Firefox Portable

Anyone tried using chickenfoot extension with Portable FFX?

Submitted by pwright2 on February 16, 2008 - 6:59am

I downloaded the chickenfoot extension and some of the functions work but I can't get it to input anything into a text box. Even from their examples. Maybe another extension is blocking or maybe something to do with Vista. But I haven't gotten anything from their maillist yet so I thought I would ask here.

Paypal plugin

I only use firefox portable. Right now I am using 2.0.0.11. I downloaded and installed the firefox paypal plugin, but it was an exe and I am concerned it installed only for the machine I installed it on, not for firefox portable overall, meaning that when I move to my laptop it won't be there. Is there currently anyway to get this plugin to be portable? I did search the forums and found only references to paypal donations not the plugin.

EDIT: The paypal plugin shows in my add/remove programs list in the control panel on my desktop.

firefox started by association link skips my profile

Submitted by pwright2 on February 15, 2008 - 3:21pm

I use Portable Firefox from portableapps.com. When I start firefox by calling the portablefirefox.exe, it starts just fine calling up everything from my profile. If firefox is already running, clicking a link in an email or document will open another tab in that instance of firefox and, again, all is well.

If firefox is NOT running, clicking on a link in another document will start up firefox but none of my addons are loaded. The bookmarks are there but none of the extensions. It is as if it had skipped my profile.

Hi, I bought a month ago a 8Gb pendrive that is not fast enough to run FirefoxPortable, so I had to sell it and continue qith my old(but reliable) 2Gb one.

Could anybody tell me a 8Gb pendrive that works well with Firefox for sure?¿?¿

Thank you

Google Reader now broken - Firefox 3 beta 3 rev 2

Submitted by GobberGo on February 14, 2008 - 12:15pm

I'm running the portable Firefox off a network drive so that I can access it from several PCs in my office. My office computers run XP Pro SP2.

I recently loaded FF 3 beta 3 rev 2, and now Google Reader - my primary RSS reader - is broken. The script(s) for displaying the feeds in the box on the right seems to be loading incorrectly. It looks like it shoves the feed's posts down and off screen. That's a guess based on the fact that the feed posts momentarily show when I resize the FF window, then disappear again.

Question: run two firefox-portables simultan?

Submitted by atreiju on February 13, 2008 - 4:03am

Hi,
After portableapps.com made my day by publishing FF3beta3 so fast, I have one question:
Is it possible to run two different firefox instances at once? I would love to switch between FF2 and FF3b3 on the fly to compare them, but when i try to start the second FF, a message appears: "Firefox already running". I know that, but i want to start the other one anyway... Sad

FireFox Portable won't open on 1 PC, but opens on the rest

Submitted by chevrolet.racing252 on February 12, 2008 - 1:17pm

I have been using FireFox Portable for quite some time now on my old HP XZ133 WinXP Home notebook and my Gateway tablet PC at work. Suddenly on Friday when I tried to open Firefox Portable from my portable HDD, it acted like it was working normally, but Firefox never came up. I tried restarting the computer and performing a Windows System Restore back to last Thursday when I know it was working perfectly and still had no luck. When I plug the HDD into my Tablet at the office, everything works perfectly with no problems whatsoever.
