Firefox Portable

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!

Default Browser

Why is there a default browser option when obviously it has no effect?

Also has any consideration been made as to how downloading updates may effect stability of the program?

Using apps on both computer and flash drive

Submitted by swruler on February 6, 2007 - 4:56pm

I love portable apps, but I want a way to be able to use the firefox on my computer, and sync it with the firefox on my flash drive, and vice versa - with all the settings and bookmarks (cookies too, if possible) I've tried many things, but nothing works. Is there a simple way to do this?

I would also like to do it with thunderbird and the other programs.
