Why temp directory in c:/ upon startup?

Submitted by viscouse on February 1, 2010 - 9:21am

Everytime I fire up FFP from my USB drive, it creates a randomly named directory in C:\TEMP called nsa184.tmp. The format is actually NS***.tmp.
It contains the following files:
FindProcDLL.dll
newadvsplash.dll
registry.dll
splash.jpg
system.dll

They don't get deleted upon closure. Why are these here, and how can I make sure they go away after FFP closes?

firefox portable won't save settings after upgrade to 3.5.7

Submitted by backwash on January 31, 2010 - 3:12am

hey all,

I'm having an issue where evertime I launch firefox after upgrading to 3.5.7, the same 3 tabs pop up ("Welcome to Firefox", "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" and "DownloadHelper" which I added more than a year ago) even though I specify to save tabs after closing.

I am able to save bookmarks and I've tried deleting the "localstore.rdf" file but that didn't help at all.

No settings are saved any longer than the current session that I am using.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

FFP extremely slow to load (3-5 minutes)

Downloaded the latest version, purchased a new flash drive specifically for this purpose.

SO, how do I get this app to load in a shorter time than 3-5 minutes. (New Dell Quad Core, 4gb memory, Win7)

I have to simply walk away for a few minutes and then come back to the machine in order to use this app.

Read the FAQs and did a search but did not find any specific answers as to why and how.

Replaced taskbar icon?

Submitted by FH on January 25, 2010 - 4:51am

Hi there,

i have a problem with the Windows 7 taskbar and Mozilla Firefox Portable. After i've tried the prism addon my FirefoxPortable got a new ugly icon. It's really annoying to have new cool themes in Firefox 3.6 but an ugly icon. Is it possible to replace?

What i've tried so far:
- Put an icon set to App\Firefox\chrome\icons\default folder
- Put an icon set toData\profile\chrome\icons\default folder
- Reinstalling firefox
- Clear icon cache (%userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db)

Do you have any ideas how I can fix the icon?

Changing user content?

Submitted by ConceitArturo on January 25, 2010 - 12:22am

I've been waiting for 3.6 for a good while because I do pixelart, I watch it on several sites and the blurred zoom is simply unacceptable for me.

3.6 is the first version in which you can disable the zoom filters when you zoom in, so that you can see the perfect squared pixel, but unlike friends with regular firefox I cant seem to find usercontent, how should I go about disabling bilinear filter from zoomed in images?

StickWiki issue, maybe Java issue after 3.5.7 --> 3.6 upgrade

Very strange issue I'm having at home. I use Wiki on a Stick (aka StickWiki), a single XHTML file that contains a basic wiki (no history, single user) that I use for various purposes. My novel, but also a dining blog I'm trying to get off the ground, and miscellaneous stuff.
