Firefox Portable

I just installed Firefox 4 RC 1 Portable, but Java is no longer available. It's installed locally on my machine, and java applets run fine in Google Chrome Portable and Firefox portable 3.6.15. On the about:plugins page, the Java plugin is no longer listed, while it shows this for 3.6.15:

Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U19

File: npjp2.dll
Version: 6.0.190.4
Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_19 for Mozilla browsers

Any idea?

Hello,

When I go into about:config to make mplayer the app for the
mms protocol Firefox still tells me the mms protocol is still
not configured.

about:config reads...

network.protocol-handler.app.mms;/usr/bin/gnome-mplayer

I wonder why this isn't working ?

thx.

Portable Firebox version: 3.6.15

Hi,

Since using firefox on my USB card, I have not been able to add/modify any of my bookmarks, since importing them from my workstation version of FF.
Tried the "bookmark this page", dragging the page upto the bookmark section or Bookmark toolbar.

It will let me create a folder in the toolbar, and also if I drag a page to the HOME icon I can change the starting page to that.

But just unable to add new bookmarks [it will let me remove the ones I already have AND let me re add the same link, but not anything new]

I wonder if someone can just clarify this for me, regarding the version numbering scheme they use with Firefox.

3.6.15 is higher than 3.6.6?

I'm asking because I would den to assume zeroes after the last 6, so version 60, and if it was just six it should be 06, ie 3.6.06

But perhaps that is just me?

Hi,

I tried to do the standard process, i.e. np32dsw.dll to the plugins folder but no luck there is a fixed image displayed on the adobe shockwave test page.

Any one could make it ?

I just started using Firefox 4 Portable for testing, and I notice that the icons for it combine on the taskbar, which doesn't happen with the Fx3 icons. Why? what change in PAF/Fx causes this? any "fix"? (It's going to be a real pain to have to open the preview every time to select the instance I want instead of just clicking on it in the taskbar.)

Thanks.

Hi,

I just read a post asking about updating and saw there is and automatic updater included with the latest release. Before I get the new version, is there an option to turn this off, just not down load, or uninstall?

I don't want ANYTHING updating or calling home without permission. My normal internet connection is limited. I only update applications at libraries.

Thanks,
Bob

I discovered today that the default setting in Firefox Portable is to have the cache be set to 0 MB. This results in Firefox running very slowly. So by simply increasing the cache size, to say 75 MB, it will run significantly faster.

So if any of you are noticing Firefox Portable running slowly, try increasing the cache size.

When I set AllowMultipleInstances=True, Firefox will not start another copy. It only allow multiple instances when it is set to False. It has been like this for some time.

I wish to save the Firefox start page of the 4.0 beta 12 portable version, a Google search page containing the Firefox logo, but in the navigation tab there appears only "about:home" instead of the usual URL address. When I entered "about:home" in version 3.6, it made no sense. Please could someone advise how the about:home can be translated into a URL that can be inserted in the usual navigation tab in another browser.
