Firefox Portable

Add-on manager not working on FF 6

Submitted by ashberry777 on August 17, 2011 - 3:24am

Hi there,

Thanks very much for the fast work on making the new Firefox version available in Portable format, so soon after the main release !

At the moment I can find only one issue, but I'm not sure this is an issue for the portable version, or also for the main version.

When I open up the Add-on manager, it will permanently say "Loading", but it never finishes and doesn't show my installed add-ons. My add-ons are working fine, it is just the manager that seems not to.

I use it with the all-in-one sidebar extension.

Major problems with FF6

I got an automatic update from v5.01 to v6.0 today.
FF6 never started again and I don't no what the problem is.
Can I please have a clue how to solve this.
I have the same problem on all my machines, XP, Vista Win7...
This is all I get when starting:

I've really done it now. My Firefox restore session hasn't been working, and since no-one replied to my earlier post, I thought I'd just reinstall it.

But... now I seem to have lost all my settings, addons, extensive bookmarks, but most importantly, my Scrapbook pages which included lots of business sales receipts for online orders which I was getting ready to print for my tax records.

Is there anyway to recover this? I know the obvious answer is to go to my backup, but I foolishly don't have a recent backup. Would Firefox have moved the old files somewhere else?

Please help me...

[Glitch] Dual title bars in Windows XP Pro SP3, Firefox Portable 5.01

Image pretty much speaks for itself. Both sets of window buttons (e.g. minimize, close) work. Only the top one can be double-clicked on for maximize/restore, though.

Right-clicking and adding, then removing the menu bar removed one, but the tabs are now below the address bar, not up on the title bar, and I have a second taskbar entry for "Mozilla Firefox" (where the first one is the title of the page).

Restore Session Not Working

Submitted by KiwiKay on August 9, 2011 - 5:03pm

Ever since my last few Firefox updates (now using 5.0.1 on a Windows 7 machine), the Restore Session feature hasn't been working. The tab titled "Restore Session" comes up, but there are no previous sessions listed in the box to restore, so of course, nothing gets restored. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix for it?

Thanks

Firefox 5 Portable, Sandboxie and urlclassifier3.sqlite

Submitted by dallas7 on August 7, 2011 - 3:26am

I've been using the Mozilla browser since it was called Phoenix. Version 5 is my first foray into its portable iteration. I use FF heavily for commerce and banking and verified all was A-OK especially with my security layering. I began to run it in Sandboxie and again all was A-OK *except* for urlclassifier3.sqlite. It does not update at all. I do notice urlclassifierkey3.txt occasionally getting written meaning that the operation is functional but the sqlite file isn't appended. I wasn't able to gain a solution at the Sandboxie forum. Any ideas? Thanks!
