Anybody has noticed that if you open the "About Mozilla Firefox" Window, the user agent for Firefox 3.0 is still set to 2.0.0.6? I don't know yet if it's the same thing for the desktop version.

This cause me a problem because one of my extensions, feedly, is running only for Firefox 3.0, and it seems they validate your version regarding the user agent.

Firefox Portable 3 - Update to 3.0.1 = Failed

Submitted by Lucanos on July 17, 2008 - 10:18pm

Running FFP3 off a U3 USB Key under Windows XP.

I have been prompted by Firefox to Update twice now, and gone through the steps, but each time I get an alert stating "The partial update could not be applied. Firefox will try again by downloading a complete update."

(This message also appeared after having clicked through the same message after a failed update.)

Firefox addon disappearing

Submitted by boxsterh on July 16, 2008 - 9:31pm

So this is a problem I've been having since PFF3 came out: I will install addons that I used in PFF2 (AdBlock, Remember The Milk) and some FF3 specific ones (Weave, Personas, PicLens) and for a day all would be well in the PFF3/Addon world. The problems come the next day. Without making any changes on my USB drive ALL addons are no longer working. They are listed but they are not functioning. Any ideas?

Firefox Not Opening

Submitted by cheeda on July 16, 2008 - 1:30pm

When I plugged in my flash and attempted to open the browser, nothing happens. The logo would just load, but the actual browser enver opens. The program tried updating itself earlier, but I had to eject the drive before it finished. I don't know if that had any effect on it or not.

I tried ejecting the drive, and starting up my firefox portable again, but no avail. Rebooting the computer didn't help either. Can anyone please help?

is it possible to set up multiple homepages for when ff starts up?

Submitted by punkbohemian on July 16, 2008 - 11:53am

Everytime I start firefox, I don't just start with a homepage, I have to open 4 more tabs for other pages that I'm on every time I get online. I was wondering if it was possible to set up ff so that every time I log in, it could automatically open other tabs to the various pages. I know that you can preserve your session when you close, but my sessions tend to end on sites different from where they began, so that wouldn't work so well. Any ideas? Thanks.

Flash out of the box?

Submitted by crux on July 15, 2008 - 9:05am

I just installed FFP 2.0.0.14 and 2.0.0.15 onto my USB stick. Flash functions perfectly from those installations, even though I did not download the Flash player plugin.

I am guessing this has something to do with the remote Flash installation. Is there some way I can: 1) prevent Firefox from using the local Flash and 2) ensure that I will be able to use Flash on other computers that do not have it locally installed.

Firefox Support Page

I noticed that some parts of the firefox support page are out of date with FF3, such as:
Mailto Note: Mailto links are not controlled by Firefox's mimetypes setup, so this has no effect on being able to click on an email link and launching Thunderbird. Firefox simply passes mailto links to Windows and has it open the default mail client.
Which is now not true.
