Firefox 3rd Profile

Submitted by Hsnopi on June 15, 2011 - 10:50am

So I am using the 2nd Profile tool and it worked great for a second profile in FF. It says install it and it will create a third profile. I tried that and nothing happened. When you run it from the PA Installer it never gives an option for a different location. I tried renaming the 2nd profile to 3rd profile and installing The 2nd Profile app again but it didn't work. I couldn't even get the 3rd profile to show up in the PA menu after altering the PAMenu.ini file. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Can anyone give me a hand?

Firefox PA doesn´t keep the compatibility updates

Submitted by Jorge XXXXX on June 14, 2011 - 8:24am

I've seen more posts about this problem and I think I have found the nick of it.
Whenever I change from a computer to another the addons that doesn´t have a true update since the 3.X version but only a compatibility update, doesn't remember of it so I asume that:
1- the data is kept in the registry and it doesn't get saved;
2- there is no real change to the extension so it isn't saved.

I must say that this problem was also with the 3.0 version so it isn't 4.0 especific, but only related with the compatibility updates in either big version change.

I can't connect to internet

What is the use of portable applications if you can only connect with them from home? Well it seems i am behind some kind of proxy, however your get proxy utility didn't give any solution. the IP line was empty.

There is nothing in the IE settings where you are supposed to see the IP. though the default IE8 works just fine. i also managed to install Chrome on computer and it works more or less fine. some sites still get blocked as we have a filter.

Unable to Lauch Firefoxportable.exe

Submitted by phoenixdogstar on June 3, 2011 - 2:33pm

I'm trying to use it at my local library. I'm doing so because I'm trying to figure out how to use the latest version of flash at the terminal. The tech staff here won't be upgrading for many months.

When I double click FirefoxPortable.exe, I get this message

"Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information open Event Viewer or contact your system administrator"

Help Please

FFP on a Terminalserver

Submitted by Moh-Aw on May 31, 2011 - 3:49am

Hello,

We are trying to implement Firefox Portable on our terminal servers.

Current situation:
A program calls an instance of ffp locally to display data. The users have the option to enable a timer that refreshes the data every X minutes, which means that it opens another instance of firefox and shuts down the old one.
As long as the instances are local, everything works fine.

Running Firefox on 2 computers

Submitted by Frank1 on May 29, 2011 - 4:30am

I run 2 computers, 1 at home and 1 at work. Up to V3.5, I used to sync FF with my copy on a USB drive and take it to the other computer and sync it to the other computer. This has worked ok. Now that I have upgraded to V4.0.1, this method no longer works. Firefox launches, stays in the task bar and can only be maximized.
The main reason I am doing it this way is that I want to continue to work with tabs I had before. I could make this all work if I knew the file that contains the tabs. This way I would only have to sync that file and continue to work.

Can't copy Firefox Portable from C to anywhere!

Submitted by Nini.1973 on May 28, 2011 - 11:49am

Hi!

I have installed Firefox Portable 3.6.13 to the C section of my computer yesterday, and after having invested 5 (FIVE!!) hours in getting all my add-ons and settings installed therein which I used in my older version of Firefox (installed version, not portable), I wanted to copy my new FFP to another drive to save the present state in case something happens, and also so that I have all my add-ons and settings saved for the next update.
