Firefox Portable

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.

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 This is a result of a newer version of the underlying engine so the Firefox and Thunderbird 10 ESR releases are unaffected.

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.

I need FP Lite, but, very lite and fast, this exist?

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

Every time I get into gmail it ask me for the security exception but the button to save the exception is grey and I cant save it permanently. When I get out and in of FF13 it ask me again the certified. How can I fix it ???

thanks

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.

Seems like it is profile-related thing, because it happens with my working profile and does not happen with the clean one.

How to fix this issue?

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.
