Portable Firefox 2.0 doesn't remember changes

Submitted by shroomy115 on November 27, 2006 - 8:29pm

I recently installed Firefox Portable 2.0, having used Firefox Portable for almost a year now. With this new version, I noticed that when I close the program and then open it again, any changes I have made to the layout of Firefox is reset. For example, Firefox always opens in a smaller window, not maximized as I had it before closing. Another example, any changes I made to the toolbars (getting rid of the bookmarks toolbar, in particular) are undone when I reopen. I tried disabling all my extensions, but this still did not fix the problem.

When I installed 2.0, I copied my profile from my old Firefox directory to the new.

Click in window brings to top of page

I gave a glance but not a hardy look through Mozilla site looking for info about the tittle of this thread. At first i did not notice this issue but i seem to see it more and more and it is a tad odd. Whenever I open a page like here or on another forum or any site i visit. If it is longer than can be displayed on the screen and has to be scrolled if I scroll down and click a link it brings right back up to the top of the page. A tad annoying if you are looking at a 50 post thread on a single window and click a link near the bottom and have to scroll back down to click it again to open it.

Extensions will not finish installs

Submitted by squeeze on November 25, 2006 - 6:47am

I'm running FFP 2.0, an upgrade from my FFP 1.5.0.7 installation. I never used extensions before in FFP and decided to start with 2.0. I installed Adblock Plus, Tab Mix Plus, and the Adblock Filterset updater. The initial installs went fine but all three say that the installation will finish when Firefox is restarted. When I restarted (either by prompting from the extension install or manual), the extensions still do not install. I have rebooted several times and check to make sure not Firefox.exe processes are running.

Any other ideas? A new profile?

PROXY.PAC

Submitted by fujii13 on November 24, 2006 - 11:07am

I have my PAC file setup to use a proxy at work and not at home and it's worked out great in testing on my home and work laptops, but when I switch to my desktops, I run into some problems.
Since the laptops have a single optical drive, and the desktops have two optical drives, the drive letter for the PAC URL in PFF is wrong. That's fine for my home desktop b/c if the PAC file isn't found it switches to direct connection, but for my work PC (which I use primarily) the file isn't found and I get no connection until i redirect the file.
Is there any way to use a generic URL that points to wha

Use Which Plugin Folder ?

Submitted by PeterB on November 24, 2006 - 5:06am

Hi

When installing Plugins (Flash, Shockwave, etc.) I tried to follow the instructions at:

https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#cd

Which says: ".. Copy the plugin .. to your FirefoxPortable\plugins directory"

However my Firefox Portable has 3 plugins directories:

..\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\plugins
..\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\plugins
..\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins

Which plugin folder should I use or does it matter ?
