Portable Firefox and Orbit Downloader

Submitted by Regve on November 24, 2007 - 11:13pm

Hello all,

first of all I would like to thank you for this great app (Portable Firefox)!

I've gotten everything to work besides Orbit Downloader. This includes copying the Quicktime dll files etc. etc.

Now the problem:
Whenever I click on a download link, after I installed Orbit Downloader, I don't get the option to download with Orbit. Orbit Downloader doesn't appear in the context menu either.

However, with the regular Firefox, everyting works.

Is there anything I can do to get Orbit Downloader to work with Portable Firefox?

I use portable Firefox on a stick and also on a dual boot machine with a shared drive. Everything works fine except for one little annoying detail. Whenever I open Firefox in PCLOS I have to re-check the checkbox in options/advanced/general to always use autoscrolling. It stays set for Windows but not for Linux.

Foxmarks bookmark sync

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
