[solved] Firefox 3.03 portable crashes with audio streaming

Submitted by nikokroko on October 11, 2008 - 8:46pm

Hi Everybody.

First of all, perdon my poor english, I'll do my best.

So when I try to listen an audio streaming (http://www.ouifm.fr/popupradio.php), firefox crashes (freezes is better). I don't understand why cause ther is windoze media player 11 installed and also th e plugin media player 11 for firefox (from mozilla-addons).

I don't know what to do. So If you have an answer, it will help me spoil somme time at work.

Hello all,

Sorry i'm new here so maybe this question is ask before. But i'm goingto ask it again.

I just download portable Firefox & Thunderbird. I'm going on a trip so i want to take my broser and emails with me. Since today i have webmail on TB so i can also get my hotmail mails in TB.

When i look at the information page of FF & TB portable then i read this:

for Firefox: Just copy the contents of that folder (except the cache directories) to the FirefoxPortable\Data\profile directory.

For Thunderbird: Just copy all of those files to the Data\profile.

Change Splash Screen

Hello,

is it allowed to change the Splash-Screen for a CD-Presentation? I'd like to to replace it with something like "Please Wait", but I would/could keep the "portableapps.com/FirefoxPortable"-advertisment.
The CD-Presentation is not just for my personal use.

Greetings from Germany
and thanks for the help

Themes?

Submitted by Lahru on October 9, 2008 - 11:36pm

Can you put themes into the portable version of FF?

I'm having some difficulty in searching the forums for this question. It seems it'd be a fairly simple thing, yet I don't see anything in FAQs or by doing a search. I have a full version of FF installed on the PC I am using and it seems as though the themes I am downloading are going to directories related specifically to that installation rather than the port. I am using the Port version's addon manager to try to install these.

Crash reporter creates files on host

Submitted by James A on October 7, 2008 - 7:08am

I've noticed that that there are some files created by Firefox Portable in the default user directory in Windows.

These belong to the new Mozilla Crash Reporter (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad), and there are also some extension folders created. That knowledge base article suggests a way to disable the crash reporter, but should this not be done by default to make the app truly portable (ie not leave data on the host)?

Cannot run profile manager? (AdditionalParameters= -profilemanager doesn't work!)

Submitted by loveleeyoungae on October 6, 2008 - 5:38am

I tried adding the -profilemanager parameter to the FirefoxPortable.ini but it doesn't work. Neither do -CreatProfile profile_name , -P parameters.
However, -safe-mode parameter works.

So, is it because of Firefox Portable? Is there any way for me to create profiles in Firefox Portable?
