FFP 2.0 stoped working

Submitted by campsoup1988 on December 4, 2006 - 8:12am

FFP 2.0 was working for me. Now, it loads PortableApps' splash and that is IT! The most recent extention I installed was Fasterfox ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1269/ ) which worked fine for a day, but now it wont load.

Here is a list of my other extentions and themes. A few of them I updated since I made the list, so not all of the version numbers might not be the same.

Extensions (enabled: 47, disabled: 4):

* Batch Download 1.1.2
* BBCode Formatting Extension (Alpha) 0.0.388a1 [disabled]
* BBCodeXtra 0.2.5.6
* Bookmark Duplicate Detector 0.6.2
* Check4Change 1.6
* ConquerTell 1.1.5

Illegal operation plug in

Submitted by darylu on December 1, 2006 - 8:49am

I've had alot of computer problems recently. So, I may have to try reinstalling my XP and start all over. But, I'm trying to pick away at things and see, even if I start all over, that I at least understand where things went haywire.

My specific error on FF Portable is this error that I get when it starts "Illegal Operation Plug In". There was no other info to identify it. I went to extensions and uninstalled the only one there (Duh - I don't even know which one it was), then tryed restarting and get the same thing.

Any ideas what this is? Is it XP doing bad things or is it FF?

Windows Validation plugin not compatible with FxP

The plugin installer can't detect the browser installation directory. Or, if Firefox is already installed on the host machine, it will likely install the plugin to the regular Fx installation.

There is an alternate validation method (browser independent), so this is just a heads-up.

Windows thinks a URL leads to a local file?

Hello all.

I've been using Portable Firefox for some time now, and I've always been impressed. I'm sort of a portable apps junkie. Smile I just prefer minimalist software that does the job right without alot of hassle or garbage left behind. But lately I've had problems that have me befuddled.

Obviously I've doing something wrong. I've done something or have missed something, so I'd like to ask for help.

I had no problems with 1.5.0.7. It ran like a dream. I used DefaultMyPFF to set it to the default browser. No issues. Then I get version 2.0. It runs fine, but when I try to set it as the default browser using the same technique, I get errors. Everytime I open a webpage, not only does the page open correctly, but I get a Windows message saying that it can't find the file in question. As in "Windows cannot find, "http://portableapps.com" ". Very weird.

Going from XP to Vista screwed up my profile?

Submitted by DigeratiPrime on November 29, 2006 - 1:22pm

Hello this is a really weird incident. I use Portable Firefox 2.0 on a seperate partition from my windows partition. I downloaded the latest release of portable firefox from its main page yesterday and created a new profile with it, I only copied over my existing bookmarks file. Everything was working fine.
Today I installed Vista over my Windows partition, full install, but now firefox has some weird problems. My bookmarks are not all showing, only those in subfolders. Firefox forgot my homepage and other settings, and my extensions forgot their settings. From what I understand my prefs file was completely erased.

Please help with port FF from CD

Submitted by ScottZ0 on November 29, 2006 - 11:57am

I work at a company that does not permit access to the Internet. There are a handful of sites that are unblocked. As you can imagine, it makes for a long day not having the Internet. Anyway, I used to have FF port on my PC, but the IT department kept ratting me out to my Boss. At work we use a program called putty.exe. In the past I changed the name of the firefoxportable.exe to putty.exe to get it to run. With all this being said, I need my Internet back. The IT department blocked the use of USB devices, but the cd drive works. I need to run FF port from a cd with the name changed to putty.exe. The problem is, I do not know how to change the .ini file to get it to work. Here is what I have (below). If anyone has ant suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
