Firefox Portable

Portable FF running on internal hard drive

Submitted by Blueandwhitearmy on June 17, 2009 - 3:39pm

Hello everybody.

Apologies in advance for a rather basic query.

My Grandparents have been having a few problems with IE on their Desktop PC. I was planning to download portable firefox so they can see whether they get on with FF any better before eventually doing a “proper” install of the program. I wasn’t going to use the launcher, just run portable FF off the internal hard drive of the PC with a shortcut on the desktop. I just wanted to double check that using portable Firefox this way over an extended period of time was ok and wouldn’t cause any problems? Thanks

If FireFox is already installed, can that be launched instead?

Hi all,

I am distributing a web site on CD for some users who need to use it in environment where they do not have internet access.

The protection mode in Internet Explorer prevents it from accessing local flash files, so I can't allow the user to open the site off the CD in Explorer as it simply won't work.

Install and run portable Firefox alongside with regular Firefox

I am currently experiencing some crash problem with Firebug extension on Firefox, so I want to see if I can install and run portable Firefox on the same system with only the Firebug extension. I wish to have both the regular Firefox and portable Firefox running at the same time, is this possible? Thanks.

Firefox portable unbranded

Submitted by Kranzfred on June 15, 2009 - 6:16am

Hi all,

can I (or better: someone) create an "unbranded" Firefox Portable?
e.g. that firefoxportable.exe becomes ABACUS.exe und firefox.exe CONNECT.exe or anything And no file that has *portableapps* included into filename.
In summary there should be a firefox portable, that in invisible for e.g. filescans. that it couldn't be found.

please help me.

thanks a lot!

What .SQLITE file I gotta delete..?

Now what .SQLITE file I gotta delete if my Portable Firefox won't search from the search box? This happened in an older version, and just recently cropped up in 3.0.11. As I recall, uninstall/reinstall is only good for a day or so, if that; there's a .SQLITE file in the profile that gets corrupted, and a reinstall doesn't help, but deleting the file does.

search.sqlite?
urlclassifier3.sqlite?
formhistory.sqlite?
places.sqlite?
