Submitted by Boyle62593 on June 3, 2010 - 10:32am

Hey guys I am trying to play a game called Runescape in school, I am using a flash drive for Firefox portable and java portable, I have seen many guides on how to use it, but as you know most school have almost any site blocked, but that is not the issue I can get around that. I am here for help on how to get Firefox portable and java portable to work at my school, it works at home but, when I plug it in at school it doesn't seem to find it. When I got to the game site it says i need to install java runtime environment.

Bookmarks disappear

Submitted by Airazz on May 31, 2010 - 5:24pm

I have a bunch of bookmarks in Firefox Portable. One of them keeps disappearing. I mean, I connect the USB, launch the software, open Firefox and the link is missing. I add it, it works. But just until I close the Firefox. If I open it, the link is missing again. It kept happening with one particular link (I think it was tinyurl.com website), now it's another perfectly normal, usual link. All other themes and pug-ins work fine. I have plenty of empty space on my USB. What is the problem?

CD drive number issue - again

Submitted by dmagill on May 26, 2010 - 2:08pm

I apologize for bring this up again... and possibly again... and yet again

I have a educational CD going out to some pretty extreme places. Most have no Internet, so your FFP is a great product and it was easy to setup with Flash.

Currently I am working off a jump drive. I followed the CD creation steps, and have burned a CD, in both instances I run into the drive letter issue.

Firefox Portable Acting Up

Submitted by dhartsoc on May 26, 2010 - 1:05am

Just yesterday some of my extensions quit loading, as well as the theme I use. Would this be a corrupted Profile, and is there anything I can do about it? My passwords are all still there, as well as bookmarks.

First noted this on a Windows 7 netbook, and again today on XP computers at work. At one point I reinstalled the Whitehart theme and all the missing extensions were restored. At home tonight they are gone again as is the theme.

Oh,Firefox Portable 3.6.3

working "offline" and animatd gifs

Submitted by tvme on May 18, 2010 - 10:40am

I'm stuck with dial-up. I often leave Firefox open and minimized when I go off line. About half the time, when I reconnect, the "work offline" doodad is checked. Its just annoying. The older version of FF didn't do that. The only non "portable-apps" applications on my USB drive are RQ Money and Monex. Is something "calling home"?

Any way to make FF stop doing that?

BUG: Secure web site causes BSOD

Submitted by Xeriphas1994 on May 17, 2010 - 10:12pm

Hello all. I use Firefox Portable 3.6 on my WinXP SP3 desktop machine, and in addition to various crashes, I get a BSOD pretty regularly when visiting the US Navy Human Resources site (https://chart.donhr.navy.mil). I may or may not have the nerve to do further testing, although I do have the last RAM dump if needed. I think the only extra extensions I've added are Flash 10.0 and Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.2.

Firefox loads default settings in one circumstance

Submitted by patrick013 on May 17, 2010 - 10:11am

Hello,

There's probably an answer to this somewhere but my search didn't give me
an exact solution. Everything works OK except when I try to load a website
from a program and FirefoxPortable is closed in XP on the harddrive. A Firefox
appears with only default settings. The other Firefox is OK if loaded
first.

I cannot set FirefoxPortable as default browser in XP custom access/defaults
because it isn't listed, but it is the default browser according to Firefox
Portable options.

FirefoxPortable is the only Firefox on the HD. Everything works OK if FirefoX
