Firefox Portable and Google Toolbar beta

Submitted by tkcom on January 3, 2007 - 10:46pm

Google Toolbar beta
http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/FT3/intl/en/

I just found out that when I add new buttons to the toolbar [http://toolbar.google.com/buttons/], they won't install on the flash drive but the local hard drive instead. After I added buttons, closed the app and logged out (local settings purged), I logged back in and found out those buttons were gone.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Firefox portable opens to a page Titled: Deadend

Dual OS Portable possible?

Submitted by iceberg on December 30, 2006 - 10:59am

I was wondering if it would be possible to build a Linux static portable version that can run from the same directory as the windows version. I use both OSes and it would be nice to be able to just run it from the usb drive in bot instead of copying profiles back and forth. This would be nice for portable gaim and Thunderbird too but figured Id ask about Firefox first.

I have got a 2g firefly as a gift and transfered all my apps to it but firefox seems slow and sometimes unresponsive. So then thought by transfer was bad and did a restore off a older backup. now its really slow (not even opening). So i decided to format the drive and put a clean copy of the suite(in process of doing now). my question is does anyone else have this drive and are you getting good results with it?

Firefox with Progress-Bar while loading?

Submitted by Agepoint on December 28, 2006 - 4:59pm

Dear Friends,

I use the Portable Firefox for little Web-Presentations on CD-Rom and I am very happy with it.

There is only a thing which is not so nice:
Because firefox starts from cd it copies itself into a temporary directory.
This process can take a really long time (over a minute or even more).

Because of that I created a little splash-screen with AutoIt which is shown when the FF is starting and disappears after the browser-window appears.

Well, now I want to show a little progressbar for the user - the loading process of the ff.
Maybe this is not implemented in ff. Then I could still create an own copy-routine with progress bar. - Where can I get such a thing?

RunLocally with CopyBack?

Submitted by celtickuja on December 28, 2006 - 1:39pm

I'm voting for something that might allow changes to Fx while running locally to be copied back to the flash drive it was launched from. The main computer I use FxP on has USB1.1, so I run locally. However, when I find an extension I'd like to install or whatnot, I have to close it, run from the flash drive to install, then relaunch locally. Is it possible to have the profile and/or data folders copied back to the flash drive when a locally run Fx is terminated?
