Firefox Tree Structure

Submitted by Riyonuk on March 14, 2007 - 12:10pm

I guess thats what you call it, I would like to know why it is how it is. I mean there are many of the same folders, such as

F:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\plugins
F:\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\plugins
F:\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins

Why is it like this? Were they made that way incase there are multiple profiles? I couldnt see there being more than one profile on a portable firefox.

Cannot watch clips on youtube

Submitted by sarahgellar33 on March 14, 2007 - 9:53am

Hello,
I am using portable firefox now. However, when I go to youtube and try to watch some clips, it always shows that "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player."

I have downloaded and installed the latest flash player but it still doesn't work. I have no problem watching clips with IE on my computer. Can anyone suggest me how to correct this problem? Cheers.

Importing favorites from Internet Explorer

Submitted by hansof on March 13, 2007 - 7:38am

The problem is that at installing Firefox, my favorites etc. from Internet Explorer are not imported.

The reason may be that at first, I installed Firefox on my harddisk, just to try it. Then, the favorites were installed. Then I removed Firefox from my harddisk, and later installed Firefox on my USB stick. The favorites were not installed. Neither were they installed after removing Firefox and reinstalling the program on my USB stick.

Is there any method to import the favorites after having installed Firefox?

How to update????

Submitted by aksharatg on March 13, 2007 - 1:54am

Hi,
I am using portable firefox version 2.0. I have installed many extensions and themes. I also have cached passwords and browsing history.
How can I update to portable firefox 2.0.0.2 without losing any of my extensions, themes, bookmarks, cached passwords.
Is it safe to use automatic updates?
Is MozBackup (http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/) is compatible with the portable firefox?
Please help me guys....

Warm Regards,

Undeletable folder staged-xpis

Submitted by Crazytales on March 12, 2007 - 3:45pm

There's something up with my FxPortable. It was in the process of restarting to install Google Toolbar, when the flash drive lost the USB connection somehow. So I plugged it in at another computer, and all seemed well. Not so when I browsed through the extensions folder. The staged-xpis folder under that reports file size as 184GB (my flash drive is only 1GB) and is undeletable. The staged-xpis folder contains a lot of files with garbage filenames and huge filesizes.

Changing icon in titlebar

Submitted by fireuser on March 11, 2007 - 11:39pm

I'm using the latest version of Firefox Portable, and I've followed the instructions for changing the titlebar icon (create a new folder in chrome called icons, then inside that create default, then main-window.ico should be the the new icon), but they didn't work. There are like 5 different chrome folders, and I've tried them all together, and each one separate, still no luck. Has anyone changed the icon in the titlebar successfully; how'd you do it? Or, does anyone know of an extension that could do the same thing for me? Thanks
