Move Player Plugin?

Submitted by celloguy on March 22, 2007 - 4:36pm

So I have a question about the Move player plugin that is used to watch streaming video on the CW and ABC's new video sites. I can't get it to install on Portable. I have been able to get it to work on my home installation of Firefox, and I tried copying everything from the plugins folder, but it still doesn't work.
Has anyone gotten this to work on portable Firefox? If so, what do I do, and if not, can anyone help me figure out what other files AI might need to manually transfer?
Thanks!

Firefox portable CORE

Submitted by AndaleTheGreat on March 22, 2007 - 12:08pm

I use Firefox 2 from this site, and I love it, it works pretty great, but...

I was wondering if there is any way i can change the core files to reference all my saved stuff from my USB, like bookmarks and passwords.
I use it at work and home but it's horribly slow and delayed from the flash drive (yes, it is usb2) so since I can keep a copy of firefox on my work comp I was hoping I could tell it to reference my settings elsewhere, then all it has to access is a few files and not the whole dang core set to run it.

Is there some way to download some of the more popular plugins (flash, shockwave) all at once? My situation is one in where I am restricted to run .exe and find it difficult to use Universal Extractor to get it from the flash player installer. The hard part is actually downloading the .exe from there main site. If not, thats ok.

Also, I got the latest release of FireFox Portable, and in the plugins folder, there are new plugins?

npnul32.dll
npqtplugin2.dll
npqtplugin3.dll
npqtplugin.dll
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
QuickTimePlugin.class

One-Click Solution for Profile Transfer

Submitted by Kaputt on March 21, 2007 - 1:02pm

Hello everyone,

is there a one-click-solution for transferring the profile settings (including bookmarks, extensions, passwords etc.) from my local installation of Firefox to Firefox Portable (on my USB-Flash-Stick) and back? I would like to keep profile data of both Firefoxes synchronized.

I haven't found any clue in the FAQ nor via searching the boards, although I assumed my request to be covering a commonly desired feature.

I would be glad to receive some advise.

Thanks a lot!

Michael

Downloading

I have just installed the 2.0.0.2 version and find that it is still slow [like with ver 1.5] on downloads. I'd be interested to know why this is? It seemed to get stuck when i set it [in options] to download to a hard disk folder. Seemed to be better with the option of choosing a drive/folder to download to.

For ver 1.5 it was recommended to use the Statusbar addon [think! from memory].

It would seem FireFox doesn't like large downloads - i switched to IE earlier today to download XAMPP. But it was still slow i feel with some pdfs of 350k.
