Firefox; Spell checker; 'forgeting' words over different computers.

Submitted by gimfred on October 15, 2009 - 11:37pm

I'm loving firefox portable but the one thing that has been annoying me is that the spell checker seems to forget what words I put into it.

For instance, being Australian, I use (a lot!) 'ise' words instead of 'ize' words as in: 'realise' instead of USA's 'realize'. Every time I switch a computer, even one I have been to before, I need to 'correct' my spelling.

Why would it saving the spell checker to places that it forgets between computers?

PFF not opening - what do I do to make it work

Submitted by marcb on October 14, 2009 - 8:56am

When I double click on the exe in the folder, up comes the splash screen, but FF itself doesn't open. Can anyone give me some advice to make it work.

I moved it from one folder to another and that could be the problem. I am also using Live Mesh to sync my desktop folder between PS's, if that has a factor. When I click on the "Live Mesh online" link, it opens FF, with no problem.

Moving from Vista machine to Xp machine

Submitted by kashga on October 12, 2009 - 1:17am

I've been running FF on a Vista machine, and then I went to an XP machine, and created bookmarks. When I moved back to the Vista machine, none of those bookmarks appear. Is it something to do with reading and writing sqlite files under the different operating systems ?

Similar things happened in my Thunderbird.

Reset Default

I use Firefox Portable from day one, and during this time I made some mods that I totally forgot how and where. Now I have some problems with tabs size, and font display. I unpacked latest release 3.5.3 several times, and move Data folder inside, but problems still present.
I don't want to lose my passwords, and history, How should i do Reset Default Settings, or What should I move to a new Portable Firefox so that i have my pass, history, bookmarks and add-ons?

No longer loading? Impact from Norton NIS 2010

Submitted by jale on October 7, 2009 - 2:18pm

If your Firefox Portable no longer loads, it may be because you have installed/upgraded Norton NIS to 2010. This installs (whether you want it or not, even in Firefox Portable) 2 Norton extensions (Norton IPS 2.0 and Norton Toolbar 4.0) that are incompatible with several other extensions (such as IE View) and prevent Firefox 3.5.x from even starting. As a solution, you can disable these Norton extensions by first starting Firefox in safe-mode.

Passwords are not remembered

Submitted by smb on October 6, 2009 - 3:27pm

I have installed release 3.5.3 on a thumb drive. I have set a master password as well as checked "Remember site password". Neither of these functions are working. I can start Firefox Portable with no log in and site passwords are not remembered.

Any suggestions for fixing?

Thanks for your help.

Cannot store bookmarks in WAMPP

Hello all.

I am rebuilding my website in a local server environment (Server2Go), and each time I shut the local server down I lose FFportable bookmarks.

I am wondering if anyone has worked with Server2Go (or something similar) and figured out a way to conserve bookmarks from session to session.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Roscopico
