Firefox Portable

Windows 98 compatibility question

Submitted by Ninho on October 23, 2009 - 5:39am

Hi Forum! New to PortableApps & FFPortable. I've been trying portable Firefox 3.5.3 - running from system's main hard disk. Works as designed (great!) in Windows 2000, but doesn't in Windows 98 SE (this is a multi-boot system). I have Windows 98 SE with Unicows and Kernelex, and Firefox 3.0.14 runs here correctly (regular installation, non portable).

The portable FF laucher starts and then shuts itself down almost immediately :=(

Wrong Version Of Firefox Starts

Submitted by Ed T on October 22, 2009 - 6:36pm

I use Firefox Portable version 3.5.3. If Firefox is not already launched/opened, the following occurs. I click on an embedded link in an email (any program), document, or other source as long as Firefox browser is not running. When Firefox launches, I notice it is does not have my current add-ons, bookmarks, etc. If need any of the missing items, I have to close Firefox, re-start Firefox and click on embedded web link. If Firefox is already running, then this problem never occurs. How can I resolve this issue?

Firefox X VLC

Im running compiled firefox out of runz on ubuntu and KDE platform

But Im triing to ecounter VLC media and no sucess

The RUNZ is HIGHLY BAD!! to run app from portable devices, why requires install frame runz and administrator permissions, ARGH!!!

If you choose portable apps for linux choose compiled, where this, on instalation:

Be a directory: config on integer part of install and maker pc

VLC SMPLayer Mplayer etc. VERY GOOD IF, OUT OF RUNZ!!!

From others HIGHLY BAD...

Firefox; Spell checker; 'forgeting' words over different computers.

Submitted by gimfred on October 15, 2009 - 11:37pm

I'm loving firefox portable but the one thing that has been annoying me is that the spell checker seems to forget what words I put into it.

For instance, being Australian, I use (a lot!) 'ise' words instead of 'ize' words as in: 'realise' instead of USA's 'realize'. Every time I switch a computer, even one I have been to before, I need to 'correct' my spelling.

Why would it saving the spell checker to places that it forgets between computers?

PFF not opening - what do I do to make it work

Submitted by marcb on October 14, 2009 - 8:56am

When I double click on the exe in the folder, up comes the splash screen, but FF itself doesn't open. Can anyone give me some advice to make it work.

I moved it from one folder to another and that could be the problem. I am also using Live Mesh to sync my desktop folder between PS's, if that has a factor. When I click on the "Live Mesh online" link, it opens FF, with no problem.

Moving from Vista machine to Xp machine

Submitted by kashga on October 12, 2009 - 1:17am

I've been running FF on a Vista machine, and then I went to an XP machine, and created bookmarks. When I moved back to the Vista machine, none of those bookmarks appear. Is it something to do with reading and writing sqlite files under the different operating systems ?

Similar things happened in my Thunderbird.

Reset Default

Submitted by opo on October 10, 2009 - 4:14am

I use Firefox Portable from day one, and during this time I made some mods that I totally forgot how and where. Now I have some problems with tabs size, and font display. I unpacked latest release 3.5.3 several times, and move Data folder inside, but problems still present.
I don't want to lose my passwords, and history, How should i do Reset Default Settings, or What should I move to a new Portable Firefox so that i have my pass, history, bookmarks and add-ons?
