Firefox looking like IE

Submitted by StephenQ on September 29, 2006 - 12:24am

I know that you have written a section on how to make Firefox look like IE, over here: http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/firefox_internet_explorer/.
This is all great, except for the fact that Bamms site is offline as you acknowledged, and your prebuilt profile for PFF "does not fully work with 1.5."

Would it be possible, for you to maintain this and maybe add a link on the portable firefox page to a profile download? Many people would probably benefit from it, as using PFF in an environment where you aren't allowed to run other applications, eg: Work, Schools, etc. Im sure many dont know about it either.

John, would you please release an updated launcher with support for the ini inside the \PortableApps\ folder? I keep the ini in \PortableApps\FirefoxPortable. I tried to modify it myself, but I don't know much about NSIS, and it's not as simple as changing line 91:
IfFileExists "$EXEDIR\${NAME}.ini" "" NoINI
to
IfFileExists "$EXEDIR\PortableApps\${NAME}\${NAME}.ini" "" NoINI

MD5

I get a different MD5 sum from the one given. For the .exe I get: C9D3636C89F38A7A14F27422D256AF07

Also, I cannot find a way to just search the forums. Is there?

idea: portable firefox stealth edition

Submitted by easterlingman on September 27, 2006 - 11:07am

This would basically be portable Firefox built for express use in a work environment that actively prohibits the use of Firefox (or any "unauthorized" software). it would come pre-installed with the user agent switcher extension (which would default to internet explorer's UA string), the internet explorer skin and icons (details on how to make firefox look like internet explorer here). being portable, firefox would already be undetectable for snoopy IT admins browsing your profile.

After update to 1.5.0.7 splash screen can't be deactivated

Submitted by R. on September 27, 2006 - 8:25am

After the update to FFP 1.5.0.7 (copied over the previous version) the "DisableSplashScreen=true" no more seems to work. The FFP.ini is in the proper location, in the root directory, next to FFP.exe.

(Apart from that: just noticed, while checking the forum's "preview" pane, that this post here was submitted by me "on December 31, 1969".)

1.5.0.7 - FirefoxPortable.ini ignored?

Submitted by sydhart on September 27, 2006 - 12:32am

Running PFF from CD, with directory structure:

AUTORUN.INF (custom, runs FirefoxPortable.exe)
FirefoxPortable.ini
FirefoxPortable.exe
FirefoxPortable
  index.htm (custom start page)
  help.html
  App
  Other
  Data

PFF seems to ignore FirefoxPortable.ini (when running from either a local folder or CD).

I've read the readme. What might be wrong here?

Integrating With Gigaget

Submitted by ChrisInThailand on September 26, 2006 - 10:35pm

Does anyone have an idea about how to get portable Firefox to integrate with the GigaGet downloader? When trying to make it the default downloader for Firefox, Gigaget only searches for the firefox.exe file and wont recognise portableFirefox.exe??
