Firefox Portable

Firefox is already running, but is not responding...

Submitted by popap on August 10, 2007 - 4:54pm

I am trying to use FF portable as my default browser (Vista Ultimate 64bit). Everything works fine (add-ons, etc), except that if I try to open a _local_ html file I get the error message:

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

I can open a local file only if firefox is not already running. Below is my FFP ini:

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins

How do I start "CBI\index.html" in FFP

Submitted by cubmaster on August 9, 2007 - 6:03pm

I am putting together a CD of MSDS files(.pdf) in a web page format. I need to have employees put the CD in and start "CBI\index.html" through FF Portable. All of our computers have autostart disabled. Can I use a start CD app file to do this? Consider that there are about 40 computers at my company and the CD drives are not the same drive letter.

Upgraded to 2.06 and lost settings/add-ons, etc.

I'm not sure what happened. I've been using (and LOVING) Firefox Portable for several versions and upgrading without a problem, but this time the update seems not to recognize my previous settings. They're still there in :\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile, but they're not being used -- I'm just getting the default look.

Flash and Shockwave Problems

Submitted by LittleUnkn0wn on August 8, 2007 - 10:05am

I've found the instructions for installing them on FF Portable here, and I tried to follow them. I get errors downloading the Flash extension and I wasn't given the option to redirect the Shockwave installation. So I tried the "more geeky" instructions, but I couldn't find any of the files specified. Any help?

Installing the Flash plugin

Submitted by Nasenbaer on August 7, 2007 - 5:58am

I have some problems with the Flash 9.0 plugin for Windows, which you can get here:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows.html#Flash

I can install the xpi and Flash works fine, but Firefox Portable doesn't install the plugin in /Data/plugins (even though this directory contains a text file that says "put plugins here").
Firefox Portable installs the Flash plugin on the c: drive.

Which files do I have to put in Data/plugins, the xpi or its contents?
