Firefox 4 Beta7 won't start

Submitted by johneboy on November 23, 2010 - 11:27am

I'm trying to get Firefox 4 Beta7 to run from my usb stick. Every time I install it and try to launch it the splash screen is displayed and then nothing happens. I have tried restarting the PC, reinstalling the app and even different usb sticks, but I cannot get it to load from any of them.

Is there a special method for installing this app that I need to follow? Or is there a fix?

Firefox 3.6.12 terribly slow - Java or not to Java?

Submitted by sjoerdrb on November 23, 2010 - 6:46am

I am an avid user of Firefox and most of the other portableapps software on my USB stick. Recently (since the previous USB stick and my washing machine didn't make it out together) I purchased a 16 Gb Imation and did a NTFS format.

Firefox is now so terrible sloooooooooow in responding that I don't know what to do now..It takes ages to start - the mouse seems to be frozen numerous times.
I can get a cup of coffee, chat with some friends and by that time FF has responded.

xtra error when trying to view shockwave dxr file

Submitted by logan3xx on November 17, 2010 - 6:15pm

When trying to view a shockwave dxr file I get an error:

"This application requires an Xtra (DirectMediaXtra) that either does not exit or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure the appropriate Xtras are in the Xtras folder(s)."

This only happens with some dxr files, not all.

Any help?

thanks

Portable Firefox 2.2? Where to dl?

Submitted by Mckenna123 on November 13, 2010 - 6:40am

Because a couple of issues with the newer Firefox versions and themes that won't work in it, etc., etc., I have had to stay with FF2.

However my Portable FF 2.0.0.3 is now very oudated. I was told there FF2 went up to 2.20. Is there a version of FF2 Portable that goes up that high? I can't find a dl anywhere but perhaps someone here knows. Just until a couple of themes and extensions (ext. that don't work just by changing the max version in the rdf file) catch up to the latest FF.

If anyone knows of a dl link, would appreciate it as after some time googling, no luck my end.

Hi,

I have been using the portable firefox for a while, however I noticed there's a different when searching @ google.
This is what I get at clicking on the background of a search result in the portable version: http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/7309/naamloost.png
I do not have this on my desktop version, can anyone tell me how to enable this? Is this an addon?

Thanks in advance,
