First start-session manager question-suggestion

Submitted by m2 on June 22, 2008 - 7:37am

When I updated my FF to 3.0, I've been asked whether I want to use session manager and got 2 options: yes/no. I use a session manager in TabMixPlus extension and I wasn't sure how will this choice affect it. Will "yes" enable FF session manager instead of mine? Will "no" disable it? It missed the third option - "leave it as it is".

I've been using Firefox 2.0.0.14 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.2.0 for a long time.Recently, I heard that Firefox 3.0 was released.So I downloaded the new version(FF3+FirefoxPortable 1.5.14.0) from Portableapps.com . But,I found that when I start the firefoxportable.exe, it starts numerous tasks(more than 50), and then open plently of browser windows.
I've test :
Firefox 2.0.0.14 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.2.0 OK!
Firefox 2.0.0.14 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.14.0 OK!
Firefox 3.0 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.2.0 OK!
Firefox 3.0 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.14.0 CRASHED!!!

FF3 crashing

Love your site long time John. Thankyou so much.

Downloaded last night ff3.It crashes on startup the first time. It then starts but crashes when I go to options and change something. Then it crashed on the Google sign up page. Ive installed it to "H:\Astrix\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable" on a hard drive. I will have a fiddle.

Cheers

History and Driver letter change

Submitted by kureta on June 20, 2008 - 8:02am

I am not sure but I think this issue has something to do with driver letter of my USB stick. It is H: on my home computer and F: on the one at work. The problem is; Firefox shows only the files I browse at home in the History. The files I browse at work do not ever go to History. Back - Forward buttons work but it adds nothing to History.

Why is it beta 5?...

Submitted by Preacher on June 20, 2008 - 5:03am

portable FFox 3.0 identifies itself as
"Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5"

If it's only beta, why doesn't portableapps list it as being only beta?...

(Must be that's why it won't allow me to DL and install other themes)

Puzzling indeed.

And a tad disappointing...

P.S. - And while I'm on a roll, what's the diff 'twixt a beta and a release candidate?... (while running beta 5, I got a popup offering to DL "RC2"...)
