Firefox Portable

I just found my USB drive with PortableApps on it and decided I needed to update Portable Firefox. I also decided to update all the add-ons and add a couple of new ones.

Thanks to the FAQ, I downloaded the latest version (3.0.10) and installed it using the PortableApps menu. The program runs fine, and when I searched for updates to the add-ons it downloaded them and ran through the usual installation steps. One didn't update because of a file error, but I'll get that later. I also added Tabs Mix Plux and Xmarks.

Hi

Is there any add-on to see pdf files on firefox?, I mean without open a pdf reader.

Thanks a lot

in the last 48 hours, every embedded youtube video just shows a white rectangle rather than the player.

embeds from every other video player site work, and youtube.com videos work. so it's just something broken with the embeds.

when i run firefox.exe it works fine, but when i run firefoxportable.exe it's broken.

i don't recall changing anything in browser that would affect this.

how can i troubleshoot this without erasing all my bookmarks/history/stored passwords/plugins and just starting over?

thanks

I've been wanting to install the shockwave plugin for firefox, but I don't have admin rights. I have access to a computer that has admin rights, if that helps. When I searched for ways to install the plugin it said that I had to redirect the installer or something to FFP, i can't do this. Thanks

Hi everybody,

I'm using Firefox portable since many years now and have been always very happy with it. During all those years, my Profile folder grew to the incredible size of 550MB!! I'm not really sure what's in there so I thought of getting rid of everything by installing a new fresh copy and transferring just my password file and my bookmarks.
Unfortunately doing some search here on this site I just found the suggestion to copy the whole Profile folder in order to transfer settings, but that's exactly what I do not want to do, just passwords and bookarks are ok.

Hello,
in older versions of PortableFirefox, there was the
file MultipleFirefoxLoader.exe where you could start
multiple instances of Firefox (with different profiles).
In the new version, it is missing.

Can I download it anywhere?

Now, you can start multiple windows with the same profile,
which is really nice, as this was not possible with the
old version (for example when a download was running and
you wanted to reopen firefox) - but you cannot start firefox
when another instance (with another profile) is running.

Hello, I am running Firefox Portable and trying to get Java to work. It works perfectly in Internet Explorer; I just prefer to use FF. Based on advice from other sites, I tried opening the control panel, going to Advanced, and checking the Mozilla Family option under Default Java for Browsers. But every time I click "Apply" and then "Okay" it seems to reset itself. In other words, every time I check to see that the option has been enabled, the Mozilla Family option is unticked. I've tried choosing the option several times, but it keeps resetting.

Is there something I can type into Tools>Options...>Main>Downloads>Save Files To that will make it always automatically download to the root of the drive?

I am having a problem since upgrading to Portable FF 3.0.10. My Gbookmarks button does not display the bookmarks anymore. When I try to log in through the button I get an error message saying ‘could not log in, check password’. But, if I go to Google page and then log in from there I am able to log in. After that clicking on the bookmarks button shows that I am logged in, but it does not display the bookmarks. I have tried to remove and uninstall the button and I have tried using another button called 'Deng Google Bookmarks' but all have the same problem.

Please help.

today when i opened firefox portable
all my bookmarks and history disappeared
and the firefox running very slow
any idea why?
