Firefox Portable

testing extensions on FirefoxPortable

Submitted by tnarik on October 23, 2006 - 5:52pm

I'm an extension developer and as I use several PCs I would really interested in being able to develop my extensions on a USB drive (which I otherwise use constantly). Right now I have the development version of my extensions on the USB drive and use a local installation of Firefox to test them.
I've been trying to install the extensions on FirefoxPortable (and previously on PortableFirefox) using the same method I use for testing: just create a file on the extensions folder, with the content being the path to the extension folder. That doesn't work on FirefoxPortable. Not with absolute paths, not with relative paths.

new U3 Version of Firefox?

Submitted by mb2 on October 23, 2006 - 9:37am

Hello,

will there ever be a new U3 Version of Firefox or Thunderbird?

I looked in the forum, but found no hint on the last pages...

Please don't tell me to use the portable version instead, as i have a U3 Stick and i want the software to be shown in the U3 Launchpad.

If it is possible to decompress the portable version and put it in the exec directory on the u3 stick and that works "as an update" - that would be fine.

As the 1.5.0.7 might be the last 1.5 version John could think of a new release of that version.

Why can I not access https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions.php?app=firefox

I get the loving message of,

The connection has timed out

The server at addons.mozilla.org is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Yet the same applies to hotmail, nothing else seem to bother it.
