Firefox Portable

Slow Start-UP, slow tab switching. HELP!

Submitted by nova_seph on April 16, 2006 - 1:38pm

**First of all, i am aware that this topic has been posted before, i just want to know if anyone can give me a personalized solution....please..

Hello! I am truly impressed of your webpage. It actually made me buy a USB pendrive! I'm currently using a lot of portable apps like:

* megairc
* eMule
* Portable Wackget
* Portable Gaim
* Portble Firefox
* HFS
* ...and 18 other apps+Damn Small Linux

Of these apps, my firefox launches the slowest (about 3 minutes). I think it may be because of my extensions which are:

* SearchPlugins Hack
* TabMix Plus

Unable to Connect

I installed 1.5.0.2 to my jumpdrive. I now can't connect to the internet. I can using IE but not PFF. I disabled all my extension and still was not able to connect to the internet. I have Yahoo IM running OK and ICQ so I know its not and ISP issue. I'm using cable and my connection settings are set at "Direct connection to the internet". What else could there be to keep the connection closed. I turned off the firewall to and still was unable to connet.

Not finding Extensions

Help!!

I installed the updates to firefox 1.5.0.1 when I received and upgrade notice. Now I don't have accessed to my extensions or themes. I can see them when I click on Tools->Extensions/Themes but they are ghosted out with a message that says I need to restart firefox. I've restarted FF several time but I still can't get the extensions or themes to become active.

What is the trick to fix this???

Thanks

Disable Flash Screen

Im not sure if their is something I'm missing but I cannot seem to disable the splash screen for the Portable Apps. I have a series of applications of my Portable Drive but not of of them are from PortableApps and as such I would like to have consitency in not having splash screens. This is a copy of my config. I have DisableSplashScreen set to true but it seems to have no effect.

New Window

In my main FF window I have turned off the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If I go to a link and open it in a New Window the Bookmarks Toolbar is always there (taking up space).
How can I turn it off for all windows?
