Firefox Portable

Hey i just love the portable stuff very, how you say, cool.

But why is firefox 1.5 not compressed?

Cheers

In an effort to further integrate Portable Firefox with my OS theme, I made my own splashscreen by modifying the original located here:

/portablefirefoxcode/PortableFirefox.jpg.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. The new one is the same dimension, color depth, format, etc. as the original; but everytime I launch I see the original splashscreen.

I searched through all the directories and I couldn't find where in the heck it was still getting the original splashscreen from (It was deleted after I backed it up on the local HD).

Weird.

Anyone?

Is there anyway I can run (concurrently) a copy of Portable Firefox (any version) and also run Mozilla* Firefox (any version) together in the same session?

For instance, right now I have Portable Firefox v1.07 loaded. I want to load up Mozilla Firefox v1.5. When I click on the icon for Mozilla Firefox v1.5, it just loads up another window of Portable Firefox v1.07 instead.

1) What gives?

2) Does this have to do with having the same window title (name)? If so, back then sometime long ago, I ran across some sort of extension which generated a random window title upon startup, but I can not seem to find it. Anyone know what I am talking about?

hi everybody,

when i like to start a portable firefox while a 'normal' instance is still runnung, firefox starts, but again with the locale one, and not my potable.. is there any possibility to ensure that he will start the portable one?

thanks

I always get "Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Portable Firefox.". Title of the error is "Portable Firefox - your browser ...". I think it's about the launcher.

Hi,

I'd like to give quite a big number of USB keys to peoples, and i'd like to put in these keys a portable firefox with a password registered for a web-site.

Like this, no need for the people to remember teir password, or to register it themself, it's already done. They just have to use the key and enjoy.

My problème is : I can't register all the passwords manualy.There's a lot of keys to create, and it will be done automaticly. So i'd like to find a way to register the password with a small script.

If you like me you and you have a ton of extensions installed starting up FF for the first time is a pain in the but. I'm currently running 40 extensions on my local and portable copies. Im sure some of the following might be common sense or has been said before, im just to damn lazy to search. SO ... here is my 2¢ on how I get my pFF up and running.

:::Extensions:::

For starters to get a easy to use list of all your local installed extensions I suggest using MR Tech's Local Install. MR Tech's Local Install will give you a list of all you extensions, Plugins and Themes that you can view in HTML and there will be links to all your extensions. There are several features of MR Tech's Local Install that are just awesome.

Yesterday I installed Portable Firefox 1.5 for the first time and it is running well.
Is there a way to have multiple profiles?. I notice there is no profile.ini file in the package so I guess this may not be possible.

I'm not sure if this is specific to me, but after I upgraded to Firefox Portable 1.5, I'm getting these small, half-second, delays when I type or use the mouse in Firefox. For example, if I manually type in a URL, when I first click my mouse in the address bar, there will be a small delay and then when I start typing there will be a small delay. Also, when I click to select a bookmark, there will be a delay. It happens sporadically, but enough to be really annoying. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using Windows XP Home, with 1GB of RAM. I'm also using the Qute theme and I have the following extensions installed:

First of all thank you very much for this great application.
Now I use PortableFirefox from HDD as standard windows application and it's pretty nice way to keep everything what I need in one easy-to-copy directory.
The only thing which I couldn't realize is how can I open some html or even mht (I installed the appropriate extension) file with PFF doing this with right-click mouse menu and Open with... option. The default browser is still Internet Explorer. Is it possible to have some command line parameters including filename upon PortableFirefox.exe startup?
