Firefox Portable

flash player 10 on system, but not on pap ff

Submitted by wolf99 on February 15, 2010 - 2:33pm

hey all

I have 2 installs of FF, one regular full clean version and a portable version that has all my addons for dev etc.

I have flash player 10 working ok in the full install. but I still get the adobe prompt to install if I use the portable version.

Have tried using the flash installer on the PA FF page but it gives me a script error when it trys to install. (downloaded ok)

I copied the plugins folder across fro#m the full to portable but still no joy...

Flash in FF3.6 doesn't work after OS upgrade

Submitted by foxcole on February 12, 2010 - 2:47pm

I've been using portable FF 3.6 since it was first released, running on Vista Home Premium, and all plugins and add-ons worked correctly.

But a couple of days ago I upgraded my OS to Windows 7 Home Premium, clean install (reformatted and started over). Now the Flash plugin doesn't appear to work, although NPSWF32.dll is there in the Data\Plugins folder.

I have not reinstalled Flash yet locally--I thought at first I wouldn't need to because I thought it was bundled with some other software. But to verify, I searched the hard drive for that dll and it's not there.

[Closed] FirefoxPortable2ndProfile works only with default paths

Submitted by Bart.S on February 12, 2010 - 8:49am

Meh, why hard-coding all the paths in a portable release. Paradox and not customizable Sad
Have a look at Diashapes Portable (not supported anymore, works with Dia 0.97 only) and Dia Portable. User could set custom install paths, settingsdirectory, appdirectory ... and with the proper ini-entries it just works. Always.

Oh, and there is a major bug:

Firefox 3.7 Alpha 1

Submitted by ksc3 on February 10, 2010 - 11:45pm

Dear Mr. Haller,

I just wanted to mention that the Firefox Portable (Minefield) 3.7 Alpha 1 download will no longer install because the Minefield has upgraded to FF 3.7 Alpha 2. It's not a big deal, but I just thought I would mention it.

Sincerely,
Kent Coley

Firefox slow, throws up script errors and crashes - Windows XP

Submitted by Sin Mafia on February 8, 2010 - 10:16am

I just installed Portable Apps suite for the first time on a 4GB hard drive. I have tried to run Firefox and each time it takes about 5 minutes to start up and before it finishes loading it states that it cannot run a script if I continue it eventually loads but then crashes. I just tested it on Windows Vista and Firefox works fine, it only fails on Windows XP. Any suggestions?
