Firefox Portable

PortableApps link to Flash extension is back (sorry)

Submitted by rab040ma on February 5, 2008 - 8:27pm

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.

I have just purchased an textbook through Primis Online eBookstore. I have been unable to install ebrary to Firefox portable. Is their a portable version out there somewhere?

Thanks,

Firefox Portable+Thunderbird preconfigured

Hello,

this is my first topic here, so please excuse if newbie question or not at the right place.

I was wondering if one could give a portable firefox to people who don't have time/mood to download extensions, set the right options etc.. E.g. to get rid of gif and pageload animations, or have comfortable download addons like scrapbook, plus some theme for dark pages. Most people use Internet Explorer for it's simplicity, because it's already there on their computer, and Firefox in the download-version doesn't have adfree surfing.

Noticible Lag with program.

Hello there, I have installed your program on the weekend, and I think it's great! However, I have noticed this lag that seems to happen every 10 or so seconds. Is this due to the device that is running portableapps (i.e. flash drive) or is it the computer?

Would someone be able to answer my question?

Hi,

I am using Firefox Portable on a CD, but firefoxportable.ini does not seems to work: I don't have the specified homepage and the splash screen is still here.

FirefoxPortable.ini and FirefoxPortable.exe are in the same folder, here is the .ini :

PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
