Firefox Portable

Firefox Portable v17.0 ran just fine. But after I upgraded to Firefox Portable v18.0 I get a runtime error which says "Firefox couldn't load XPCOM". Am I missing some 3rd party components like xulrunner to make it work?

I have the regular Firefox installed on my laptop and Firefox Portable on my USB key. I'm more often using the laptop one and I was wondering if there was a way I could transfer or sync all my bookmarks, addons, settings and passwords between the laptop and usb drive? Is this what Firefox sync? I had a quick look at it but it I'm not sure if it sync addons though. Thanks for any help and this project has really improved and grown since the days of just Portable Firefox!

Apparently it's a little cloudy how to get the latest plugins for portable firefox, where to find the dll's after updating flash.

1. Close your portable firefox.
2. Open firefox on the local PC.
3. In URL write: about:config
4. In search: plugin.expose_full_path
(source: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:plugins)
5. Set it: true
6. In URL write: about:plugins

And on this page it will now show the directory locations on local PC for every addon installed, so you can copy it to your portable plugin directory

When it loads pages like youtube or imdb.com it just freeze for about a minute, then you get 1 click before it freeze for another. First write "youtube.com" and then write something in search, when it list something, click one, and then after about 1 minute it says "A script is taking too long to finish...", but clicking stop doesn't solve it...

There hasn't been any problems before and no new installs. It's got Flash video downloader and simple adblock 1.08 extentions and adobe acrobat and shockwave flash add-ons.

I loved FF portable so much, I installed it on my desktop, thinking to use it as an alternative to IE for certain sites while having less "saved" data than a regular desktop installation of FF would. It works like a charm, started from a shortcut that leads to C:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe instead of the Firefox.exe file. I was curious what would happen if I set FF to be my default browser, but when I do that from within FF portable, it sets the Firefox.exe file to be called---and that doesn't have any of my personalizations, bookmarks, etc.

Is there a way to copy all my add-ons to SeaMonkey Portable???

Hi,

I may have experienced a regression after the v18 upgrade : i'm actually behind an enterprise Internet proxy. v17 and previous versions managed to connect properly using default system Internet proxy settings but apparently, v18 can't do the same.

Since setting manually proxy settings don't solve the problem (this proxy is pretty weird and do block a lot of stuff), I had to downgrade to v17. And it actually works.

Since I can't install anything on the laptop, I can't tell you if the bug is in Firefox v18 or in the portable edition of FFv18.

I have a 64-bit computer and use Waterfox, the "unofficial" 64-bit version of Firefox (Mozilla has not yet released a stable 64-bit build). There is also Pale Moon, which is built on a lot of the same code and comes in both 32- and 64-bit versions. I'm just wondering if there are any plans to PortableApp-ize other Firefox variants such as these.

So I am running Firefox 17.0.1 Portable on a usb drive. I am trying to add in the plugins for several different extensions. I have managed to add Java (jPorable), Shockwave, Flashplayer, Sliverlight, and Adobe Reader all by copying the correct .dll's over to the plugins folder designated for the corresponding applications. So now I want to add the supporting .dll's to the plugins folder for Windows Media files and Quicktime files. I looked everywhere about how to install the correct .dll's for Windows Media files and had no luck.

I have to use IE7 at work and I always have problems with memory leaks, HTML5 sites, and just all around crapiness from IE7. I would like to install Firefox on a flash drive and use it at work. Is this something the network guys will be able to detect and trace back to me? Also, I was warned about redundancy but it was not explained, any ideas?

Thanks
