Firefox Portable

Extension problem

Submitted by Glenn on February 13, 2006 - 7:58pm

I have PFF 1.5 on my USB stick with the "Mr Tech Local Install" extension.
THat has a facility to specify an editor to view or edit user.js and several other files. Because you don't know what drive letter the USB stick is going to have on a particular computer I am unable to specify a command line to find an editor.
I've thought of putting notepad in the PFF exe file directory but can't get anything to happen.

Accessing external URL from Portable Firefox - Opening the default browser from PFF

Submitted by phillyboy on February 13, 2006 - 2:08pm

Hi All,

I developed an application that uses Portable Firefox browser, and works very well with it. However, I have one problem for now. When I click on a link (hyperlink with extrnal URL) within the content are of my application, the link opens up another instance of Portable Firefox browser window for display.

Since this link is an external URL, how can I have Portable Firefox it up with user's default browser, such as IE?

Can Portable Firefox connect to a URL (external to my application), and open the URL with user's default browser (connection and proxy settings), even in a firewall environment?

Hi,

how to make PortableFirefox not saving any temporary files or some other stuff on host operating system?

And is there any working method to make PortableFirefox running completely in read-only mode? Perhaps except bookmark-manager Wink

I want to make sure not leaving any traces in operating system i ***used*** to start PortableFirefox.

***) Is PortableFirefox linked statically?
Really running stand-alone?

Tips and tricks are appreciated.

Yea, I know this's been asked a milliom times before

I'm having a bit of difficulty changing the splash for port firefox. I opened up the .nsi in HM NSI Editor, but have not a farking clue what to do. Plus, whenever I try to compile the .nsi, I get an error.

Invalid command: FindProcDLL::FindProc
Error in script "G:\PortableFirefox\PortableFirefoxCode\Copy of PortableFirefox.nsi" on line 187 -- aborting creation process

Any ideas? I just need to know how to change the splash, and what this error means.

Bug with Quicknote extension

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on February 10, 2006 - 10:25am

It happens with the new version of the Portable Firefox. I think it doesn't manage to change the relative path or something like that. That's the error shown in Quicknote Tab:

// #5 File e:\PortableApps\Data\PortableFirefox\profile\chrome\quicknote1.txt is invalid or does not exist.

Is there a reference for PFF's JavaScript? The standard DOM doesn't seem to work.

I am in a situation where I need to develop some client side magical forms with JavaScript. Everything I come up with works with IE but not with PFF. Can you direct me to a reference area for such development?

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Spellbound extension working for anyone?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on February 8, 2006 - 11:06am

This is day two of my Portable Firefox experience, and I have to say it is excellent. I can now have a consistant Firefox environment at work and at home.

The only thing I cannot get to work for me is Spellbound. It installs, and so does the dictionary. It just isn't in the right click menu.

I'm on Windows in both environs, and that is just the nature of the work I do. Not a choice. So I do not know if it is alright on Linux or Mac.

Other than that Portable Firefox has not given me a single problem. From install to useage, it has been a breeze.

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance provided,
