VLC Plugin for Firefox Portable

Submitted by Samuel Elstein on July 4, 2012 - 12:53pm

Hi I would like to request portabalizing the settings for the VLC Plugin. I have found a way to make the plugin work portably but it leaves information behind. I am no programmer but I do know that thie method below works.

Here is How I got it to work:

VLC 2.0 can be done, prior versions no
You will however need to copy the folders from vlc to X:/PortableApps/FirefoxPortable/data/plugins:

osdmenu
plugins

and the files:

vlc.exe
vlc.exe.manifest
vlc-cache-gen.exe
npvlc.dll.manifest
npvlc.dll
libvlccore.dll
libvlc.dll

Can't get Firefox Sync to work

Submitted by irishtexmex on June 30, 2012 - 6:00pm

I get an error in the bottom that pops up (in the same place as the Add-on Toolbar) that says:

"Sync has not been able to complete during the last 7 days. Please check your network settings."

Is there any fix to this? I'm running Firefox Portable 13.0.1 and my Portable Apps client is up to date as well. I believe that Firefox Sync worked in previous versions which is why I have it enabled now.

FF portable impossible to update plugins

Submitted by Hansj on June 21, 2012 - 6:00am

I don't know what's going on.

In the portable apps folder with firefox there are actually 2 folders with a plugins_readme file that says "Put your plugins here". One is in data/plugins and the other is in app/defaultdata/plugins

So I started to move 2 files to data/plugins to get the flash player working. And I guess it made it work.

And when I browsed google earth it also required a plugin, and on the C drive in the installed firefox there I found the plugin and move it, so that also worked.

There were lots of other plugins and so I moved them too.

Parts of FF Portable Compromised by *Something*

Submitted by GDVX_111 on June 20, 2012 - 3:00pm

I'm still running FF 12 Portable, and all was still going fine until I booted up this morning. Certain select but important items just seem to be gone:

All Cookies
The Cache.
All History from just the last few days -- older History still there.
(However, Saved Passwords were untouched.)
Javascript functionality appears to be gone.

Remove firefox portable update

Submitted by tinyang on June 18, 2012 - 4:33pm

Hi all. I had 3.6.28 running with a plugin I use, and somehow it ended up installing the update to firefox 12 which is a problem because my plugin does not work with that version. Can someone please explain how to uninstall the FF 12 update? I looked in my add/remove programs and there was no item in the list for uninstall. Thanks.

Flash bug on Firefox 13 (and Chrome 19) ?

Submitted by mxnerd on June 16, 2012 - 2:56pm

Found FF 13 portable has difficulty loading Flash pages.

Like http://ria.sprint.com/ria/pages/index.jsp?ms=4G&INTNAV=ATG:HE:4G

The middle portion of web pages that's based on Flash is just not loading and completely blank on Firefox.

Chrome 19 portable will load the page, but you can't click any icon/button on the page.

Flash version is 11.3, don't know it's a browser problem or Flash problem.

FF 13 leaves an empty folder on Local

Submitted by veyselcelik on June 14, 2012 - 11:44am

I've just downloaded FirefoxPortable_13.0_English.paf and install it on a folder on my desktop. I launched FirefoxPortable and then, i closed it. And it left an empty folder here.

C:\Users\Asus\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox

What can be the problem?

I'm using Windows 7 64bit. And I have never installed normal non-portable firefox.
