Firefox Portable

Startup of multiple tabs no longer working

Submitted by aewold on July 29, 2008 - 3:04pm

When I attempt to start Portable Firefox 3.0.1 with multiple tabs, using the "AdditionalParameters=http://www.yahoo.com|http://www.google.com" line in the FirefoxPortable.ini file, it fails to open the first tab and doesn't open the additional tab(s).

After investigating this further, I see that any colon after the initial colon is being removed.

How to disable Firefox Portableapps splash screen?

How does one disable the annoying Firefox 3 Portableapps splash screen?

We all want to be closer to God, but this is hardly the way to draw His attention - or anyone else's for that matter Smile

A Web search produced only suggestions on how to do it in previous versions, and they don't seem to work.

Anyone?

Firefox bookmarks and All-in-One sidebar toolbar

Submitted by tradeinthailand on July 29, 2008 - 1:34am

Hi All,

I have just found the range of s/w available to run on my USB drive and am having so much fun with it.

I have installed Firefox and a number of add-ons.

This morning I was setting up some of my important bookmarks within the All-in-One sidebar toolbar. When I then loaded up on my computer at work none of the bookmarks were there. They were not on the Bookmarks toolbar or on the All-in-One Sidebar.

Can anyone give me some help with this.

Thanks in advance

Ways to accelerate startup from CD?

Submitted by padde on July 28, 2008 - 4:22am

I want to redistribute Firefox on a CD along with a big folder hierarchy full of HTML pages, images, PDF files, etc.

FirefoxPortable seems ideal for the job, because it's free, easily and completely customisable, etc.

The problem is, when launching FirefoxPortable from CD, it takes a *long* time to start. I'm talking about 30 seconds, on some computers even nearly a minute. The bottleneck doesn't seem to be the CD drive though - it seems as if a lot of things need to be processed to create a temporary profile in the temporary directory.

Trouble Installing

Submitted by littledrummerboy on July 25, 2008 - 12:19pm

I feel really bad posting here, since it looks like everybody else knows what they're talking about, and I don't really know anything about computers. So sorry in advance.

Here's the problem: Every time I'm installing the program an error report comes up that says something to the effect of "problem writing to the file 'classic.jar.'

I tried installing FF2 instead, and the same thing happened, though with a different .jar. I'm deeply sorry for asking what I'm sure is a stupid question, but I don't have any idea what to do.

Windows 2000 Firefox file types

Submitted by Francisco6x on July 24, 2008 - 2:30pm

Firefox Portable > Tools > Options > Advanced > System Defaults > Check Now
set Windows 2000 > Tools > Folder Options... > File Types > HTM (and others) > open
to "C:\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\firefox.exe" -requestPending -osint -url "%1"

Why not
to "C:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe" -requestPending -osint -url "%1" ?

Portable FF3: How do I remove "new homepages" from add-ons/extensions?

Submitted by davidgeisbush on July 24, 2008 - 11:16am

Lovin' FF3 but hatin' the fact that so many add-ons/extensions create new home pages that launch when I start FF3. I don't see these additional URLs in my tools/homepage list (/en-US.start2.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official). What gives? Any idea how to keep these from launching without removing the add-ons?

Add-ons that are creating home pages:
Download Helper
FlashGot
FireShot Pro (though it may just be complaining because I like the free version)
Yapta
FireFox Companion for Ebay
