Firefox Portable

Addons/Extensions disable on CD/ISO

Submitted by Tehrasha on October 11, 2011 - 6:46pm

I have created a 'master' install of FirefoxPortable with all of my favorite extensions which I use on several machines via thumbdrive. All of its extensions are up to date, and work flawlessly on the thumb.

However, when running an CD/ISO of my thumbdrive in local mode {FirefoxPortable.ini RunLocally=true} some, but not all, extensions report as 'Incompatible with Firefox $version "Disabled"'. Currently $version is 7.0.1 but this problem goes back to at least 4.x

Older Versions?

RoboForm2GO is not attaching to Firefox 7 (at least on my W7 system). Wanted to try to install Firefox 6 again to see if RoboForm2GO would attach to that. Anyone know where the older versions of Firefox portable can be accessed, either in general or specifically Firefox 6.x.x? Thanks!

Why does FF pop to front window?

FF keeps popping to front window, why? It's soo annoying!

For example, if I am reading an article through Chrome, or Openoffice or doing something else on the Laptop, all of a sudden FF pops to the front and appears, taking me away from whatever I am doing on another page.

What causes FF to do this and why does it do it all the time and how can I stop it from happening?

Cheers.

Silverlight update problems (w/o administrator permissions)

Submitted by timst4 on October 4, 2011 - 1:22pm

A few months ago, I previously extracted the silverlight DLLs, dumped them into my firefox plugins folder on my thumb drive, and everything worked fine. Starting a few weeks ago, when I try to open Netflix on Firefox Portable, I get a blue page asking me to update silverlight.

Ok. simple right. I download the most recent SDK, unpack the .cab, and install the DLLS to the plugins folder on my thumbdrive.

The problem is, I can't get a program to unarchive the silverlight_SDK.cab. 7-zip says that the archive can't be extracted. Anyone else have this problem?

Firefox v7.0.1 Portable - Availability ?

Submitted by Samantha-Jane on October 1, 2011 - 9:18am

Since Firefox v7.0.1 was made available soon after the release of v7.0, I'm wondering when a standalone download updated version of Firefox v7.0.1 Portable will be made available ?

NB: I don't want to pull the v7.0.1 update from the Firefox client - I want a standalone download updated version of Firefox v7.0.1 Portable.

Thanks for portableapps.com. Smile
