Firefox Portable

I don't have that problem with the non-portable Firefox. And I don't remember it happening when I first got Portable. Maybe it was a different version then. But now...sheesh.

I'll start to type a password and after three letters nothing shows up. I wait about 5-10 seconds and I can type again. Or I pull down a menu and wait...until it lets up and drops the menu. I can't even click anything during the hangs. The buttons won't highlight as the mouse goes over.

It started out being just an occasional hang but now it's really frequent. And annoying. I was trying to get out of the office one day. I just wanted to see if my post to a group had posted before I left. All I had to do was refresh the page, scroll down, and then scroll back up to log out. It hung after each little step. I refreshed. Then I had to wait to scroll. Then I had to wait to scroll back up. I had to wait before I could hit the link to sign off. Then I had to wait to hit the X to close the program.

Whenever I download something, Fx slows down quite a bit. I mean the program speed, not connection speed. Any ideas why this is?

For some reason, some files on my USB drive became corrupted. I ran chkdsk, and that recovered most of the files, but some were deleted! The really bad thing about it is that the prefs.js file for Fx is gone, and while I was able to get most of my preferences set, some will not stay.
I can't customize my toolbar. I can change things, but I'm back to default when I open Fx again. I made sure that prefs.js and user.js were writable. It's quite odd because my status bar icons were out of order, and I was able to rearrange them and keep the settings, and I was also to change the theme, which also stays.

Hi everyboby, I open this topic with the intention of create a list of not portable extensions.

A "not portable extension" is usually one that uses absolute paths in his settings.

Some not portable extension are:

I am really pleased to see Bon Echo available on portable downloads but its now out of fashion, there is a sleeker new version to get. Can anyone tell me when this will be available to download thanks.

How do these options work, and how much can they speed up PFF?
There is only one computer I use that might not use E: as the drive letter.

I just installed PFF on my 1 GB flash drive and it won't load any websites. What could be causing this? My normal install of Firefox works just fine. Only PFF doesn't work.

How do i change the toolbar bookmar icons?

please help me!

I've just reinstalled Portable Fx for work purposes; I do work both in the office and at home, and it would be useful to be able to keep my settings with me.

I seem to be experiencing lagginess when switching between tabs and such. I've not experienced this with older versions I tried out. I'm thinking that maybe the ports on my machine are USB 1.1, and I think I've been using 2.0 before. This could be causing an issue, I suppose, but does anyone have any possible fixes for this? I'm using Portable Fx v1.5.0.3

Cheers!

How do I disable the icons on the bookmark toolbar. Some skins do it by default, but my current skin does not. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a solution. I found on for disabling bookmark icons in the menu but not the toolbar. There has to be a way. Any idea's?

Thanks,
Mike
