Splash Extention Difficulties

Submitted by campsoup1988 on October 30, 2006 - 11:57am

Im trying to use FireFox's Splash Extention, https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2995/ to create my own Splash page, but because it is on my portable drive, my drive letter sometimes changes, either from E:\ G:\ or K:\ depending on which computer I use, but the Splash Extention talkes the full file name directory ( E:\... image.jpg) instead of just (\image.jpg)

Thanks for your help,

difficulty closing

Submitted by Miles on October 30, 2006 - 12:41am

Using thumb drive SunDisk U3 2gb with FFP & TBP installed, not U3 apps.

Attempt to close the drive by first closing U3 icon. But when click on Safely Remove Hardware icon, it complains "the device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try later." Programs on the thumb have been closed.

How to install Flashplayer & Shockwave in FF

Submitted by Miles on October 29, 2006 - 11:51pm

Evidently FFP does not include these two. I have been told that they are avaible as extensions for the portable as opposed to plugins. Regardless, can't find any info on Adobe's site so downloaded and attempted to install and receive window "Could not execute." And "windows can't find I:\(the thumb drive)\system\app\3c9f7b~1/exec\ FF\FF.exe.)

Also tried moving it to the thumb drive and installing from there, with same result. Files are shockwave_installer_slim.exe and install_flash_player.exe

Run along with regular FireFox

Submitted by RAitch on October 29, 2006 - 10:19pm

Is there any way to be able to run portable firefox along side regular firefox? I have a USB drive that I run FF from... but also connect it at home. My wife also uses this computer and often leaves several windows open. This prevents me from running the portable version because firefox.exe is already loaded.

Is there any way to be able to run both at the same time?

Can I use Citrix ICA client with Portable Firefox?

Submitted by jacobthooft on October 29, 2006 - 3:41pm

I have trouble getting acces to my compnay Intranet using Firefox Portable via the Citric application. I can't install the neccesary ICA client.
My company laptop has been 'closed' by the ICT department so I can't install software on it.

I am a fan of the Portable Apps Tunderbird and Firefox.
They allow me to send e-mail and surf the web from my company laptop when connected to other than the company intranet.

Jumping Cursor When Typing

Submitted by kaitak98 on October 29, 2006 - 2:22pm

I am having a problem with FF Portable on my work machine. While typing in a web page, if another open tab updates the cursor will jump in front of the last letter typed. I am then typing and pushing that letter along with the cursor if that makes sense. In my work environment I have several tabs open that update at least once a minute. I'm sure you can see what a problem this could be. There is an hour glass symbol next to the mouse cursor when this happens.

I'm not sure if this is an FF problem or something going on with the machine itself.

Any ideas?
