1 Bookmark File for Multiple FF?

Submitted by Strathy on March 19, 2006 - 9:30pm

I run PortableFF as well as Torpark from my USB. I want to use the same bookmark file so that my bookmarks are up to date no matter which program I run. I tried pointing the PFF profile to the Torpark profile using .ini which worked but it also changed my settings to the Torpark proxy settings. I don't want that. Is there a way to point PFF to only the bookmark portion of the profile in Torpark?

Thanks.

Any chance I can make it even smaller?

And yes, I *am* talking about Firefox. Wink

Didn't see this discussed anywhere here, if so, please point me there....

I'm trying to fit Portable Firefox onto a 16MB SD card. Formated this is about 14MB. I've tried formatting it as a compressed NTFS and of course FAT and I can't get it to fit. I think it is close, but this ain't horseshoes.

Question: Is there anything I can take out of the directory structure that will squeek it into 14MB? Of course it is going to grow a little bit with cookies and history and other stuff, but I'm hoping if I can nuke enough extra stuff I can fit the important stuff on here and have it work.

Hello, i've edited PortableFirefox.jpg in the PortableFirefoxCode folder to splashscreen that I like.

But I still see the original splashscreen.

Is there anyone here who knows how to change this?

1.5 needs 2-3 Minutes to start! Help!

I tried 1.5 Portable (and 1.5.0.1) these days, but they start incredibly slow (If i run PFF on my local HDD It comes up within 1-2 seconds).
There is no difference if I try a "clean" version directly from the zip archive or a configured version. Why is that? 1.0.7 Portable and earlier versions need only 5-10 seconds to start! I have a USB 2.0 stick running on a USB 1.1 port.

Firefox window will not open

I have PortableFirefox installed on a network drive at work so that I can access it from any station. I had been using it for a week or so, frustrated with how slow it would open, when suddenly I would not open at all anymore.

When I open PortableFirefox the splash screen comes up and it thinks for a minute and then nothing else happens. If I open the task manager I find firefox.exe running as a process instead of an application.

I did put a link to it in my startup folder, could that be confusing it somehow?

Can anyone help?

I'm looking for a way to install mathfonts for portable MathML support in Firefox. Is this possible?

having trouble installing portable firefox

I've tried to install portable firefox on both a 32MB thumb drive and a 128MB thumb drive without success. After I download the zip file to a folder on my desktop, I unzip it and move the files to the root directory of the thumb drive. Next step says to double click on PortableFirefox.exe. When I do this I get this message "firefox.exe was not found. Please check your configuration". The install instuctions seem simple enough. What am I doing wrong. Thanks.
