I would like to have the latest Firefox Portable launcher, but don't want to download the full install.

The reason for this is that I'm updating my localizated version for a long time now and don't want to lose all the stuff I've done to it so far.

There is a way to download only the exec file? (FirefoxPortable.exe)

Thanks in advance. Smile

Scrapbook and other extensions + newbie questions

Submitted by dave.busch on March 13, 2008 - 10:24am

I'm a new user to portable apps from a thumb drive. I think its a great idea. I'm still a little shaky on installs - I'm running firefox from my USB drive and I'm trying to install Scrapbook - I'm not allowed - an error keeps popping up - do I need to do something differently to install add-ons using this set up.

USB 1.1 load times

I know this setup is far from ideal, but how long should it take FFP to launch using a USB 1.1 port in Win 98? I double click the FirefoxPortable.exe, the splash screen comes up & disappears, then....nothing. I've tried letting it sit for 10-15 minutes and nothing ever happens. If I CTRL-ALT-DEL, I see both FirefoxPortable and Firefox listed. I have to End Task on both and they come up Not Responding. The device I'm using is a 256MB USB 2.0 drive. Is it really that slow to load using a USB 1.1 port?

Firefox 3 Beta 4 - user logged in?

Hi John,

When you go to the home page, you are taken to the google search page with a user already logged in to it.

You have the option to sign out, but fortunately cannot edit the (gmail) account in question.

Not sure if this is a problem in the source code or a problem on the website(search page) so I'm logging it here and on the FF feedback page.

Regards
Paul

@ John Reg Left with Beta 4

Submitted by Devo on March 11, 2008 - 1:54pm

After running the latest Beta with no additional extensions or add-ons installed, I found that a single registry entry is left after firefox is closed (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla\CurrentVersion). This entry is also left with 2.0.0.12 so I'm thinking it has something to do with my computer. The only way I can get rid if it is to delete the value manually. Again I hope that it is just the computer I am using, is there something I'm not doing? Any help would be appreciated.
