Missing frame in 1.5.0.6

Submitted by mithridates on August 13, 2006 - 10:31pm

Portable Firefox 1.5.0.4 displays a quickquote frame for schwab.com. So does 1.5.0.6 regular Firefox. Firefox Portable 1.5.0.6 does not show this frame. Why? What do I need to change? No extensions run on any of these. No changes from the default set-up, except to not close tab bar with only site open.

Portable Firefox crashes when I play media in the browser. Most of the time, it happens on YouTube but it also happens in WMP streaming media. Can anyone help me solve this?

I'm running on Windows XP.
And FFP is Version 1.5.0.6

How can I stop Portable Firefox from being tracked?

Submitted by Sparxxx on August 11, 2006 - 9:25am

I work in a company where they don't allow us to use other browsers besides IE.
Is there a way i can stop Portable Firefox from being tracked by the guys from IT and the proxy?
I changed the skin (it looks 99% like IE, besides the different menus), renamed the proces so it should show up as IEXPLORE.EXE
What else can i do so that the IT team does not track me down using Firefox?
Thanks in advance

Differences between Firefox Portable and normal Firefox

Submitted by peter_pan on August 9, 2006 - 9:05am

I always thought that besides the location of the profile folder and the launcher as well as some different default settings, Firefox Portable is the same as the non-portable version of Firefox.

Can you tell me whether there are any other significant differences?

I ask this because I am having a problem with an extension. I don't get a drop-down list in this extension where I am supposed to get one. But with the non-portable version of Firefox it does work. So, I wonder what difference could be responsible for this problem.

Diigo Firefox extension problem with Firefox Portable

Submitted by peter_pan on August 8, 2006 - 5:05pm

Every single extension I installed so far worked flawlessly with Firefox Portable, but now there is one extension that does not.

It is the Diigo Firefox toolbar extension and it works *almost* as it is supposed to. There is just one drop-down list in a pop-up window that just doesn't show when I click on the little downward arrow to the left of the entry field. Clicking there does nothing, nothing happens. However, in the non-portable version of Firefox the drop-down list does show (same version number for portable and non-portable version of Firefox).

So, I now wonder what this could be due to?
