Firefox Portable

Profile disappeared?

Submitted by StephenQ on February 25, 2008 - 6:12am

For some reason when i started up one of my two firefox portable installs everything was screwed up.
All it contains is a standard install with JTH's Firefox-IE drop in profile, adblock plus + IETab and flash plugin, and has worked fine before plenty of times.

Its not really a problem, it was fairly blank and i can easily remake it but i cant figure out what happened, if its suddenly gone unportable and left traces behind or something.

Heres a shot (note this usually looks identical to IE6)

External Apps in Firefox Portable

Submitted by drsamraza on February 22, 2008 - 6:10am

Hello!
This may seem like a stupid question but I am a New User of Portable Apps, Please pardon my stupidity.

I have Portable Fire Fox on one of the removable hard drives. II have Web Developer Extension installed and when I tried to configure it to open Source in Ted Notepad, which is present in \PortableFireFox\Programs\Ted, it opens it if the path is absolute, otherwise it does not find it. If I change the directory of PortableFirefox, it looses the local path and shows an error

Can someone help? please

FirefoxPortable.exe become so heavy?

Submitted by deedhoet on February 20, 2008 - 2:15am

I've just downloaded FFP 2.0.0.12 and run it. Does I it really become so heavy? I forget my old FFP version (I let it update itself.. ) but it's look like this in my task manager. http://www.divshare.com/download/3834894-bbc
only take less than 6.5 MB total (memory usage + VM size)

Compare to the new FirefoxPortable.exe who take about 40 MB total.

Simple Mail Extension Appears Portable

Submitted by Patrick Patience on February 19, 2008 - 11:09pm

I saw a post on Lifehacker about this Firefox Extension, 'Simple Mail'

The extension is a e-mail client that works right inside of Mozilla Firefox. It supports your regular e-mail protocols, it has a nice interface using Tango icons, features some intuitive search, signature, and it doesn't seem to be missing much in an e-mail client. I tried it out, it worked great for me so far.
