Firefox Portable

Any about:config values I can edit for speed?

Submitted by Diablosblizz on November 27, 2008 - 3:30pm

Hey, I am running Firefox on my flash drive, with Portable Apps, and it's quite slow. The USB drive is 2.0, and the computers are 2.0 high speed so it's got to be firefox.

it's not a problem, works at home great but when I am on the go it's a little slow loading pages and typing stuff. I was just wondering if there is a tutorial on how to make firefox run a bit faster, without adding any plugins.

Thanks!

Add on's and extensions install themselves when using other computers.

I have recently used my portable version of Firefox on another computer which already had Firefox on it's HDD. The computer I used also had AVG Free AntiVirus installed on it with AVG Security Toolbar installed on it.

When I started Firefox portable from my USB key, The AVG security toolbar was installed on my version of Firefox portable. But when I went back to my home machine, the toolbar was no longer there.

Help: All my bookmarks disappeared!

Today, I unplugged my Titanium SanDisk Cruzer and an error message came up quickly for only a second saying "corrupt file" or something to that effect. When I plugged my drive back in and opened Firefox Portable, all of my bookmarks on my bookmark toolbar had vanished and there is nothing in the folder either. The last time I backed up was in Sept. Is there anyway to recover these files and what do you think happened?

Cache handling

I can't explain the source of this problem, or recover from it.
Running 2.0.0.16 everything worked as I wanted it: as sites are visited, the directory Data/profile/Cache grows and grows. I upgraded to 2.0.0.18, set everything under Tools -> Options as for 16 but, try as I might, I can't get the Cache to grow. I have "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox" unchecked, and "Use up to 3072 MB of space for the cache" (not 0). But the directory remains stubbornly sparse.

Hello,

First of all thank you for the excellent work provided through these "portabilised" apps.

I have not found any topic relating also let me ask the question: is it possible to change the location of the "profile" folder of FireFoxPortable (cl. 3.0.4) and if so how?

Thank you

Alain
