SPLASH!

Submitted by berdar on January 4, 2007 - 1:34pm

Like many people here, I've disabled the default splash screen of Firefox Portable. I am using the Add On SPLASH! to make a photo of my Gran daughter my splash screen.

Over the course of my work day, I may use 4-5 PCs. Is there any way to make the path of the .jpg that SPLASH! uses relative? That would allow her photo to always be my splash screen instead of getting a blank box when the drive shows up as anything other than E://

I've search the forums and haven't found anything about this.

Thanks in advance,

Berdar

Hiccups with A-Data usb drive.

Submitted by iceberg on January 4, 2007 - 12:56pm

I am trying to make sure this issue is not something I can fix with a setting before contacting the manufacture of the drive. What happens is that during scrolling or new page loads Firefox will stall during access to the drive. There are no crashes or anything it's just a slight annoyance. It may just be the way the drive works too but I wanted to be sure before I complain to A-Data.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I had a typo up there "Firefix" I just thought it was funny and wanted to share.

FF creates file in c/...

Submitted by Teuchtlurm on January 4, 2007 - 11:12am

Hello,

I use FF 2 portable, it runs on direction d/portableapps/.... The programm creates a pluginreg.dat in c/documents/user/...*/mozilla/firefox. It creates a folder "profile" too, but there's no file in it. If I delete the folders, firefox will create the pluginreg.dat again with next start.

I don't think that's correct. Does somebody have this problem, too?

Regards,
Teuchtlurm

*anwendungsdaten, don't know the englisch name for this folder.

Firefox Portable and Google Toolbar beta

Submitted by tkcom on January 3, 2007 - 10:46pm

Google Toolbar beta
http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/FT3/intl/en/

I just found out that when I add new buttons to the toolbar [http://toolbar.google.com/buttons/], they won't install on the flash drive but the local hard drive instead. After I added buttons, closed the app and logged out (local settings purged), I logged back in and found out those buttons were gone.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Dual OS Portable possible?

Submitted by iceberg on December 30, 2006 - 10:59am

I was wondering if it would be possible to build a Linux static portable version that can run from the same directory as the windows version. I use both OSes and it would be nice to be able to just run it from the usb drive in bot instead of copying profiles back and forth. This would be nice for portable gaim and Thunderbird too but figured Id ask about Firefox first.
