Firefox Portable

This post is not about FFP as a 'false positive' by A/V software due to the launcher's behaviour, rather about "firefox.exe" being included in a company's A/V blacklist.

Until recently I happily used FFP on my work computer. Recently my employer has included Firefox in a blacklist of its A/V SW. When trying to run FFP now, a Virus-Warning mesage will appear, then the A/W SW will delete firefox.exe from my removable drive.

\App\DefaultData\plugins
\App\firefox\plugins
\Data\plugins

There are 3 folders where plugins are located. John, could you decrease this amount? It`s imho a bit confusing.

I like to watch programs from the following Website:

http://www.cbs.com/innertube/

I use Portable Firefox. the website requires real Player plugin. It works on my home computer which has real player installed but I can't get it to work when using it on a computer without realplayer installed and I don't have admin priviledges to install on the work computer. I have tried copying everything I can find into the Port FF Plugins folder but to no availe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Here is a slightly improved version of the search plugin Ryan posted here: https://portableapps.com/node/3578

All I did was shorten up the descriptions so that it now stays within the search box column when you hit change arrow.

It works with FF 2.0.

EDIT: How to install.
1. "Save link as"
2. Place the file in your PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\searchplugins directory.
3. Restart Firefox.

UPDATED:
Now available on mycroft.

As I understand the FP Live copies all the necessary files to the hard disk. On computers with a slow CD-ROM drive this takes some time. The launcher does this every time the Firefox Portable is started even if I don't delete the files on the HDD. I wonder if there is a chance to let the launcher only copy the files from CD to HDD which are different or are missing on HDD. I looked around in the nsi file and started to read the documentation of NSIS but found nothing. Has anyone of you an idea how to make this?

I'm creating a redistributable version of Firefox Portable and according to Mozilla's trademark policies, if alterations are made to their program, then the Firefox logo and all instances of it needs to be removed. Any idea how to switch out the Firefox icon with one of my own?

Hi All,

just joint this forum.
We've using the portables for serveral months.
N now we need to make the firefox portable automatically open in fullscreen
mode when we open it(without have to touch F11 button). It is possible? If yes, can someone tell us how to do it?
I've search for few days and can't found it.
Thanks before.

Hi,

I wonder if there is an easy way to keep the splash screen longer visible. On my slow laptop, there are about 30 seconds time between the disappearance of the splash screen and the start of FireFox. So when I don't look on the HDD led I don't know if there is still action going on. The perfect solution for me would be, if the splash screen disappears just when FireFox starts independent of the speed of the computer.
Another solution could be, that after the splash screen disappears, something else is shown on the screen.
