Firefox Portable

Enabling Disk Caching

Submitted by edlight on September 6, 2007 - 9:18pm

What would happen if the cache was set for > 0 ? Would a cache be created in the Portable Firefox directories, wherever it was located?

I run it on my hard drive in a data partition, and various C: partitions share it. I'd like to enable the cache to speed it up.

I also keep a synchronized copy on a thumb drive.

Large Webpage Loads Cause Crashes with Multiple Tabs (Buffer Overflow?)

Submitted by neatneatneat on September 5, 2007 - 3:29am

Lately I've been experiencing bugs where I have several (2-3) tabs open, all of them are loading webpage content, and at least one of these tabs is in the process of loading a VERY large webpage (multiple MB)...and Firefox will become completely non-responsive. By non-responsive, I mean that I'm unable to switch tabs, unable to close the tabs which are taking so long to download, and even unable to exit from Firefox itself.

addons etc are installed local

Submitted by Suriv on September 2, 2007 - 7:46am

It seems like all addons are installed in %APPDATA%: when I start FF Portable for the first time, it creates a directory %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox, and it saves all addons, passwords, ... in this directory.

I installed FF Portable, installed all addons etc on one computer, but when I try to run FF Portable on another computer, no addons are installed at all.

This is not really what I had in mind for a "portable" app. :S

Arggh! FF has just lost ALL my settings/addons etc

My firefox portable on my hard drive has just crapped itself. I ran it as usual but it ran the default config as if I had just installed it... now i've 'lost' all my settings,add-ons,passwords etc. I take it they would still be around somewhere but how would get back my custom config!

Thanks soooo much

Pete

I know! back-up!

Not portable?!?

Submitted by ficod on August 31, 2007 - 6:17am

I've found that Firefox Portable creates the following:

%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\pluginreg.dat

%userprofile%\Impostazioni locali\Dati applicazioni\Mozilla\Firefox\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\updates\0

Any workaround?
