How do I set the tab bar to be besides the Fx menu button when Fx' window is maximized? (v12 installer changed my UI layout)

How do I set the tab bar to be besides the Firefox menu button when Firefox' window is maximized?

I.e. How do I set this: http://i.imgur.com/Mkyvz.png to be like this: http://i.imgur.com/ZvxJS.png ?

This happens on Firefox Portable v12. Its tab bar layout changed when I upgraded to Firefox 12 from 11 through the Fx Portable installer.

This happens even when Firefox' window is maximized. I tried customizing the toolbar but can't seem to find the proper arrangement.

Steps I already tried (but didn't work):
Toggling the restore/maximize Window button

[SOLVED] App. 20 secs delay in every connection with Firefox Portable 12 on Windows 7 64 bit

Hello,

I don't have this problem on my Windows XP SP3 netbook. On my more powerful HP Pavilion 64 bit Windows 7 computer, Firefox portable version 12, which is located on the local NTFS hard drive (not on a USB drive), delays in the beginning of every connection at least 20 seconds. Then suddenly it loads the page normally. It looks like in the beginning of each connection attempt something prevents it from loading the page for a long time.

Running it as administrator or making all main and subfolders not read only did not solve this issue...

Portable Firefox 12.0

Submitted by SpaceCadet on May 2, 2012 - 8:48pm

I currently have Portable Firefox 11.0 on my machine. I downloaded version 12.0 last night but when I tried to install it just as I did since version 3.6, it gave me the error that the path is not valid. This is the same directory that I have been using since version 3.6 (c:\program files\applications\internet applications\portable mozilla firefox). I tried to copy the file into the directory and tried to install it from there, but I still got the same error. Does anyone have the same error or know how I can fix this problem? I don't want to install fresh and lose all of my setting.

Firefox 3.6 Folder Gets Larger in size

Submitted by earthseeker on April 27, 2012 - 2:26pm

Howdy Guys
My initial install the folder size is(was)45.4 megs with 950 files and 226 folders-everytime I go online the size keeps increasing,I have the phishing and web forgeries turned off so the urlclassifier stays the same size but the folder size keeps getting larger,I clean my cache and cookies(clean everything)but still it is larger-My extensions are all up to date,is this something I should worry about? I copy the folder to My Documents and after I am done browsing I copy it back.

The files and folder are the same(950 and 226)why does it keep growing?

Write only partition

Submitted by markwm1 on April 26, 2012 - 9:00pm

I want to run Firefox Portable from a locked, write only partition on a usb stick. However, that cannot be done unless I allow temporary writing to the host computer. I do not want to allow that. Is there any way to change configuration files or other source files that will allow this kind of use?

Portable Fonts not recognized

Submitted by Anselmo Turnedo on April 26, 2012 - 1:22pm

Portable fonts not recognized by the PortableFirefox v12 I use. When I go to Tools > Options > Content > Fonts & Colors, the only fonts available are the built-in Windows fonts, the portablefonts are not there. I even tried to change the fonts used in the UI with the Theme Font & Size Changer add-on, the same situation also exists - it cannot see the portablefonts.

Flash for Firefox Portable

Submitted by mariop on April 26, 2012 - 12:04pm

I once had this problem, with Flash 10.x, but I fixed it with NPSWF32.dll file added to my FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins directory.
When Flash moved to 11.x version, the same problem, but it was harder to find a solution.
I found it here: http://notepad.patheticcockroach.com/2243/flash-11-for-portable-browsers...

Works just fine with most recent pages needing Flsh 11.x

Getting Existing Add-Ons etc. on-board: What Am I Missing Here ?

Submitted by GDVX_111 on April 26, 2012 - 12:39am

I've done my best to follow the directions in Portable Support *to the letter*, over several versions of Portable FF. Nevertheless, I continue to lack the presence of around 16 Add-Ons (Extensions), long-installed to the Profile I have cloned for use by the portable version. These extensions are kind of "make it or break it" to my daily use of FireFox. (It would be so much easier if there was some way to just point to an established Profile -- like with a Config setting -- and have Portable FF obey that.)
