Firefox Portable

I use to experience this on 2x of FF Portable, and it is still there (albeit more so) in FF3.
Anyway, I have FF set to clear private data on exit, but about 50% of the time, after the Clear Private Data dialog box appears after closing the browser; and I choose "clear private data", the window just sits there for about 30 sec., it will eventually close, but after re-opening the browser, the clear private data window will appear like I ended task on FF Portable (which I hadn't), and FF actually didn't clear anything. After then choosing clear private data FF Portable will open.

we have Firefox Portable 3 in all windows 2003 server we have allow users to use it when they remote desktop in. we found a bug, when one person (session) starts the firefox, another person (session) in the same machine won't be able to start it up.

error message:
Firefox is already running, but is nto responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing firefox process, or restart your system.

thanks!

I'm more then sure this issue has been answered a 100+ times so here goes

I updated ff3 over the top of ff2.x and tried to update the add-ons/themes. Noticed that once I closed the browser, all the updates (both add-ons and themes) were basically rolled back to before they were updated. Without being updated, nun of the add-ons and/or themes worked with ff3.

Also tried downloading a fresh copy of ff3 portable, without any luck. Tried installing the FoxyTunes 3.0.2 add-on and once the browser was closed, the add-on vanished.

Hi guys,

I am using FF3 portable ... brilliant ...

But one question, I wanna enable the Recently Closed Tab ... in the History. Can someone help me out?

Best regards,

Bao

hy,

i don't speak well english, sorry for my errors...

after runing a portable application, the process of the launcher(example FirefoxPortable.exe) stay in taskmgr and consumes unnecessarily memory.
is there a parameter who kills it automatically ?

THANKS

So how should I start FF3P with safe mode. The following two methods did not work:

FirefoxPortable.exe -safe-mode
firefox.exe -safe-mode

My new flash drive has great read but abysmal write speed. To the point that running portable apps can be very very slow at times. So I fired up FileMon to see where most of the write activity was coming from in the hopes of then curbing it. Among other things I noticed FirefoxPortable.exe (from the latest 3.0, launcher version 1.5.14.0) is constantly looking for :\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\PSAPI.dll As in several times per second.

I copied in the latest verion of PSAPI.dll to see what would happen, and now FFP is opening PSAPI.dll for read several times per second.

Hello,

Wondering if anyone has had luck getting FFE & Weave (replacement for google browser sync) working. Currently it is working as expected on my home desktop, however, I'm not having any success logging into Weave via FF3 portable on my USB drive from my office computer.

I have removed the addon, re-nstalled multiple times but can't get by the login.

Anyone else tried it out yet?

Weave appears to be a great replacement for GBS.

Thanks in advance!

I know there are several posts about this, but no-one seems to be describing the problem I now have. Not got the fastest USB so I had got FF2 working pretty well with session restore off and all the others mentioned.

Decided to try FF3 and it was v slow. Again tried all the tweaks and no improvement. Most problem was that after a page loads (any page, even one you go back one step to) lots of writing (5 secs after page loads and then writes for 15 secs) which freezes FF and most other apps on USB drive.

I use FireFox Portable at work because I don't have the necessary permissions to install the non-portable version. I want to add Flash support, but I don't have the necessary permissions to run that installer either.

I would install it from home (beauty of Portable Apps), but I run Linux at home! So, does anybody know how I can manually install Adobe Flash support? I'll try it in WINE, but what are the odds that that will work?

Thanks,
Billy
