Firefox Portable

Problem: Can not load web pages

Submitted by pharcyde3682 on February 21, 2007 - 7:12am

I've been trying everything I can think of but I can't get around this error:

ERROR
Proxy Error

The proxy encountered an error.

Please try again later.

The thing is, I used ProxyGet and it says that I don't have a proxy. I am at work and the only websites that open are the intranet websites. Can't even get into google, which works fine on IE here along with a few other sites.

Portable Firefox instances still on the site

John,

There's still a few places where you use the terms "Portable Firefox" on the site. I'm not sure if it is intentional but I definitely found them on the following two pages:

https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization
https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable

You can use ctrl + f to find them. Just thought I'd let you know.

The installer DELETES YOUR BACKUP FILES !!

Submitted by jsimlo on February 17, 2007 - 7:29am

Very, very saddly, I have to report, that the current installer of the Firefox Portable 2.0.0.1 searches your drive and deletes other installations of Firefox.

Just a few minutes ago, I have installed the Firefox Portable 2.0.0.1 on my usb drive (into a folder named "FirefoxPortable"). On the same drive, in another folder (named "FirefoxPortable1"), there was my old installation of Firefox Portable.. Now it is entirely gone, the "FirefoxPortable1" folder is empty.. The settings, the history, the bookmarks, the extensions ..everythings deleted. I tried to undelete but it's of no good.

Even though FF is checked as defaujlt in tools, every time I reopen FF it is not checked. So I rechek, then then the next time it will start when a link is clicked on in TB.

If don't recheck, when in TB and click on a link, most annoyingly it starts IE and does not ask if I want to start FF.. This occurs when traveling and using different computers

Sometimes extensions and settings just disappear

Hello,

So sometimes my settings and extensions just disappear. All my bookmarks still seem to be here, and my passwords. When I look at my add-ons, all of my extensions say they will be installed when Firefox is restarted, but I've been using them for months so there isn't a reason they shouldn't be installed already.
