Firefox restrictions affecting performance

Submitted by IceCKryss on May 7, 2009 - 11:24am

Hi, I've been using the PortableApps software for long time, and have enjoyed nearly every minute of it. Though one error has kept me wishing Firefox was easier to manage. I typically use 3 different computers on a daily basis, and have admin rights only on the first one, my home computer. Now this isn't typically a problem, as I can install Portable Apps from all 3 of them. What is my problem is Firefox's inability to be used on any more than one.

Startup Problem

Submitted by eluc on May 6, 2009 - 9:36am

Hi,
I updated 3.0.9 to 3.0.10.
I forgot PortableFirefox open, so the installer ask me to close any istances.
I did so and pushed again "install".
After the installation, Firefox doesn't start anymore. I see the startup logo, but nothing else.
I installed a fresh copy, but nothing changes.
Does something controlled by the running instance during update prevent FF to start again?
Somebody can help me?
Thanks

Updating by new install

Well, due to some issue, users are recommended
to update Portable Firefox by new installation.
But which directory should be selected during update installation?
Portable Apps->Firefox Portable?
Or some other in the pen-drive directory tree?

By default Portable Firefox installation selects "\FirefoxPortable"
as the installation folder. What is the root of this path?
To the pen-drive's root? Or C:\Program Files?
What if more than one pen-drives are mounted?

Installing Firefox Portable

Submitted by sera2775 on May 1, 2009 - 1:07am

Hello,

I am receiving an error message when trying to install Firefox_Portable_3.0.10_en-us.paf.exe onto my USB drive. I specify the usb drive as the installation location and after a short time installing the following error message is received:

"Error opening file for writing"
"G:\Firefox Portable\App\DefaultData\Profile\bookmarks.html"

I receive similar error messages for:

- localstore.rdf
- mimetypes.rdf
- Firefox portable setting.ini

If I ignore these messages and continue the installation FP doesn't work.

NSIS Error and an update question.

Submitted by Nicto on April 30, 2009 - 3:53pm

Using:
WinXP Pro with SP2
PortableApps Menu 1.5.2
Firefox 3.0.9

I've been using this combination for some time with no problems. A recent attempt to open Firefox returned the error message---nsis error: failed integrity test. Other apps opened and ran correctly.

I shut down and restarted the system and Firefox opened normally (I'm using it now).What happened? Is this likely to recur? I would expect an installer to be deleted after installation.---why is it still Present?
