Firefox Portable

Does portable firefox write anything to local disk/network?

Submitted by irv on March 30, 2006 - 5:08pm

I have asked my tech support if i could use portable firefox from a thumb drive, as i dont like IE. i got the following reply:


All the software on the University desktop has been installed, tested, and licensed to run on the University network. The browsers that are installed on the desktop have been configured and regularly updated for security issues. The security implications of portable Firefox have not been investigated by our development team at University i.e. is it the latest secure version?, does it affect the University desktop?, does it write to the hard disk/network?, does the software have malware? We generally do not like software that is not part of the University desktop PC’s to be run on University lab machines because of these unanswered questions and the possible problems they may cause to users and the network.

Hey

What would you guys think of the possibility to change the splashscreen?
So you can't only change the theme or the language of your favorite browser,
but also the splashscreen. And maybe there could come a section with the best
splashscreens, maybe a competition.

sorry for my bad English.

Why do I get solid black when I print my SVG graphic from my browser?

Submitted by phillyboy on March 20, 2006 - 2:22pm

Hi All;

I have developed an application using PortableFirefox browser. This application contains several HTML files and a few SVG graphic files, displayed via HTML. The SVG graphic displays correctly, but prints solid black from my PortableFirefox browser. However, it prints very well from IE browser. In fact, even the HTML that embeds my SVG graphic displayed and printed correctly from IE.

Question 1: Does anyone know why my SVG graphics display correctly in my PortableFirefox application, but when printed, it just prints as a solid black area?

Question 2: WHY would the HTML file that embeds the SVG graphics NOT display at all on Firefox browser? Yes I am running the latest SVG viewer 6.0 version. Although I did not see its presence in "About:Config"

I’ve read through the licenses associated with Mozilla, Firefox, Portable Firefox etc. but I’m still not sure if I can do what I want to do without acting against license. So here’s what I want:
I wrote an (pretty nice, I think Wink ) CMS system and I want to sell it. However I thought tha I can add an Portable Firefox if a customer wants it (free of charge of course) with preconfigured tabs etc. to make CMS usage easier . What is important is that:

1 Bookmark File for Multiple FF?

Submitted by Strathy on March 19, 2006 - 9:30pm

I run PortableFF as well as Torpark from my USB. I want to use the same bookmark file so that my bookmarks are up to date no matter which program I run. I tried pointing the PFF profile to the Torpark profile using .ini which worked but it also changed my settings to the Torpark proxy settings. I don't want that. Is there a way to point PFF to only the bookmark portion of the profile in Torpark?

Thanks.
