Firefox Cache

Submitted by Legace on April 12, 2008 - 3:59pm

On the link below, you can learn to change the directory of the FF cache.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory

I have made it so, that FF portable (I wan't to minimize the number of writes to the flash disk) uses C://Cache as it's cache directory. Is it possible to make a .bat/NSIS file that will delete the Cache directory when run.

Thanks in advance.

FireFox3 Beta 5 Portable "Stuttering"

Submitted by mwaldron on April 11, 2008 - 10:26am

Is anyone else experiencing what I can best describe as 'stuttering' or 'jerkiness' when using FF3B5P?

It appears to happen mostly 2-3 seconds after opening or reloading a page, and the entire FF browser hangs for 3-5 seconds. Then it comes back up and everything is OK and it continues to run fine, until the next time it stutters.

I suspect this has something to do with disk writes. I've been watching my thumbdrive's LED and FF3 appears to beat on my drive hard.

I have not run any of the previous releases of 3 so I am not sure if this behavior is new to B5 or not.

Add-ons and themes don't work everytime I use FFP with different computers

Submitted by tak on April 9, 2008 - 11:37pm

FFP2.0.0.13, XP and Vista.

First, I installed FFP to my own computer. I was in rush so I didn't try to run the program at that time. Then, I tried to run the program on my work computer. It ran, but none of addons and themes are working properly. So, I reinstalled the program in different folder while keeping the original installation folder in the same drive. Then, I installed all addons and themes from scratch and it worked perfectly with my work computer. The story didn't end here.I tried to run the program on a computer in my school's lab, but none of extensions and themes work again!

Homepage Settings Changed?

Submitted by joesmith07 on April 9, 2008 - 10:28am

For some reason, when I started my Firefox Portable today, my homepage settings wre changed with one window opening and 2 tabs displaying. I think one tab was the default Firefox search page, the other was a page explaining Session Manager). When I opened Firefox later, the same thing happened. Then, later I downloaded a file and upon completion, the file displayed in the Download Pop-up box (I used to have my settings NOT remember downloaded files). Also, in the privacy tab, Firefox was no longer set to clear my private data when I close Firfox (another setting I USED to have).

Firefox Waiting Problem

Submitted by anacondasnake on April 7, 2008 - 4:04pm

I have a problem with Firefox that's been for something like a month now...

When I start Firefox, websites load fast, nice and smoothly.
After a while, pages take a long time to load (sometimes wait for 5mins and nothing is loaded). All what I get is the loading circular progressbar in the tab.
Also, when I have multiple tabs running at the same time, I may get the same problem.

Usually, for me to solve this problem, I "End Process Tree" and reopen Firefox Portable then restore session (to avoid the loss of the contents of the other tabs), and then the webpage opens.

"Dangerous" Annoying Auto "Checking Compatibility of Add-ons" update, though update check is disabled :S?

Submitted by blahblah on April 6, 2008 - 10:05am

Hi...

When updating to the latest version of FF3 B5, portable style, as described here: https://portableapps.com/node/12311 I often at first-time-startup/opening get this window: http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/752/autoupdatelw2.png

If your not fast enough (I wasn't the first time, but now I'm always aware) to press the 'cancel', then when Firefox opens, all your extensions not compatible will be disabled. Son of a Bitch! Sad (sorry, but this is really annoying)
