Foxmarks bookmark sync

Submitted by pj80471 on November 17, 2007 - 9:44am

In case anyone else falls foul of the latest upgrade.....

Foxmarks was at v1.x and recently released an upgrade to v2.

The v2 option does not work correctly, see the foxmarks website.
Stay on v1.x or if you have upgraded go to foxmarks website, read the message about problems and reinstall v1.x - it installs over the top without problems.

Hope this helps someone. Smile

Proxy program tracking

Submitted by redped on November 12, 2007 - 3:00pm

Hi,

I managed to get Firefox portable working in my office by entering in the proxy server number - I've only just realised that my IT dept might be able to track what programs are accessing the proxy and this could land me in real trouble.

I changed the user agent to IE6 before accessing the proxy but I didn't change the filename of the exe.

Can anyone shed any light on the chances of my IT dept flagging this up?

Thanks

Different access to the internet

Submitted by jaime on November 12, 2007 - 9:24am

Hello
I want to use Firefox in two different connections to the internet.
1 - At home I connect directly to the internet.
2 - At work I have a proxy server.
My problem is that when I get to work I need to manually change the network settings to manual proxy configuration, and when I get home I need to change to direct connect to internet.
Is there anyway to configure this automatically?? I try auto-detect and automatically and didn't work...

Thanks

Jaime

have been running firefox off my usb key for some time now without a problem and today i try to load it up and it won't start. Last night when I started had some extensions that required updating so I thought that may be the problem, so after downloading it again and reinstalling it I tried to run it still with nothing the starting logo comers up and thats all. I looked in the task manager and firefox shows there briefly while the startup screen appears and then thats it anyone got any ideas whats going on.

Need Help With Mozilla Firefox

Submitted by grammarian Lionz on November 11, 2007 - 8:49pm

Hey Guys just ran into some trouble with the firefox portable in P Apps.
when i start firefox it gives me this message:

Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing firefox process, or restart your system.

1. Firefox is not running when this message appears not even the process.
2. So this leaves me with restarting the system. Even after restarting i face the same problem.
