Firefox Portable

Firefox Portable has suddenly started crashing every few minutes

Submitted by aesmith on July 11, 2011 - 6:56am

Hi,

I've used Firefox portable for a long time on my main PC. I upgraded to 4.0 a couple of months ago if I remember rightly, then a few weeks ago I went to 5.0 but also kept an installation of 4.0 available.

Suddenly its started crashing every few minutes and is essentially unusable (I'm using Chrome to type this!). This happens with both the 4.0 and the 5.0 instances, and also with a brand-new instance of 5.0 that I downloaded and installed. I've brought all Plugins up to date.

Testing Firefox 7 "Aurora" in portable mode

Submitted by Milic on July 9, 2011 - 8:15am

At some point it was possible to install a beta of Firefox and switch to Aurora channel (now in v7)
Would it be possible to reintroduce such beta version of Portable FF?
I have been trying to play around with current v5 which can be upgraded to v6 beta as of yesterday, but no Aurora ...

Thanks

PS I wanna test the "lower memory consumption" feature Wink

Web Pages - Acess Denied from Host Computer

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:

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

Submitted by mgagnonlv on June 23, 2011 - 11:07am

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.
