Firefox Portable

Hi all,

Previously, I had a post regarding my Firefox getting really slow and pages take ages to load, and in a lot of cases, don't load in the 1st place...

What I want to do is run a new Portable Firefox, but want to backup my information from this current one...
How can I backup the following:
- visited websites
- saved usernames/passwords
- installed extensions (instead of having to reinstall all of them again)

For Bookmarks, as far as I recall, its from "Organize Bookmarks", then Export or Import...

How can I backup/Restore the above mentioned data in Firefox?

On the link below, you can learn to change the directory of the FF cache.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory

I have made it so, that FF portable (I wan't to minimize the number of writes to the flash disk) uses C://Cache as it's cache directory. Is it possible to make a .bat/NSIS file that will delete the Cache directory when run.

Thanks in advance.

Is anyone else experiencing what I can best describe as 'stuttering' or 'jerkiness' when using FF3B5P?

It appears to happen mostly 2-3 seconds after opening or reloading a page, and the entire FF browser hangs for 3-5 seconds. Then it comes back up and everything is OK and it continues to run fine, until the next time it stutters.

I suspect this has something to do with disk writes. I've been watching my thumbdrive's LED and FF3 appears to beat on my drive hard.

I have not run any of the previous releases of 3 so I am not sure if this behavior is new to B5 or not.

Hi

On this page : http://www.blokus.com/online-game/

there are 2 flash windows

For me (tested on 2 configurations, with PF 2.0.13) the "left one" load OK

But the "right one" (window to register or login) never load OK (animation keep showing).

(All is OK with IE7)

Am I alone ?...

Could another person confirm this problem ?...

Thx

Hi,

I'm currently using Portable Firefox 3.0 Beta 5.

I'd like to try out a nightly build, but I'd like to make it portable first so as not to screw up my installation.

Question: how to do that?

Thx,
D

Normally I have my portable software on an USB stick. But it got damaged and so I copied everything to my notebook. When I start it local, everything works fine. But when I share the folder over my network and start Firefor or Thunderbird from it,

FFP2.0.0.13, XP and Vista.

First, I installed FFP to my own computer. I was in rush so I didn't try to run the program at that time. Then, I tried to run the program on my work computer. It ran, but none of addons and themes are working properly. So, I reinstalled the program in different folder while keeping the original installation folder in the same drive. Then, I installed all addons and themes from scratch and it worked perfectly with my work computer. The story didn't end here.I tried to run the program on a computer in my school's lab, but none of extensions and themes work again!

For some reason, when I started my Firefox Portable today, my homepage settings wre changed with one window opening and 2 tabs displaying. I think one tab was the default Firefox search page, the other was a page explaining Session Manager). When I opened Firefox later, the same thing happened. Then, later I downloaded a file and upon completion, the file displayed in the Download Pop-up box (I used to have my settings NOT remember downloaded files). Also, in the privacy tab, Firefox was no longer set to clear my private data when I close Firfox (another setting I USED to have).

I have a problem with Firefox that's been for something like a month now...

When I start Firefox, websites load fast, nice and smoothly.
After a while, pages take a long time to load (sometimes wait for 5mins and nothing is loaded). All what I get is the loading circular progressbar in the tab.
Also, when I have multiple tabs running at the same time, I may get the same problem.

Usually, for me to solve this problem, I "End Process Tree" and reopen Firefox Portable then restore session (to avoid the loss of the contents of the other tabs), and then the webpage opens.
