Firefox Portable

Firstly, it's possible my main issues here are due to a messed up profile (but I don't think so). I won't have access to my home profile until, well, I go home, then I'll do some testings.

So I was just trying FF3b2 on another computer and I ran into a couple problems I don't experience in the non-portable version:

This is just a thought,

Lately every time FF updates we get a rash of problems from people who allow FF to update itself because we can not release FFP with that function [check for updates] disabled by default due to Mozilla licensing.

and the comments after

I understand where they are coming from. Perhaps they would understand where we are coming from.

A "Trojan Horse Download.Zlob.UAQ" was detected by AVG Free in the installer "Firefox_Portable_2.0.0.12_en-us.paf.exe".

AVG Version: 7.5.516 / 269.19.21/1267

Subject says it:

Does anyone know where to find a *good*, preferably open source plugin for viewing .tiff straight in Portable Firefox?

I don't know if this is a bug with FF or FFP, but I noticed a registry entry was left after closing FFP and letting it close completely. I downloaded and installed the most recent version (2.0.0.12) with no other extensions or themes installed. I did not change any options either. I can surf the internet normally with this clean version, close FF and nothing is left on the computer. But as soon as I visit gmail and close FFP, a registry entry is left at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org

Hi everybody,

I have a little problem with FF portable, if I execute it from a read-only media (i.e. a CD) it prompts me with something like "Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition appears to be running from a location that is read-only. would you like to temporarily copy it to the local hard drive and run it from there?".

Is there a way to just make FF to answer YES?

If I click "NO" it doesn't run... :-S

Thanks

HI awesome progam !

I' was hoping I' could find out why the launcher wont work after I' edited the FirefoxPortable.ini file

I'm receiving this error error message.

"firefox could not be started,you may wish to re-install to fix this issue"

--
I' changed the firefox.exe executible to foxy.exe
F:\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\foxy.exe

I' placed the edited FirefoxPortable.ini into the same directory as the launcher file FirefoxPortable.exe.

*:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.ini

I' used lower case characters to edit the FirefoxPortable.ini file

Hello,

In one of my accounts the trash folder was getting slow. I don't know what happened after that, other than, it disappeared as a folder below the account name. I tried to create it anew, but it said it already exists and won't let me create it. In addition, I cannot delete email because the folder doesn't seem to exist. How can I fix this? version 2.0.0.11

thanks,

Rick

I wasn't the first to have problems with the link to the flash plugin at this article:

https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#plugins

I am still not sure what was happening, but I was definitely getting a download error. It's not there now.

I was able to confirm that I could right-click and download the xpi file to my Desktop and then install it. I suppose I should uninstall everything and see if that is any more predictable on a clean system.

Oh well, thanks for checking.

Flash works fine.
However it writes in the %TEMP% and not locally.

Any suggestion to use a portable directory?
