Firefox Portable

I would like to block some adds that are annoying on some of the websites I go to. Normally I would just add the domain name to the HOST file and set the IP to 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1. I did this with FF Portable but the adds are still coming up. Is FFP accessing a different file or bypassing the hosts file all together?

Also, since I don't want to mess with someone elses computer settings can this be done within FFP's settings?

can anyone help me installing the shockwave plugin in ff portable

when i vist a shockwave games site it says not installed, but i have copied the shockwave files in to the plugins folder

help?

A few Firefox extensions have proven to be incompatible with Firefox 3.5, so this topic is dedicated to those that are not and ways around them.

Hello all,

I was running FF 3.0.11 I think, and I was having some issues with that version starting to lag. So I updated to the most recent version (3.5 I think) Now, no matter what version I have installed on my flash drive FF won't open. Everytime I attempt to open, it states that another version is already running. I konw that no other FF browsers are open, so I am not sure what to do?

I think I first noticed it in 3.0.10. It was in 3.0.11 for sure and it's in 3.5 as well.

The most common thing is I will be typing and the text will stop appearing on screen. I can keep typing, and after a few seconds, it will all spill out at once. It does this regularly, sometimes in every sentence I type.

Scrolling is similar, it's like it completely stops responding and I've got to wait for it to catch up. Sometimes it just goes completely unresponsive, and won't do anything until it's done doing whatever it is it's doing.

Im using the FF 3.0 Portable on a DVD to be executed on XP and Vista by autorun to give a seamless execution and easy feel of use.

I already saw the recommendations on :

https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#performance
https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#cd

And almost everything works as expected

The problem.

On some machines, when FFportable begins the window of "New Extension Installed" appears on screen, because it detected installed extensions on the machine ( like the Windows .NET assistant, Flash, java, whatever )

hi,

i was looking for ff portable 2.0.0.20 but i'm either blind or it can't be found on the download page? any ideas how to get it?

thanks in advance.

Hi All

When I log onto a certain web cafe's pc with my portable ff, the AVG on that PC shows up in the addons (safe search & toolbar) and I have to turn them and their features off.

can I stop it doing this?

When FFP is copied from one place to other, all extensions seem to be lost, thought they look like they are still in place. This happends even when the new path has same length or just the drive letter chnages by this. All works but the extensions.

Hi all,

May I know how to copy all the settings, add-ons and plugins from portable firefox to an installed firefox ?

Thanks
