[Question] About the trademark policy of portable firefox

Submitted by hobbyscripter on May 11, 2006 - 5:37am

Hi,
i'd like to ask what splash i'm allowed to use if i'd like to

publish a community edition?

1. A splash without "portableapps.com" in order not to let the user think the community edition as a official version which is published by portableapps.com ex. http://flickr.com/photos/hobbyscripter/141916112/

2. Or A splash within "portableapps.com" ex. http://flickr.com/photos/hobbyscripter/141916110/

Thanks.

Two plugin directories?

Submitted by KevinTMC on May 9, 2006 - 11:20am

I've noticed that there are two different plugin directories in my PFF 1.5.0.3.

All the plugins I had installed in previous versions are found here:

G:\PortableFirefox\Data\plugins

Whereas when I installed Flash using the extension posted on the PFF page, the files went here:

G:\PortableFirefox\App\firefox\plugins

Is this okay? Do I need to harmonize these directories, move anything around...or just relax and enjoy?

P.S. I've got two searchplugins directories too, at G:\PortableFirefox\App\firefox\searchplugins and G:\PortableFirefox\Data\profile\searchplugins. Same answer th

lost my bookmarks?

on my home computer i was able to get the wanted harddrive bookmarks imported into the portable app on my usb drive. when i plugged the usb drive into the office computer i used pass2go to access PFF and the splash screen did not appear but FF did. pass2go wasnt working properly so i decided to open FF directly from the usb drive. got the splash screen and pass2go was then working properly, but my usb bookmarks are gone. did the harddrive access on the office computer overwrite my bookmarks?

thanks,

No gif Pictures in Amazon HomePage in Europe

Submitted by PMHoyland on May 8, 2006 - 8:01am

When accessing the German Amazon Home Page (www.amazon.de) with PortableFirefox 1.5.03 none of the gif Pictures contained in the Page are shown,with the result that it is virtually unuseable. This also applies for the british Amazon WWW.Amazon.co.uk.

When calling the US Amazon (www.amazon.com) then the home page is displayed correctly with all included gifs.

Switching AdBlock on and off has no effect on the above described behaviour. The normal FireFox (non Portable) does not display the above effects it displays the German and UK Amazon correctly. The 2 FireFox versions are identical and have identical extension installed. Operating System is Windows XP German.

Curious FF 1.5.0.3 behaviour regarding passwords

Submitted by abochert on May 8, 2006 - 2:05am

Hi all,

I've upgrated my portable Firefox to 1.5.0.3.
I've copied then my orig profile from the old version
into the new version within PortableFirefox\Data\profile.
Everything works fine (bookmarks, extensions...) except
my passwords - Firefox doesn't recognize my old passwords
anymore (I've copied the whole profile including signons.txt
and key3.db).
In case to post here this topic I had to register to this forum
and Firefox saved (after asking for it) my portableapps.com-forum
password without any problem - now I can see it under
'Options->Passwords->View Saved Passwords' as the only saved password.
