FireFtp and portable firefox

Submitted by spacefrog on October 31, 2006 - 4:08am

Hello again !

First of all I must say that I am now totally converted to Portables Apps and I never go anywhere without my USB Key

I have a little problem with FireFTP ...

Is there any reason why fireFTP should not work woth portable firefox ?

I'm quite sure that it did work in the first place but I simply cannot get a connection now ...
A click on the connect button has no effect at all ... Sad

I can't event create accounts !:((

Are there any other FTP extensions that would work ?

OK forget about it ... I just realized what FileZilla was about :))
Now I have to go

Although Firefox 2.0 was released on October 24th, Firefox Portable 2.0 has not yet been released in its final form. We're still finalizing some of the licensing with Mozilla before putting it out for the world to enjoy. You can expect a Firefox Portable 2.0 Pre-Release in the next few days with a slightly modified setup routine and, once that's tested by a few folks, it'll be released to the world.

Until then... please hold. Your call is important to us. Your call will be answered in the order it was received. (Hum appropriate mellow instrumental music to yourself)

major slowdown lately

Submitted by boombass on October 30, 2006 - 1:28pm

I have been using Firefox Portable for a while now, and it seems to be much slower lately. I notice the little blue LED on my USB flash drive flickers on and off periodically, as if information is being read from and written to the drive during my surfing sessions. This happens at the weirdest times, like when I'm typing a message in gmail. I don't think this happened as much when I started using Portable Firefox, but I can't be sure. Maybe it started when I updated to version 1.5.0.7?

My flash drive is a OCZ Mini-Kart 2.0 GB. I am using it on a USB 2.0 compatible port.

Any ideas? Could it be the new version? Is there a way I can prevent it from reading and writing to the drive so much?

Splash Extention Difficulties

Submitted by campsoup1988 on October 30, 2006 - 11:57am

Im trying to use FireFox's Splash Extention, https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2995/ to create my own Splash page, but because it is on my portable drive, my drive letter sometimes changes, either from E:\ G:\ or K:\ depending on which computer I use, but the Splash Extention talkes the full file name directory ( E:\... image.jpg) instead of just (\image.jpg)

Thanks for your help,

difficulty closing

Submitted by Miles on October 30, 2006 - 12:41am

Using thumb drive SunDisk U3 2gb with FFP & TBP installed, not U3 apps.

Attempt to close the drive by first closing U3 icon. But when click on Safely Remove Hardware icon, it complains "the device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try later." Programs on the thumb have been closed.

How to install Flashplayer & Shockwave in FF

Submitted by Miles on October 29, 2006 - 11:51pm

Evidently FFP does not include these two. I have been told that they are avaible as extensions for the portable as opposed to plugins. Regardless, can't find any info on Adobe's site so downloaded and attempted to install and receive window "Could not execute." And "windows can't find I:\(the thumb drive)\system\app\3c9f7b~1/exec\ FF\FF.exe.)

Also tried moving it to the thumb drive and installing from there, with same result. Files are shockwave_installer_slim.exe and install_flash_player.exe
