Firefox Portable

Downgrade Firefox

Submitted by mlun on August 14, 2009 - 1:56am

Just "upgraded" to FF 3.5.2. from 3.0.13 or something like that I believe. Nothing but problems since, downloading doesn't work, tabs are just spinning without updating, crashed 2 times in 20 minutes etc.

Can anyone please tell how to downgrade the portable version?

Excessivly poor performance - 30-75 seconds to load up

Submitted by jamcomm on August 13, 2009 - 6:13am

I've just read a comment on this thread about firefox portable's pathetic performance when trying to start up (30 - 75 seconds).

I'm guessing this relates to the size of the software ("9MB download / 27-77MB installed"), and it trying to drag all this data into memory to start up.

Is there something that can be done to fix this problem? Adding a much more streamlined brower to portableapps.com perhaps?

If local Firefox is running, I can run Firefox Portable only with AllowMultipleInstance, but after that I can't open new window

My application needs to execute some URL. I need to open this URL in Firefox Portable. If there is a already installed and running other Firefox, than my Firefox Portable, FP will not execute (There is well know message about another running instance).

Xmarks not compatible with Firefox 3.5.2

Submitted by spierskallas on August 11, 2009 - 2:43pm

Hello,
"Xmarks not compatible with Firefox 3.5.2" was what was seen after I tried to add-on Xmarks (3.1.0) to Firefox 3.5.2 portable. The quote is not completely true because Xmarks (3.1.0) is compatible with Firefox 3.5.2 (standard). I never had Xmarks as an add-on to Firefox 3.5 portable or any other version. Before I downgrade Firefox on my U3 flash to a version compatible with Xmarks, I'd like to know the most recent version Xmarks worked with, if any.

Please advise!
