Deer Park Java Problems

Submitted by TheRed on December 20, 2005 - 5:19pm

This is probably unsupported, but don't yell at me. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I can't get Java working on portable firefox

I already had portable firefox working nicely, downloaded Deer Park 1.6 Alpha 2, compressed all the dlls and exes with upx and put it into my /firefox/ directory (where the core firefox stuff is). Java applets do not load, but sun's website detects java. All my plugins are in he /plugins/ directory. On Deer park on my computer, Java Works, and on portable firefox 1.5 java works. But it's not working on Deer park.

XUL cache reenables itself in pFF 1.5!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on December 18, 2005 - 9:43am

Everytime i try to deactivate xul cache it reenables automatically on restart. I cannot deactivate it, so everytime it creates the XUL.mfl of nearly 2 MB.
everytime i try to set the "nglayout.debug.disable_xul_cache" line to "true" (via about:config or editing prefs.js) pFF changes it back to false.
This used not to happen with 1.0.x
Any way to turn it off for good in 1.5?

My extensions in pff:

Big..

Hey i just love the portable stuff very, how you say, cool.

But why is firefox 1.5 not compressed?

Cheers

Firefox/Deer Park 1.6a1 portable

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on December 16, 2005 - 10:17am

I copied the 1.6a1 directory structure into the my Portable Firefox structure and aside from having to reset some extension settings everything seems to be working fine.

Will this cause any problems?

Am I truely running portably in this configuration or does this configuration cause some data to be written to other locations?

Thanks

Custom splash screen not working

Submitted by Team Loco on December 15, 2005 - 11:03am

In an effort to further integrate Portable Firefox with my OS theme, I made my own splashscreen by modifying the original located here:

/portablefirefoxcode/PortableFirefox.jpg.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. The new one is the same dimension, color depth, format, etc. as the original; but everytime I launch I see the original splashscreen.

I searched through all the directories and I couldn't find where in the heck it was still getting the original splashscreen from (It was deleted after I backed it up on the local HD).

Weird.

Anyone?

Run Portable FX -- alongside -- Mozilla FX

Submitted by daniel on December 15, 2005 - 6:30am

Is there anyway I can run (concurrently) a copy of Portable Firefox (any version) and also run Mozilla* Firefox (any version) together in the same session?

For instance, right now I have Portable Firefox v1.07 loaded. I want to load up Mozilla Firefox v1.5. When I click on the icon for Mozilla Firefox v1.5, it just loads up another window of Portable Firefox v1.07 instead.

1) What gives?

2) Does this have to do with having the same window title (name)? If so, back then sometime long ago, I ran across some sort of extension which generated a random window title upon startup, but I can not seem to find it. Anyone know what I am talking about?
