Firefox Portable

Hi,

How can I install the Media Player 11 plugin for firefox onto my stick ?

Thanks

portable firefox is god awful. Used in various internet cafes, it's tortuously slow – that's when it's not "not responding". If you're mentally challenged and take 5min for each mouse-click then this is for you.

my FF is installed at G:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable. i would like to back up my bookmarks, but i can't find the file. i did find G:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\bookmarkbackups\bookmarks-2009-12-05.json but i guess this is a backup not the real bookmark file.

I had hoped that FF Portable runs independently of FF Fixed, but I get

Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other
instances of Firefox before launching Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition.

I need other instances. Any workaround? Thanks.

Hello there,

at work I use a virtual machine loaded inside virtual PC 2007 most of the time.

Since I don't want to install a lot of application in it, I tought to map a directory inside the virtual machine to the usb key containing Portable Apps plugged in the host system.

The platform loads smoothly, because the menu is as it should be and it even changes my wallpaper. I am also able to run and use Pidgin.

Firefox however load and run but extensions and bookmarks are all disabled. Even the address bar is not working.

Hi all,

I just installed the PortableApps package on my USB stick. All programs run as advertised except Firefox (3.5.5). It fails to load any pages. Chrome works fine from my stick, and connectivity from my work PC running IE is fine.

I guess it's a bad install?

Advice appreciated.

1. When I enable a pop-up from a site such as Google Mail, this is not permanently saved; the next time I run I need to enable it again. (Also available from Tools|Options..., Content Tab, dialog from Block Popup Windows Exceptions button).

2. Security certificate exceptions cannot be permanently stored (Tools|Options..., Advanced Tab, Encryption Tab, click View Certificates, and then in the new dialog click Add Certificate). If the 'Permanently Store This Exception' is checked, clicking Confirm Security Exception does nothing.

Hi to all.

I have a problem where firefoxportable is creating a directory in [user]\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox and does not delete it when closed. I am using the latest firefoxportable. I can see the \mozilla\firefox directory structure under [user]\application data\ and it seems to be where all the extensions are used and is deleted when the apps is closed.

Do you all think I have an extension that is creating this directory under "[user]\local settings\application data\mozilla\firefox?"

Should it be creating this directory under both:

I desperately want to run two instances of firefox at the same time (a local one and a portable one) and YET have the freedom to have secondary launches with both (see, I want to use this amazing program to choose which one I want to use whenever I click on a link in a program/url in windows explorer). I've learnt here that firefox portable simply doesn't support secondary launches in Multiple Instances mode.

...how do you get all pages on a site to the same zoom settings?

When I surf Newegg, some pages have the text way too large. Others, it's normal, but when I try to normalize the large text, it makes the pages with normal text unreadable (the text becomes too small).

Greasefire offers no solutions for Greasemonkey, so it can't be too widespread a problem.

Is there a way to reset the zoom settings, in case it's something stupid I did?
