Firefox Portable

Installing Tor

Submitted by anon_private on March 28, 2010 - 7:37am

I have downloaded portable FF and have installed the Tor Button.

I now need to connect to the Tor network.

Can someone tell me what plugin I need, or any other method.

Is Tor, the best choice?

Thanks

What is flashplayer.xpt for?

Submitted by portablealpha on March 27, 2010 - 4:16pm

I've been using (and updating) flash player successfully for a while now by copying just the NPSWF32.dll file to my FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins directory.

From what I've read on forums, though, you're also supposed to copy the flashplayer.xpt file. But mine works fine without it. So what does the .xpt file do exactly? Just curious. Thanks.

Edit: Could it be that the .xpt file is necessary, but FFP is reading it from the Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash directory (while reading the updated .dll from the portable directory)?

Firefox cache

My concern is I want to minimize read-writes to the EeePC 900 netbook SSD.

I understand any browser caches a lot. I don't have Bookmarks caching webpages or favicons, however, there are so many things a broswer will cache.

My question is: does Portable Apps Firefox cache to the SD card?

I have my Portable Apps on a SD card.

Problems with autocompletion

Submitted by MichelJ on March 23, 2010 - 4:20am

Updated my portable 3.5 version to the 3.6 version, in the same way as I always do.

Before I moved the 3.5 version around from pc to pc, with no problems whatever.

Now, when I type in an url, firefox doesn't show a list of suggestions from the history. When I check history everything's there, when I go through google for that link, the link in the google search is highlighted, meaning I have indeed already been to that site. But firefox doesn't give me the list.

When I download the flash from the link given on this website, it's a very old flash, from 2009.

Where and how do I install the very latest flash for firefox?

Atm, I have Flash version 10,0,32,18, but the latest is 10.0.45.2.

Cheers.
