Firefox Portable

Problems with autocompletion

Submitted by MichelJ on March 23, 2010 - 4:20am

Updated my portable 3.5 version to the 3.6 version, in the same way as I always do.

Before I moved the 3.5 version around from pc to pc, with no problems whatever.

Now, when I type in an url, firefox doesn't show a list of suggestions from the history. When I check history everything's there, when I go through google for that link, the link in the google search is highlighted, meaning I have indeed already been to that site. But firefox doesn't give me the list.

When I download the flash from the link given on this website, it's a very old flash, from 2009.

Where and how do I install the very latest flash for firefox?

Atm, I have Flash version 10,0,32,18, but the latest is 10.0.45.2.

Cheers.

Firefox Portable 2.0: Anti-Phishing

Submitted by Leon B on March 22, 2010 - 2:41pm

Hi!

Today used Firefox 2.0 (for testing purposes)

I also looked around in the settings menu. There was one thing that i didn't understand:
It seems like you can't activate the anti-phishing-function.
If you look on the screenshot you can see that the option is just colored grey. (The second from top)

Do you have an idea why the option isn't available?

Greetings,
Leon B

Quicktime

Submitted by New_One on March 20, 2010 - 4:28am

Sorry if this has been asked before.
Is there a portable Quicktime add-on? Or a way to save the Quicktime-dlls in FFQ so that the app can handle QT-streams?
Thanks!

Setting static DNS entry in cache

Submitted by MrDuncanMike on March 19, 2010 - 3:12am

Hello, I would like to set a static DNS entry in Firefox's cache. So far I've been unable to figure out if this is possible as most everything points to extending the cache time and entry list size. I've located the following variables but am wondering if I haven't scowered the internet long enough to find the magic entry. Or if there is another way / work around.

network.dnsCacheEntries
network.dnsCacheExpiration
network.dns.disablePrefetch
network.dns.disablePrefetchFromHTTPS
network.dns.disableIPv6
network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains

Bookmarks on LAN-Drive?

Submitted by New_One on March 17, 2010 - 10:26am

Hello and thanks in advance.
My problem:
I run FFP on two different machines. I save all information, files etc. on a LAN drive O habe access on with both computers.
Now anytime any change to my bookmarks (or any setting for that matter) has to be done manually on both machines.
Is there any way to export the setting folder to my LAN drive in a way a change on one machine would be work on the other one as well ("exporiting" the settings folder to a different location)?
Again, thanks a lot!

CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER

Submitted by dhartsoc on March 16, 2010 - 11:41pm

Prior to FF 3.6 I could type in the address bar something like "openoffice" and then press ctrl-shift Enter to go to openoffice.org. Same goes for shift-Enter to automatically go to .net. Now this is not working for me. Is this a change in behavior for FF 3.6 or something peculiar to my installation? Ctrl-Enter still works for .com.

Running from CD-ROM: annoying question for making a temp copy

Submitted by BuzzDee on March 16, 2010 - 11:12am

I want to use PortableFirefox on a CD-ROM. I know, that it cannot really run from a non-writable media, an so it makes a temporary copy on the hard drive of the host computer. That is OK. But there is always a message window, in which this is explained and in which you are asked, if you want to make a copy. And of course you have to click on "yes", otherwise FirefoxPortable will not start.
