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.

Bookmarks

My current fox got borked by Flash. Despite serious repair efforts to correct the problem.....so far no go, so I reverted to my last good Fox backup (maybe 2 months old).

However I'm having a difficult time bringing my current bookmarks to my 2 month old backup. Both versions have 'Bookmark Backup' extension installed if it will be of any help.

I HATE ADOBE, well maybe not hate but...................

Problem with new 3.5.7 italian version

Submitted by kuabba82 on January 8, 2010 - 5:42am

Hi. I've tried to update my firefox portable in italian, but I have seen there's a problem. The update file for italian version is about 400 kb, too small...and when I tried to update firefox didn't work...
Luckyly I've a copy on my HDD so I can use previous version, but I hope you'll work to re-update the italian version correctly.
Thanks.
