Firefox Portable

Integrated search

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 22, 2006 - 11:23pm

Is someone able to tell me why the integrated search feature on my PFF 1.5 works fine EXCEPT for the Google option. I select google search from the list and enter in a search string, instead of then displaying the resluts page it just takes me to Google's homepage. This is quite annoying actually since I find Google superior to all the others.
Also when it takes me to the Google homepage the page is in Chinese, I assume this is because I'm currently living in China, but I'm not Chinese. So how can I get it to give me English?

Cheers,
gabe

GAIM connects but not Firefox

Submitted by Mikew07 on January 20, 2006 - 4:52pm

Hey at school the computers are suppoused to be locked down so people cant access the internet; however triallian and portable GAIM both can connect to the net (I think because of the ports not sure) Is there any way to modify firefox so it can access these holes too? The reason this sparks so much intrest is the person in charge of the network repeatedly claims there are no holes, i wanna prove him wrong.
Thanks

Auto backup of bookmarks is killing my Portable Firefox

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 17, 2006 - 7:19pm

Is there any way to disable the automatic bookmark backup feature that keeps on adding backed up bookmark files into the "bookmarksbackup" folder? My bookmark is pretty big and this keeps on aggravating my profile. The situation is even worse in my portable version of firefox, where it tries to backup the bookmark at the beginning and save it as a bookmark.bak file while exiting and in the process takes on ages, not to mention the reduction in life of my flash drive. I need to disable this auto-backup feature, desperately. Please help.
