What's the dang version???

Submitted by Brock_Savage on September 15, 2011 - 1:16pm

I've been using the Portable Apps version of Firefox for a couple of years, and it works great for me. The version I'm using, according to the About item on the Help menu, is 3.6.13, which I assume corresponds with the same native Mozilla version.

I thought it was time to upgrade to version 4, so I came here expecting to find a version 4 of the Portable App. Instead, the current version here is 6.0.2. WTF?

I click on "Other Versions," and the next lowest version number is 3.6.22.

Is there really no portable way for Quicktime Plugins for Firefox Portable?

Submitted by tinfanide on September 10, 2011 - 1:59am

Some online tutorials suggest a solution to the portable Quicktime Plugin problem for Firefox Portable:

Copy the following files (from QuickTime Lite install package) to the below path:
\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins

QuickTimePlugin.class
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
npqtplugin.dll
npqtplugin2.dll
npqtplugin3.dll
npqtplugin4.dll
npqtplugin5.dll

But it's still not workable.
Is there a way like installing flash plugins for Firefox Portable (copying the files to %APPDATA%) for Quicktime?

Request for Firefox 7.0b4 or b5 Portable

Submitted by Sovereign on September 7, 2011 - 10:27am

In light of the reasonable memory improvements in Firefox 7, which have not only been talked about quite a bit, but also noticeable to me, I would really like to see Firefox 7.0b4 or 7.0b5 (which should be out within a couple of days) made available in a PortableApps version.

Even as a beta, I would just assume use Firefox 7 rather than wait another 2 or 3 weeks for it reach "release" status.

Thank you in advance.

Firefox Portable - Password Manager insecure?

I somehow achieved a highly unsecure situation on one of my systems and can't even remediate it now.
Clean uninstal also seems useless for a portable application, isn't it?

- Had an old Firefox (presumably 4.x) running on a Win XP system.
- Unistalled it, but without deleting cache and presets.
- Had a Firefox Protable installation on a USB (at that time 5.x, now 6.x) and decided to simply copy it to my HDD in order to avoid re-installing all addons and so on

Summary of add-ons / extensions for Firefox Portable Legacy v.2.0.0.20

Submitted by fergus on September 6, 2011 - 1:35am

This question is about Firefox Portable Legacy v.2.0.0.20 but hope it will not be dismissed as irrelevant. I use this and Thunderbird v.2.0.0.24 as I cannot stand the more modern versions.
Usually I use Firefox on a stick on my own/ family machines with Admin privs so Flash and other add-ons get loaded almost invisibly.
Now on a borrowed machine I cannot listen to the BBC or Classic FM (radio) or watch YouTube videos (some/ all?) or watch BBC TV ... probably other missing utilities.
