Firefox Portable

history not searched when typing in location bar

Submitted by zoe on August 1, 2009 - 4:41pm

Hi,

I opened a topic over at the mozilla forum because I'm experiencing the problem that when typing in the location bar my history (sites I've visited before) is not searched. Only sites I've TYPED before are searched.
They suggested it might be an issue due to my portable version.

Here's the original thread: http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=en-US&comme...

Any hints are highly appreciated!

Corporate intranet/network question (authentication prompt)

Weird question for y'all. Every now and then - not even every day - I'll be on a site, doesn't matter which one, and I'll click a link or click something and it'll pop up a Javascript warning saying "The server at [corporate intranet proxy server] and port [port] wants your username and password." I'll hit cancel, and it'll change to a page saying my Internet access can't continue until I supply credentials. But it doesn't actually do anything, I hit Back and click the link again and it's fine.

Downloads dont work randomly

Submitted by durex on July 31, 2009 - 12:11pm

I've been having an issue lately where downloads dont seem to work in FF Portable. When I click a link to download, Im prompted if I want to save or open, click OK, but then nothing happens. I can still bring the Downloads dialog up but it doesnt have the file Im downloading.

Anyone else run into this issue or know what the problem could possibly be?

Thanks.

v3.5.1 clears cookies

Submitted by soibangla on July 30, 2009 - 1:16pm

Apparently v3.5.1 clears cookies on shutdown for sites that I have saved in tabs as my "home pages." I have not set FF to clear anything on shutdown. All cookies are not cleared, just for sites that I have saved in tabs as my "home pages."

Losing my settings

Submitted by jjohnson2499 on July 30, 2009 - 12:34pm

For the last couple of days everytime I open up firefox I have to reset my proxy settings and other settings like what application to use to open what file type. Any idea of what is going on. I haven't changed anything or updated FF, so I don't know why all the sudden its doing this.
