Firefox Portable

Hello,

i'm using Windows Server 2008 and i have the problem that if i get a link via ICQ, IRC, XMPP or whatever it gets openend with Internet Explorer.. it can't be changed at Software Configuration because Win2008 doesn't understand that FF exists .. is there anything that i could do to make links that have been sent to me are being opened with FF ?

Thank you!

It's not saving the favicons of websites (imported bookmarks anyway)(one exception - the portable apps site; the FF link folder bookmarks also show the icons). Not sure if that's an FF issue or just a problem with the portable version, but I wanted to mention it.

It has come to my attention that MicroSoft windows update adds (silently) an Firefox addon called "Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.0" which function is to enable software do silent install software on the machine. Somehow the addon was added to my FireFox portable, so not all users may have this. It's a bad thing that this addon enables software to be installed silently, but it becomes worse..

Hi folks,

I am in trouble with my IT department for using my USB to run Firefox at work. I am getting grilled tomorrow for disciplinary actions--anyone care to explain how running Firefox portable is not a security risk for the network so I have some ammunition? I work in a public library BTW.

Thanks a million.

T.D.

Apart from using a third party website, like X-marks, is there any way to synchronize my firefox favorites from my "main"-pc and the portable firefox ?

In Portable Firefox 3.0.10 is it possible to add the Google toolbar to the usb drive that Portable Firefox is installed so it will always be there even when not installed on the local hard drive. If so, how do I do this.

I just found my USB drive with PortableApps on it and decided I needed to update Portable Firefox. I also decided to update all the add-ons and add a couple of new ones.

Thanks to the FAQ, I downloaded the latest version (3.0.10) and installed it using the PortableApps menu. The program runs fine, and when I searched for updates to the add-ons it downloaded them and ran through the usual installation steps. One didn't update because of a file error, but I'll get that later. I also added Tabs Mix Plux and Xmarks.

Hi

Is there any add-on to see pdf files on firefox?, I mean without open a pdf reader.

Thanks a lot

in the last 48 hours, every embedded youtube video just shows a white rectangle rather than the player.

embeds from every other video player site work, and youtube.com videos work. so it's just something broken with the embeds.

when i run firefox.exe it works fine, but when i run firefoxportable.exe it's broken.

i don't recall changing anything in browser that would affect this.

how can i troubleshoot this without erasing all my bookmarks/history/stored passwords/plugins and just starting over?

thanks

I've been wanting to install the shockwave plugin for firefox, but I don't have admin rights. I have access to a computer that has admin rights, if that helps. When I searched for ways to install the plugin it said that I had to redirect the installer or something to FFP, i can't do this. Thanks
