Portable Firefox, Flash problem

Submitted by Plaah007 on August 20, 2012 - 5:07am

I have installed the flash to portable Firefox and it works great on computers that don't have any flash. But the problem is that the computer I want to use it on has outdated Flash installed and I can't update it because I don't have administrator account. So when I try to open some game sites that need flash 10+, it opens and all seems to work great.. but after I press the Start button so that the game would start the flash freezes.

Any ideas what to do?

Profile Location? And can I install Firefox on Internal Hard drive?

When I had the non-portable Firefox installed I knew where the profile was but I can't seem to find where the profile is for Firefox portable.

Also, can I install Firefox portable on an internal hard drive?

If so, to save myself re-installing, can I just copy and paste my firefox portable directory off my flash drive anywhere onto my internal hard drive?

Tabs on bottom

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.
