Firefox Portable v3.6

Submitted by Elljl on January 22, 2010 - 11:37pm

I uninstalled the Firefox 3.0 version that came on the PortableApps.com Suite Standard, then installed Firefox 3.6. The thing is, though, I deleted the Firefox app link in the PortableApps.com platform. Now that I have the 3.6 version installed, there is no link. How can I get one there?

Upgraded to 3.6, now its slow!

Okay so I foolishly upgraded 3.5.7 to 3.6 by overwriting it instead of installing in a new folder.

I had previously done all the things you do to make firefox portable go fast (from following a guide online) and firefox was so fast it was better than my desktop version.

BUT now, I seem to be having an old problem I used to have where there would be intermittent pauses (sometimes lasting up to 15 seconds) in general use of firefox.

Unusual Java issue

Submitted by ksc3 on January 21, 2010 - 1:55pm

I have an unusual issue that I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions about resolving. I use Firefox Portable (running from the computer's hard drive) at work, but one application is unable to recognize that the needed version of Java is available. What makes it strange is that Zach Thibeau's version of GNU Icecat doesn't have the same problem. I have tried installing Java Portable with no success, although the minimum version of Java needed for the application is in the Java 5 series.

For those who are upgrading Firefox Portable to 3.6 RC 1, I thought I should give you the following notes.

1) Disable All-in-One Sidebar (AiOS) before upgrading, if you have this installed -- This add-on will cause a major visual malfunction & render 3.6 RC 1 inoperable.

2) Install Add-on Compatibility Reporter( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 ) -- This will allow you to enable add-ons that aren't originally supported for 3.6 RC 1 & lets you submit report for those so you can help the add-on developers as well as other users.
