Firefox Portable

default program

Submitted by Miles on February 15, 2007 - 12:01pm

Even though FF is checked as defaujlt in tools, every time I reopen FF it is not checked. So I rechek, then then the next time it will start when a link is clicked on in TB.

If don't recheck, when in TB and click on a link, most annoyingly it starts IE and does not ask if I want to start FF.. This occurs when traveling and using different computers

Sometimes extensions and settings just disappear

Submitted by GlennCoco on February 14, 2007 - 5:40pm

Hello,

So sometimes my settings and extensions just disappear. All my bookmarks still seem to be here, and my passwords. When I look at my add-ons, all of my extensions say they will be installed when Firefox is restarted, but I've been using them for months so there isn't a reason they shouldn't be installed already.

Firefox Portable won't load

Submitted by Cedeyrn on February 11, 2007 - 1:40pm

I'm trying to use Firefox Portable from my USB thumb drive, but I can't seem to get it to work. The splash screen will appear and the program appears in the task manager processes window, but after the splash screen dissapears, so does the firefox process. It just shuts down with no warning or error. I've had this same result on every University computer I've used. When a program is blocked, an error appears and tells you that it's been blocked, so I have no idea what might be causing this.

I sometimes use Portable GAIM and that works fine, if this helps.

Cross platform firefox and extensions

Submitted by haroldo on February 10, 2007 - 6:30am

I use Cross Platform Firefox (CPFF) since I use Mac OSX 10.4 and WinXP Home.
I copied my profile from the PC.
When I open CPFF on the Mac, all my (15) extensions appear. When I open CPFF on XPH, only a handful appear (6) and some of them say "...will be upgraded when Firefox is restarted". I've shut down the fly drive, plugged it back into the Mac and when I return to XPH the same issue exists. All my bookmarks are present, it is just the extensions that are problematic.
What am I doing wrong?

browserstate-logs

How can the \PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\browserstate-logs files be automatically deleted, or prevented from being saved in the first place? My drive had about 600 MB of these files on it from just three or four days. The 600 MB filled my 2 GB drive to capacity and I was worried about data loss since there was NO room left on the drive!
