I have been using portable firfox for ages and it works ok only thing is that occasionally it tends to hang-up/pause for a few secs then continue. Firfox itself never does this. still happens with FF3 what to do . is it a bug or something else

it happens on any computer dial-up or broadband no matter what it does it.

what could be the prob.

First start-session manager question-suggestion

Submitted by m2 on June 22, 2008 - 7:37am

When I updated my FF to 3.0, I've been asked whether I want to use session manager and got 2 options: yes/no. I use a session manager in TabMixPlus extension and I wasn't sure how will this choice affect it. Will "yes" enable FF session manager instead of mine? Will "no" disable it? It missed the third option - "leave it as it is".

I've been using Firefox 2.0.0.14 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.2.0 for a long time.Recently, I heard that Firefox 3.0 was released.So I downloaded the new version(FF3+FirefoxPortable 1.5.14.0) from Portableapps.com . But,I found that when I start the firefoxportable.exe, it starts numerous tasks(more than 50), and then open plently of browser windows.
I've test :
Firefox 2.0.0.14 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.2.0 OK!
Firefox 2.0.0.14 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.14.0 OK!
Firefox 3.0 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.2.0 OK!
Firefox 3.0 + FirefoxPortable 1.5.14.0 CRASHED!!!

FF3 crashing

Love your site long time John. Thankyou so much.

Downloaded last night ff3.It crashes on startup the first time. It then starts but crashes when I go to options and change something. Then it crashed on the Google sign up page. Ive installed it to "H:\Astrix\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable" on a hard drive. I will have a fiddle.

Cheers
Astrix

History and Driver letter change

Submitted by kureta on June 20, 2008 - 8:02am

I am not sure but I think this issue has something to do with driver letter of my USB stick. It is H: on my home computer and F: on the one at work. The problem is; Firefox shows only the files I browse at home in the History. The files I browse at work do not ever go to History. Back - Forward buttons work but it adds nothing to History.
