Is firefoxportable.paf.exe corrupted?

Submitted by splunge on September 6, 2008 - 6:02pm

My FF3 portable installation started acting flaky, so I downloaded it again from portableapps.com, and made sure to overwrite the previous .paf.exe file, but now I get a Windows pop-up "bubble message" (from the tray) saying it's corrupted, and now it doesn't appear listed in the PortableApps menu program, but when I try to run it manually (by clicking its icon) I get a "command window" for a second and then nothing.

Firefox portable is running smoothly on any machine I've tried it on, even older machines. Especially with all kinds of storing features unchecked and checking the boxes to erase all cookies on browser close. With any other options checked it does tend to be somewhat slow on closing and opening, especially when the numbers of cookies have been increasing.

bookmarks don't import to FF3 PortApps

Submitted by jim simon on August 31, 2008 - 10:09pm

In the portable version I opened up the Bookmarks Library, Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks..., then select Import and Backup > Import HTML, choose the From an HTML file option and pointed it to the bookmarks.html file. Turned off PApps and then on again. My new bookmarks in my laptop don't appear in the PortApps bookmarks bar. Only the old are still there.

Getting 2 Firefoxes to show up as different items in suite

Submitted by thadh on August 31, 2008 - 1:31am

I downloaded portable apps for my usb drive so the computers that I use at school can have all the programs I need. Unfortunately, some of the computers run Windows 98. This means I can't use firefox 3 with them. I downloaded firefox 2 and installed it in a different folder so i can use the features of firefox 3 when i had a compatable computer. I would like to know how to make the entrys in the suite to show up differently so one shows firefox 3 and the other shows firefox 2. is there any way to do this?

Logging with different user loses settings

I have created and application that uses Firefox Portable. I have modified the chrome and altered some settings. After that i created an installer that copies the firefox portable files to a location to the hard diskc c:\folder.
When i run the application as the user who installed the software Firefox Portable launches fine and all the settings are as defined. When i log out and run it as another user (non admin) the application starts but it wont start at the home page. Also when i click the home page button it launches the firefox home page, not mine home page.

How to hide traces of Firefox Portable at Work...?

Submitted by ShadowPhoenix on August 28, 2008 - 6:27am

There is an "Only Internet Explorer" rule at my office - I was asked to uninstall Firefox off of my computer. So I did, and after crying for a few months, I then installed and used Firefox Portable. Last night I got an email from my Network Manager saying that he ran a "secure scan" on my computer and detected Firefox. He also asked me to remove it from my machine - of course, it's not ON my machine. However, the fact is that a scan is picking up the usage of a version of Firefox.
