Firefox Portable

27August2012

Recently I have been checking out HideIP options when browsing ...
AdvOR crashed almost every time I tried to use it.

I then tried the xB Browser and finally managed to see how it works.
xB was last updated around 2010 with the then current MFF browser ...
I found out that I/one can (easily) blend the xB (portable) with this MFF portable "install" ...
It seems xB modelled its portable install on the portableapps model.
It was very easy to put the xB files/folders in the proper place in my MFF portable install

On the Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition Support website I have read something about installing of plugins. In particular, the use of Adobe Flash Player interests me.

So you know how some sites are getting around popup blockers by just spawning new windows (the ones without menubars ect...). Is there a way to disable ALL new windows from opening. I have NEVER seen a site that opens a legit new window, its always spam/adverts.

I poked around in about:flags but figured id ask here.

Thanks!

*I of course have the block popups setting checked in options, but that doesnt stop these windows (oddly enough, youd think it would).

^that advertisement. I don't like it and want to remove it.

For years, portableapps and firefox has been such an amazing combination, I've been using it for years across linux and windows - working perfectly, and then oneday I had to use windows vista - crash bang!

My portable flash drive works perfectly on XP and linux, but not vista.

Background:
I launch from a batch file with a simple [firefox -P] command and then have a profile in a directory called [NuFox]
Out of habit, I always make my flash drive as [E:] So when I get to a windows machine I do this

E:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\firefox.exe -P

I'm using Portable Firefox (v14.0.1) and cannot load the fetchbox.
I've installed Java on my local machine.
In IE9 and FF14, it succeeds.
I am wondering what I have missed to make it work.
Thank you.

I have installed the flash to portable Firefox and it works great on computers that don't have any flash. But the problem is that the computer I want to use it on has outdated Flash installed and I can't update it because I don't have administrator account. So when I try to open some game sites that need flash 10+, it opens and all seems to work great.. but after I press the Start button so that the game would start the flash freezes.

Any ideas what to do?

can any body tell me how i can create link direct to my blog link to illegal software removed by mod JTH

When I had the non-portable Firefox installed I knew where the profile was but I can't seem to find where the profile is for Firefox portable.

Also, can I install Firefox portable on an internal hard drive?

If so, to save myself re-installing, can I just copy and paste my firefox portable directory off my flash drive anywhere onto my internal hard drive?

I have windows 7 64 bit and just installed Firefox portable 11.0. I cannot save my bookmarks that in a HTML file by Comodo Dragon(chrome like browser). Everytime I restart Firefox Portable I have to import my bookmarks. How do I fix this?

Thanks
