Firefox Portable

Hmmm - Can´t find the files for "dictionaries" ...

Submitted by Helveg on June 11, 2008 - 2:46pm

Good evening
Hmmmmm, I can´t find those files to replace the "en-us.alf" & "en-us.dic" file
- who I found easy on the portable edition.

Like written:
****

1. Install Firefox Portable to your portable device as outlined on the support page
2. Delete all the files within the FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\ directory
3. Copy your local Firefox files to that same directory (you can usually find them in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ ).
4. Use Firefox Portable as normal

Portable Firefox 3 RC2 Performance Issues

Submitted by mbe on June 11, 2008 - 11:43am

To echo other commenters, I find FF3 RC2 much slower than FF2. I have a pretty fast USB flash drive, based on what I've read. It's the Patriot Xporter XT. FF2 (2.0.0.14) runs lickety-split. FF3 RC2 runs like a dog through molasses. Disk caching is turned off. Pipelining turned on. No saving of passwords. Fewer add-ons than I have on FF2.

I have not turned off remembering history and form fields. How much resources and disk accesses do those consume?

? Is it possible to get "old" versions of Firefox Portable 3 ?

Well - The latest 3 work fine !

"only" a few of my favorite add-ons do not.

One goes to 3.0b1 and one to 3.0b5 (stop with the new version)

Is it possible to get earlier models of 3?

Right: It is a small "problem".
But I like to test if they work, like it is written.

Otherwise I just will live without them ...

Can Firefox Portable "speak" Swedish ?

Submitted by Rudolph on June 10, 2008 - 11:41am

Hej - Can Firefox Portable "speak" Swedish?
(Or Polish or whatever ...)
As far as I can see there is 4 official languages, but it seams that you can install some from the language pack:

I tried to download Swedish, but could not get to work.

Maybe I placed it in a wrong folder?

So can it be doned?

Or is it impossible???

Firefox 3 virus scanning ability

Submitted by USBman on June 9, 2008 - 5:39pm

I have an idea that I've been throwing around since learning that Firefox 3 scans downloaded files ( http://www.ghacks.net/2008/06/04/disable-automatic-virus-scanning-in-fir... ), using locally installed virus scanning software... that is, is there a way to change that setting in order to stipulate that Firefox Portable use ClamWin Portable instead? This way, Firefox Portable 3 would still be entirely portable, instead of relying on software (virus scanner) installed on the local machine.
