I installed FF Portable 3.5.3 and now I cannot mark as read in Google Reader using the Shift+A shortcuts. A key feature for me since I use an extremely minimized version of Reader.

I will roll back to 3.5.2 and update this with whether that restores the functionality.

Firefox Portable deletes symlinks

Submitted by itegumo on September 16, 2009 - 10:54am

I use a regular Firefox install on my PC, and Firefox Portable on my USB. On my PC, I moved the C:\Users\\Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla folder to a separate partition, and used the mklink command in Win7 to symlink it. All worked fine until I ran Firefox Portable on my PC... When it exited, it deleted the symlink. This is the only portable app I've used that deletes symlinks. I've done the same thing with Pidgin's .purple folder, Thunderbird's folder, etc, and those portable apps don't mess with my symlinks.

I want to download Mozilla Firefox portable browser or any other portable browser that you recommend on my USB pen drive for the purpose of downloading web-pages,Google videos and you tube videos directly on my pen drive and viewing them all offline and my Internet speed here is slow also.

Then, what are the portable FREE soft-wares to be installed including security

soft-wares(s)?.Soft-wares names and their website addresses?

Trouble with https

Submitted by paperboy on September 11, 2009 - 8:06pm

I installed FF 3.5 on my thumbdrive. It works good, except:

Whenever I visit an address with https I get an error:
"Connection was reset".

I've seen this happen on both yahoo mail login and my local bank login.

I took the thumbdrive to work, entered in the proxy information for the work network, no problems.

I took it back home, removed the proxy information, same problem. Regular http sites work fine, but https does not work.
