Firefox Portable

Real Player Plugin

Submitted by ateamraya on April 20, 2007 - 6:25am

I like to watch programs from the following Website:

http://www.cbs.com/innertube/

I use Portable Firefox. the website requires real Player plugin. It works on my home computer which has real player installed but I can't get it to work when using it on a computer without realplayer installed and I don't have admin priviledges to install on the work computer. I have tried copying everything I can find into the Port FF Plugins folder but to no availe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Search plugin PortableApps.com Improved

Here is a slightly improved version of the search plugin Ryan posted here: https://portableapps.com/node/3578

All I did was shorten up the descriptions so that it now stays within the search box column when you hit change arrow.

http://wsm23.cubegames.net/Downloads/portableapps_search.xml

It works with FF 2.0.

EDIT: How to install.
1. "Save link as"
2. Place the file in your PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\searchplugins directory.
3. Restart Firefox.

UPDATED:
Now available on mycroft.

FP Live starting performance

Submitted by HugoSeppel on April 18, 2007 - 11:24am

It's me again...

As I understand the FP Live copies all the necessary files to the hard disk. On computers with a slow CD-ROM drive this takes some time. The launcher does this every time the Firefox Portable is started even if I don't delete the files on the HDD. I wonder if there is a chance to let the launcher only copy the files from CD to HDD which are different or are missing on HDD. I looked around in the nsi file and started to read the documentation of NSIS but found nothing. Has anyone of you an idea how to make this?

Hi All,

just joint this forum.
We've using the portables for serveral months.
N now we need to make the firefox portable automatically open in fullscreen
mode when we open it(without have to touch F11 button). It is possible? If yes, can someone tell us how to do it?
I've search for few days and can't found it.
Thanks before.

Keep splash screen longer visible

Submitted by HugoSeppel on April 16, 2007 - 7:20am

Hi,

I wonder if there is an easy way to keep the splash screen longer visible. On my slow laptop, there are about 30 seconds time between the disappearance of the splash screen and the start of FireFox. So when I don't look on the HDD led I don't know if there is still action going on. The perfect solution for me would be, if the splash screen disappears just when FireFox starts independent of the speed of the computer.
Another solution could be, that after the splash screen disappears, something else is shown on the screen.

Huh?

There seems to be a bug in the FFP launcher. If the license page is shown and the profile directory is empty, the launcher will ask twice if you want to create a profile. Once before the license agreement is shown, and once after you agree to it.

By the way, this same bug exists in the TBP launcher.
