Firefox Portable

MultipleFirefoxLoader.exe missing

Submitted by LionAM on May 24, 2009 - 5:47pm

Hello,
in older versions of PortableFirefox, there was the
file MultipleFirefoxLoader.exe where you could start
multiple instances of Firefox (with different profiles).
In the new version, it is missing.

Can I download it anywhere?

Now, you can start multiple windows with the same profile,
which is really nice, as this was not possible with the
old version (for example when a download was running and
you wanted to reopen firefox) - but you cannot start firefox
when another instance (with another profile) is running.

Make Java work?

Submitted by SofiaAgapao on May 24, 2009 - 11:42am

Hello, I am running Firefox Portable and trying to get Java to work. It works perfectly in Internet Explorer; I just prefer to use FF. Based on advice from other sites, I tried opening the control panel, going to Advanced, and checking the Mozilla Family option under Default Java for Browsers. But every time I click "Apply" and then "Okay" it seems to reset itself. In other words, every time I check to see that the option has been enabled, the Mozilla Family option is unticked. I've tried choosing the option several times, but it keeps resetting.

problem with bookmark addons in Portable Firefox 3.0.10

Submitted by raza on May 24, 2009 - 3:47am

I am having a problem since upgrading to Portable FF 3.0.10. My Gbookmarks button does not display the bookmarks anymore. When I try to log in through the button I get an error message saying ‘could not log in, check password’. But, if I go to Google page and then log in from there I am able to log in. After that clicking on the bookmarks button shows that I am logged in, but it does not display the bookmarks. I have tried to remove and uninstall the button and I have tried using another button called 'Deng Google Bookmarks' but all have the same problem.

Please help.

Javascript is too fast how do I slow it down? Also FireFox sometimes doesn't close and I need to kill the process.

Submitted by Free Ware on May 22, 2009 - 4:07pm

The javascript is greatly accelerated for some reason. It runs faster than any other browser, but doesn't load faster if you know what I mean. And that is Google chrome is faster at loading, but runs at the intended speed. While FireFox runs the script as fast as possible. So, how can I slow it down to get java based web apps to run as intended. Also I think this could be a problem with flash instead of jave, but I don't know.

Profile Manager for FFP

Submitted by Zepholos on May 22, 2009 - 5:41am

Hi. I've read through several posts about FFP and other portable apps like Thunderbird and is it correct that there is no Profile Manager for FFP?

I'm trying to set up 2 different profiles on my thumb drive for me and my son. I've tried to run FirefoxPortable.exe -ProfileManager through the command line and it doesn't work. I read a thread that if you use the -ProfileManager command line with FirefoxPortable.exe that it passes that command line to the Firefox.exe application in the App\Firefox\ folder, but that's not true, because it didn't work.

Changing FFP cache location

Submitted by Atos26 on May 20, 2009 - 12:02pm

Is there a way to tell FFP to use computer's default Temp folder for caching instead of Profile/Cache directory? When I use the browser from my flash drive, multiple writes to it are not very healthy for the flash memory and also considerably slower.
For example, Opera saves those files to C:/Documents and Settings/"user account"/Local Settings/Temp and later deletes them all when closed. Thanks.
