new U3 Version of Firefox?

Submitted by mb2 on October 23, 2006 - 9:37am

Hello,

will there ever be a new U3 Version of Firefox or Thunderbird?

I looked in the forum, but found no hint on the last pages...

Please don't tell me to use the portable version instead, as i have a U3 Stick and i want the software to be shown in the U3 Launchpad.

If it is possible to decompress the portable version and put it in the exec directory on the u3 stick and that works "as an update" - that would be fine.

As the 1.5.0.7 might be the last 1.5 version John could think of a new release of that version.

Why can I not access https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions.php?app=firefox

I get the loving message of,

The connection has timed out

The server at addons.mozilla.org is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Yet the same applies to hotmail, nothing else seem to bother it.

Not Autodetecting Proxy Settings

Submitted by Doomhammer on October 21, 2006 - 6:49pm

I've got Portable Firefox (2.0 rc3, to be exact) running on my USB thumb drive. It works fine at my house, but at school, it can't connect to the internet.

My school sysadmin has a proxy server of some sort setup (I'm not sure of the exact details - after all, as a student, I don't have access to the server). While Firefox is set to "Direct Connection to the Internet" in the network settings, I'm not able to access the internet with it (obviously, because of the proxy server).

"Auto-Detect Proxy Settings for this Network" doesn't seem to work either, for some reason. It's rather hard to troubleshoot, seeing as (as a student), I have very limited access to system settings. Without having access to the IE connection settings dialog, and no access to the system registry either, any way I can get Firefox to connect to the internet correctly?

Portable Firefox crashes!

Submitted by LSainsbury on October 19, 2006 - 6:33am

Hi,

If I "install" PF to a folder on my local hard disk, PF works, but if I move that installation to a folder on my external USB hard disk, it crashes out with an illegal operation error and then prompts to send the crash log to Microsoft - you know the dialog! Anyway of fixing this? I'd like to make it truly portable and have just one installation for PF!

Cheers
