Web Pages - Acess Denied from Host Computer

Submitted by sweetc on July 5, 2011 - 7:23pm

Hello All!

When I initially installed FireFox Portable on the USB I could surf any webpage on the Host Computer.

The IE 8 installed on the Host Computer would give the following message when attempting to reach certain web pages:

Organization's Website access policy on monitored systems has stopped access to this website:

Even for PortableApps.org there was a problem:

where are cookies stored?

Submitted by bpmackow on June 25, 2011 - 4:03am

I found a folder on my school user network drive labeled "cookies". It contains cookies from dates when I know I didn't use IE (I used it twice the entire spring semester). I also contained cookies from dates old enough that they should have been deleted when I periodically clear out the cookies.

So what I want to know is, where does Firefox Portable save cookies? There is also ~/FirefoxPortable/Data/profile/cookies.sqlite, could this be it?

Bug in the Locale parameter

Hello,

For some time (maybe since Firefox 4.0), I think there is a bug in remembering my preferred locale. And my recent forays in PHP seems to confirm it: it is NOT defined.

The problem exists when I use the French portable edition of Firefox 4.01 and now 5.0, on Windows 7 and, I'm almost certain, on Windows XP. And it definitely is unique to the Portable edition of Firefox because the non-portable edition does not have this problem. And starting a new profile doesn't solve the problem.

Thanks.

i install FirefoxPortable_5.0_English.paf.exe on c:\FirefoxPortable,
run FirefoxPortable.exe at once and exit,
create C:\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\chrome\userChrome.css.

userChrome.css is saved on unicode, contains below

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
#browser { -moz-box-direction: reverse;}
