Transer Old FireFoxPortable Settings to New FireFoxPortable

Submitted by universal1300 on July 9, 2007 - 7:15pm

Because I didn't use it as much as thought I would, I decided to remove the Portable Apps Suite "container" from my USB drive and simply keep the portable programs I use the most.

Therefore, I pulled my entire "FireFoxPortable" folder to the desktop, removed the Portable Apps Suite by formatting my USB drive, and promptly dragged the FireFoxPortable folder back to my USB drive.

I thought that, since it's the exact same folder I have been using for months, that my profile, bookmarks, extensions, Greasemonkey scripts, etc. would all work the same as before.

Is it OK to install extensions and still keep Firefox portable?

Is it OK to install extensions and still keep Firefox portable?

I checked the FAQ but it didn't answer my question. My family does not want any exe file changing the registry so I installed Firefox portable on the USB drive and it works really well thank you! But I want to install a few extensions from mozilla's add-on list too, would that keep Firefox portable?

Shockwave

I read in the forum that somone had a problem with installing the shockwave plugin without administrator rights, same here Smile
Sorry, but the thread was closed so I created a new one...

Do this:
* Download the shockwave installer (.exe)
* Extract it using unpackingsoftware, such as WinRar or TugZip.
* copy the files into the firefox plugin directory (same as for flash above). No subdir is allowed, just dump all of it in the plugin-directory.
* restart firefox

Tested it with a random shockwavegame and it worked!

Configuring Firefox Portable to use the Java installed for OpenOffice.Org Portable

Submitted by millarrp on July 5, 2007 - 8:45pm

I realize that it's posted on the main support page that no Java portable is listed as a known issue for Firefox Portable, but now that there is a portable form of Java installed for the new OpenOffice.org, is there a way to have Firefox Portable point to that version instead of having to rely on a local copy? Or is that something that is still in the works?

Firefox Portable on BlackBerry Curve

Submitted by millerjl57 on July 5, 2007 - 5:47pm

This flirts with being "off topic", but I looked at the Off Topic forum and those items were WAY off topic. So here goes ... don't bother flaming me if you think this is ridiculous, everybody ... save your breath and your energy for a fight that really matters.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a BlackBerry Curve as my next mobile phone / etc. device.

can´t login to iGoogle

I can´t log in to my personal Google account (www.google.com/ig), just getting "time out" errors. I am behind a proxy in my company, but logging in to iGoogle with my default browswer (Explorer6) works fine. I don´t receive any specific error messages, just that "time-out". I configured all cookies to be accepted by default.All other webpages can be reached without problems.
