Extensions installing to HDD?

Submitted by syberwolff on August 21, 2006 - 6:38pm

I was at work today and were just doing training so if noone has questions we do whatever we want so I was looking through and installing extensions onto Fire Fox Portable from here(U3 edition) And I just got home and popped in my U3 drive and started up FireFox Portable and none of my extensions were there.

Did it install the extensions to the HDD? I can't check until tommorow.

Is it because I have the U3 eddition? Should I uninstall that, download the regular portableapps edition and then just install it into U3 using the manifest hack?

How do I get it to install extensions onto the USB drive?

Using Firefox Portable from Work (LAN)

Hi! Hope somebody can help me. I just downloaded and installed Firefox Portable into my notebook-- had to resort to the portable app because I need Admin rights to install a software that modifies the registry-- and I dont have admin password. It worked fine when I browsed the intranet, but when I try surfing any websites outside of the intranet, google, or Firefox's default homepage for example, I cant connect and just get timed out. If I try using Internet Explorer, theres no problem with the connection. How should I configure (or whatever) the Firefox Portable app for it to work?

Lag?

I'm not sure if it's just me or if anybody else is experiencing the same...

The latest version of Firefox Portable has shown some lag every few minutes, even after I wiped and reinstalled a fresh copy of that. The older version did not give me those similiar issues...

Anyone else finding the same?

Open File, Save Page As, Save Image As, Doesn't Work

I am using Firefox Portable 1.5.06 on a Windows 2000 SP4 box. Everything works fine but Open File, Save Page As, Save Image As doesn't work.

When I select the command from the pull-down menues, or use the hot keys, the cursor changes to an hourglass until the mouse moves, then it changes back to an arrow. There is never any dialog box to open or save the file. This is true of any web page. I must resort to opening these pages in Internet Explorer (I'd rather not).

These Firefox Portable commands work fine on my Wondows XP SP2 box.

Any Ideas?

If I have Firefox sans profile on my hard drive, and the whole thing on my USB drive, and use the HD Fx to use the USB profile, would I see an improvement in performance?

And I know I'd have to modify the launcher to accept absolute file paths. Blum
