Running a self contained website with FFP from USB

Submitted by Gideon on February 26, 2010 - 4:59am

Some help and advice please !

I am trying to run a mini website direct from USB stick - BUT I want it to open with FFP [installed on the stick] no matter which PC I plug into.

It is basically an educational tool which will be used by 'non-techies' - and relies on various plugins which all need to be installed on the stick too - so it 'just works'

Any ideas please?

Thanks,

G

I can't log into anything in Firefox

Submitted by jweb05 on February 25, 2010 - 10:14am

I can't log into any of my accounts it seems with the exception of this one. Gmail, newegg, ebay, delicious, facebook, etc. all wont log in on firefox. I go to the home pages and then click the login button but then it does nothing and just sits there and acts like its constantly loading. I never actually get to the log in screen. I have tried the trick of typing about:config and changing the "network.http.sendRefererHeader" to 1, mine was set at 2, and that still didn't do anything.

Firefox Port won't save bookmarks

Submitted by decemberist on February 23, 2010 - 3:57pm

Okay, so forgive me if I sound like a total idiot, this is my first time posting on here and I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to computers. I do my best, though.

Anyway,
I just recently updated my firefox portable to the newest version and now it won't save any new bookmarks and I lost my (stumbleupon)toolbar and I can't get it to reinstall.

Quite confused about Firefox auto-updating

Submitted by BuckDanny on February 21, 2010 - 8:14pm

Mozilla has released Firefox 3.5.8 on 17/02/2010 (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.5.8/releasenotes/). Usually, PA.c publishes a paf-version within one or two days, but not this time. Which brings me to re-consider the question of whether Firefox can be allowed to auto-update itself (i.e. updating from within Firefox). For a long time, it was made quite clear to users that they shouldn't use auto-update, but download the new .paf from PA.c instead. In fact, all the key support pages still claim that.

Flash no longer works

Submitted by Bruce Pascoe on February 20, 2010 - 2:54pm

Not sure what's going on here, whether it's Flash's fault or FFP's, but the issue is definitely specific to FFP, so I'm posting it here. Ever since I updated my Flash plugin to 10.0.44.32 to 10.0.45.2, Flash no longer works in Firefox Portable. I mean, the area on the page dedicated to the flash applet is properly set aside, but the flash movie itself doesn't play at all, it's just... blank.

In a local copy of Firefox, Flash works just fine, and so will FFP if it's using the local copy of Flash, but if there's an npswf32.dll in the FirefoxPortable directory, it doesn't work.

looking for old firefox 1.5.0.4 portable

Submitted by yjd on February 17, 2010 - 2:14pm

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum.

The hospital I'm working for is going to use a new software that is only compatible with FireFox 1.5.0.4. I manage to find, download and install the 1.5.0.4. Though, I would like to get a portable version of it.

Could you point me to a location where I could find it?
Or could you tell me where I can get the information to create my own Firefox 1.5.0.4 portable?

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,
Yael
