John, would you please release an updated launcher with support for the ini inside the \PortableApps\ folder? I keep the ini in \PortableApps\FirefoxPortable. I tried to modify it myself, but I don't know much about NSIS, and it's not as simple as changing line 91:
IfFileExists "$EXEDIR\${NAME}.ini" "" NoINI
to
IfFileExists "$EXEDIR\PortableApps\${NAME}\${NAME}.ini" "" NoINI

MD5

I get a different MD5 sum from the one given. For the .exe I get: C9D3636C89F38A7A14F27422D256AF07

Also, I cannot find a way to just search the forums. Is there?

idea: portable firefox stealth edition

Submitted by easterlingman on September 27, 2006 - 11:07am

This would basically be portable Firefox built for express use in a work environment that actively prohibits the use of Firefox (or any "unauthorized" software). it would come pre-installed with the user agent switcher extension (which would default to internet explorer's UA string), the internet explorer skin and icons (details on how to make firefox look like internet explorer here). being portable, firefox would already be undetectable for snoopy IT admins browsing your profile.

what else would it need to be com

After update to 1.5.0.7 splash screen can't be deactivated

Submitted by R. on September 27, 2006 - 8:25am

After the update to FFP 1.5.0.7 (copied over the previous version) the "DisableSplashScreen=true" no more seems to work. The FFP.ini is in the proper location, in the root directory, next to FFP.exe.

(Apart from that: just noticed, while checking the forum's "preview" pane, that this post here was submitted by me "on December 31, 1969".)

1.5.0.7 - FirefoxPortable.ini ignored?

Submitted by sydhart on September 27, 2006 - 12:32am

Running PFF from CD, with directory structure:

AUTORUN.INF (custom, runs FirefoxPortable.exe)
FirefoxPortable.ini
FirefoxPortable.exe
FirefoxPortable
  index.htm (custom start page)
  help.html
  App
  Other
  Data

PFF seems to ignore FirefoxPortable.ini (when running from either a local folder or CD).

I've read the readme. What might be wrong here?

Integrating With Gigaget

Submitted by ChrisInThailand on September 26, 2006 - 10:35pm

Does anyone have an idea about how to get portable Firefox to integrate with the GigaGet downloader? When trying to make it the default downloader for Firefox, Gigaget only searches for the firefox.exe file and wont recognise portableFirefox.exe??

I downloaded Java form http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
chose manual install and change it to L:\Program Files\FirefoxPortable\Apps\firefox\plugins It installed and runs fine on my home comp but as soon as i try it in College it says that the plugin is not installed.
In College the Drive letter is E:\ not L:\ could that have any effect on java?
is so any suggestions? also i cant install Java from College couse i dont have Admin privleges.
