Firefox Portable

Vista Specific Problems

Submitted by Lutherian on August 21, 2012 - 2:13pm

For years, portableapps and firefox has been such an amazing combination, I've been using it for years across linux and windows - working perfectly, and then oneday I had to use windows vista - crash bang!

My portable flash drive works perfectly on XP and linux, but not vista.

Background:
I launch from a batch file with a simple [firefox -P] command and then have a profile in a directory called [NuFox]
Out of habit, I always make my flash drive as [E:] So when I get to a windows machine I do this

E:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\firefox.exe -P

Portable Firefox, Flash problem

Submitted by Plaah007 on August 20, 2012 - 5:07am

I have installed the flash to portable Firefox and it works great on computers that don't have any flash. But the problem is that the computer I want to use it on has outdated Flash installed and I can't update it because I don't have administrator account. So when I try to open some game sites that need flash 10+, it opens and all seems to work great.. but after I press the Start button so that the game would start the flash freezes.

Any ideas what to do?

Profile Location? And can I install Firefox on Internal Hard drive?

When I had the non-portable Firefox installed I knew where the profile was but I can't seem to find where the profile is for Firefox portable.

Also, can I install Firefox portable on an internal hard drive?

If so, to save myself re-installing, can I just copy and paste my firefox portable directory off my flash drive anywhere onto my internal hard drive?

Tabs on bottom

Submitted by billmcct on July 24, 2012 - 10:49pm

Downloaded the FireFox beta 15.1 today. I can't seem to find a way to put the tabs on the bottom as I could in earlier versions. Is it no longer possible to do this? I'm just too used to using the Palemoon 12.? port of Mozilla that I haven't really been using FF much. With only 512 MB memory FF freezes my system. PM uses much less memory. Anyway I would like to get the old style interface back if someone could tell me how. Thanks,
