Submitted by imdb on June 7, 2012 - 5:38pm

howdya fellas!
what is the recommended or best cache size limit for firefox portable 13 whose folder is located not on a flashdisk but on hdd?
is it best to leave it as is which is automatic cache management?
or is it better to limit the cache size to something like 50 MB, 100 MB, 250 MB, etc?
got big enough hdd and free space & broadband connection.
please don't bother to say "what suits your needs is the best!" or something like that.
thanks.

[Closed] - firefox portable 13 - no content in new tab view

Submitted by dunedin-hughie on June 5, 2012 - 7:55pm

I was using the Firefox beta 13 for a while so I thought that maybe the function was not working as like being still tested.

New tab is now supposed to show you 'thumbnails' of web pages like Opera.

Updated portable Firefox 12 to 13 today and that feature still shows blank thumbnails.

I have installed normal (not portable) copy of Firefox 13 also updated from normal Firefox 12 and the new tab feature shows the thumbnails.

Any other user of Firefox portable 13 seeing this (or not seeing - ha ha)?

Happy days,

Hugh

Lets say I have Thunderbird Portable and Firefox Portable. Both works fine. At least when both apps are running. When I click links (www.justexample.com) in Thunderbird it calls another FFoxPortable window. Great. When I click a file test.html on my desktop - it works the same way.

Now, I shut down FireFoxPortable. Click again test.html on my desktop or www.justexample.com in external application. Firefox opens, but bypassing "portable" loader and I got wrong profile.

portable takes over plugins

Submitted by ottosykora on May 20, 2012 - 6:31am

To day I noticed, that when I open portable firefox 12, the plugins are used by this, hat is OK.

However, when I close the portable firefox properly, the plugins should be given back to the local installed one.
But this does not happen and all remains disabled in the local firefox until I reboot.
(w7 x64)

I do not remamber to have had this problem earlier.

flash freezes firefox after a couple seconds

Submitted by spanktastic2120 on May 18, 2012 - 5:55pm

any flash content will run for a couple seconds and then firefox freezes, if the content has audio the audio will continue to play for quite a while after. terminating plugin-container.exe makes firefox responsive again and produces the standard crashed plugin message.

if i restart in safe mode all flash content works fine, but if i just disable every addon myself it does the same freezing thing. i cant figure this out, any help?

im using the latest firefox and flash.
