app tabs ... how can I make that work?

Submitted by petiot on June 8, 2012 - 4:29am

Hi All,

I need your help guys to solve a problem with app tabs: Once I have pinned a tab (as app tab), it does appear when I open a instance of Firefox portable.

However, if i open another instance of Firefox (without having closed the first one), the pinned tab does not show. Worst, If the instance of Firefox that does not have the pinned tab is closed last, the app tab will not show when I open Firefox again.

Anyone has an idea how to make app tabs work? I guess that having all instances of Firefox to show the pinned tabs is what I am aiming for.

Thanks in advance, Dan

For some reason I don't understand, when I go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Edition%2013.0/, I cannot select either FirefoxPortable_13.0_English.paf.exe or FirefoxPortable_13.0_EnglishGB.paf.exe. I can select any of the others. Unfortunately, I only read/write in English.

howdya fellas!
what is the recommended or best cache size limit for firefox portable 13 whose folder is located not on a flashdisk but on hdd?
is it best to leave it as is which is automatic cache management?
or is it better to limit the cache size to something like 50 MB, 100 MB, 250 MB, etc?
got big enough hdd and free space & broadband connection.
please don't bother to say "what suits your needs is the best!" or something like that.
thanks.

[Closed] - firefox portable 13 - no content in new tab view

I was using the Firefox beta 13 for a while so I thought that maybe the function was not working as like being still tested.

New tab is now supposed to show you 'thumbnails' of web pages like Opera.

Updated portable Firefox 12 to 13 today and that feature still shows blank thumbnails.

I have installed normal (not portable) copy of Firefox 13 also updated from normal Firefox 12 and the new tab feature shows the thumbnails.

Any other user of Firefox portable 13 seeing this (or not seeing - ha ha)?

Happy days,

Hugh

Lets say I have Thunderbird Portable and Firefox Portable. Both works fine. At least when both apps are running. When I click links (www.justexample.com) in Thunderbird it calls another FFoxPortable window. Great. When I click a file test.html on my desktop - it works the same way.

Now, I shut down FireFoxPortable. Click again test.html on my desktop or www.justexample.com in external application. Firefox opens, but bypassing "portable" loader and I got wrong profile.
