Firefox Portable

Hey there,

why there is still no Portable Firefox 1.5.0.4 version available?!

Your update and release of Portable Firefox version 1.5.0.3 was so fast and now?

And no, I don't want to download 1.5.0.3 and then update to 1.5.0.4..

You could say the same procedure to Portable Firefox 1.5.0.2 and then autoupdate to 1.5.0.3..!

Please release it soon, I can hardly wait for this.

thx in advance!

best regards,

I've done the reading but I guess I just don't get it. I want to find a way to sync
FF portable Haller version bookmarks with my FF local copy. Foxmarks addon is new
and most other info does not pertain to flash drives. Where else can I find help?

This is new on the addons site for FF. Not much help given but does anyone know if it will sync between local copy and flash drive?

Question: Is there a way to have html files on a flash drive open with Portable Firefox stored on the same flash drive, even if the drive letter of the device is unknown?

Task specifics: I want to give a person a flash drive which will contain confidential files (written in HTML) to view. Each file contains links to the others and there is a main index page.

I want the person to use Portable Firefox to view these files and to be able to navigate through the file group, but the computers used to plug in the drive will all have IE specified as the default browser and this setting will not be able to be changed.

FF on PNY Attache 1Gb is fast enough, but operations on the Bookmarks file are SL-O-O-O-W. E.g. while saving a bookmark to a new folder, 30-45 sec for each of "New Folder", naming it, and finally saving.

Comment?

I am running portable ff off a thumbdrive at work. Whenever I try to login to certain sites (yahoo for email, msn for hotmail, espn insider) it times out. This happens with both stored passwords and newly typed. I have already cleared the saved passwords, the cache and the cookies. I have limited user rights on the machine, but ff works fine otherwise, and connects everywhere else. We are behind a firewall, but I can login to all the sites on IE. Any ideas why this is happening? Any fixes out there?

thanks
Vic

Hi,

Does Portable Firefox save cookies and "remember this password" information on the thumbdrive, or on the host computer? Is there a way to make it always save this information on the thumbdrive?

Also, what about saved passwords that are saved by the website, not firefox (i.e. where there's a checkbox that says "remember me on this computer.") Can I make this information save on the thumbdrive instead of on the host computer?

Thanks,
chris.

Google has just released a Firefox extension that "continuously synchronizes your browser settings". Basically it will store the settings you choose in your Google account — which are then loaded each time the browser is launched. I just installed it on my laptop and in PortableFirefox. It does require that you have a GoogleMail (G-mail) account but gives you the option to set one up. The settings are stored in your Gmail account. It works better than any other synching options I have seen.

Get it at http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/

"Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers.

I have the proxy settings correct (borrowed from internet explorer installed on the PC) and pages 'load'. However, I need to login using a username and password for each file that loads, whereas with IE and Mozilla (which are installed on the PCs) I only need to login once per browser instance.
Is there any way I can fix this problem?

Hai,

Can anybody tell me how to configure Flashgot to work with portable Flashget?

Thanks
