Quicktime Integration

Submitted by nanenj on September 12, 2006 - 7:19pm

Can you remove this? It's really annoying that quicktime tries to take over handling certain filetypes and it's impossible to get the file-types to present the usual quesition dialog asking what you want to do 'save or open'.

The use of some extensions

Submitted by chinookman on September 5, 2006 - 10:48pm

Hey folks...been using FFP for some time but just now am getting to where I want to synch my desk top w/ the thumb drive.

I tried a bookmark synch app but only the desk top would work and the thumbdrive unit would not....I do not know if there are any limitaitons on the portable one.....I also would like to synch my extensions for both browsers the desk top and thumb drive but do not have the time or the tech savvy to debug.....

Your comments and suggestions welcomed.....!

PS since I'm a newbie how did this happen...?......

Bon Echo Beta 2 Portable remapped my "My Documents" folder. I think.

Like it says. I tried importing preferences into Tab Mix Plus, but when I clicked My Documents in the open dialog it showed a blank space. I went to Windows Explorer and saw that when I clicked My Documents I was redirected into Firefox Portable/Data/userprofile. I use the FirefoxPortable.ini file to map userprofile to that folder, as specified in the Firefox Portable support page. I'm not sure what exactly caused this, but the only thing I was doing at the time was installing extensions and configuring a newly downloaded Beta 2 Portable.

FFP stops talking to the internet

Submitted by Wilderness on September 1, 2006 - 6:47pm

I set up FFP on a 1 GB thumb drive yesterday, along with Thunderbird, Foxit Reader, NVU Portable, and a couple other apps. Firefox was up & running like a champ, I imported my bookmarks from my home installation of Firefox, and I was quite happy with it (digital watch & all Wink ).
Seeing as how I still had a ton of space left over on my drive, I got a bright idea (queue dramatic music of something bad about to happen) and attempted to install a minimalist version of Linux on the same drive.
Before i go any further, let me explain my rationalle. The linux installtion (http://runt.mybox.org/) is intended to function if the flash drive is used as a bootable device. The install only uses about 128 MB and a posting on the discussion board for the distro even seems to suggest that it's possible to save media to the drive & access it again http://runt.mybox.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=57&start=0&postdays=0&posto...

Possible FFP 2.0 problem

Submitted by yehoni on September 1, 2006 - 11:47am

Firfox 2.0 is going to include a built-in session manager. Since session managers tend to be an exceedingly bad idea when FFP is installed on a flash drive, I wanted to know if this was going to cause problems. I *think* the session manager is only operative when you perform an update or install an extension, so it shouldn't slow down normal opperation the way most session managers do, but I thought I'd check.
