010 - 3:03pm

This is how I just was able to use Firefox beta 8 (aka minefield).

Having Portable Firefox 4 beta 6 already installed, I went here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

and downloaded:

firefox-4.0b8pre.en-US.win32.zip

Then I replaced the firefox old Firefox folder with the extracted firefox folder here:

\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableTest\App

then run this:

\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableTest\FirefoxPortable.exe

and you now have bleeding edge Firefox, with all the bugs it contains.... it is fast though.

Stopping FireFox Portable from Importing My Extensions

Submitted by DeadIntoIt on October 8, 2010 - 6:44pm

When I installed the Portable Apps suite on my "Imitation 2Gig thumb Drive" FireFox imported all of my extensions including RoboForm with all my logins etc.

How can I install the suite and end up with nothing but a clean install of all apps having imported none of my local settings, extensions or bookmarks?

I want to use this drive for business not personal so I can only have business information on it.

Firefox microfreezes... why?

Submitted by espo111 on October 7, 2010 - 12:35pm

I am using Firefox 4, Beta 6, but this happens with 3.x as well. I have even tried to use all memory cache and it seems to still happen. But FF constantly writes to my flash drive, even while typing. and freezes for brief seconds (1-2).

There is even a delay when simply clicking the menu bar (file, edit, view) or choosing settings under tools, options. when ever I touch anything in FF it reads/writes to the flash drive. As I am typing now, the flashdrive is R/W, and there are no other portable apps open.

For the last few days when I use my firefoxportable v 3.6.10 I am now getting a weird pop-up window that says this

[javascript-application]

Do you want to download it to C:\Users\charlie\ ?

no matter how many times I click "cancel" it pops again dozens of times while Im on one page.If I say "yes" it downloads small litle images from the webpage such as icons from the webpage often with ".cur" at the end.But also .ico and other icon types.
