Firefox Portable

Tabs on bottom

Submitted by billmcct on July 24, 2012 - 10:49pm

Downloaded the FireFox beta 15.1 today. I can't seem to find a way to put the tabs on the bottom as I could in earlier versions. Is it no longer possible to do this? I'm just too used to using the Palemoon 12.? port of Mozilla that I haven't really been using FF much. With only 512 MB memory FF freezes my system. PM uses much less memory. Anyway I would like to get the old style interface back if someone could tell me how. Thanks,

I recently experienced an issue where Firefox Portable would freeze upon loading YouTube. The problem seemed related to Flash but I managed to find a solution here:

I think the FAQ for including Flash in Firefox Portable should be updated to reflect this. Previously only the dll was needed but it seems now FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_300_257.exe is needed too.

"Untrusted connection.." at work when they installed non-portable FF

Have been using Firefox Portable (always updated to the latest version) at work for a number of years, due to being in a locked down admin-only environment running XP and IE6. Always worked fine and also used Firefox Sync to keep in sync with my normal (non-portable) Firefox at home.

Hi.

I frequently need to switch between my work place's windows 7 and home's mac book pro. I would love to be able to continue my browsing etc. I am not concern about bookmark. Rather I need to continue the browsing tabs that I left open when I was at work so I could continue at home on my mac. (Yes. I do market research and have lots of tabs open) I use firefox portable with my flash drive. So, how do I make sure both MAC and Win firefox portable use the same info so I could continue where I left off?

Thanks.
Marc

[Fixed] Mozilla Apps Leave Empty Directory Behind

Firefox Portable 13.0.1, Thunderbird Portable 13.0.1 and SeaMonkey Portable 2.10.1 leave behind an empty folder within $LOCALAPPDATA of Mozilla\Firefox, Thunderbird and Mozilla\SeaMonkey respectively. This is a result of a newer version of the underlying engine so the Firefox and Thunderbird 10 ESR releases are unaffected.

Is it safe to restart?

if you change themes or addon extensions the program tells you it needs to be restarted. Is it safe just to say yes to this instead of stopping and restarting the program?

My worry would be that instead of restarting the portable program it would just start the normal program instead.
