Need help with saving from cache

Submitted by davidm on March 26, 2009 - 2:35pm

Hi.

I have this flash animation running on my Firefox Portable. I want to save the swf file to my PC, but the website is down (have been down for hours now). The flash animation is still running in a tab.

I checked about:cache. The swf file is in the Memory cache device (Offline cache device is empty).

My question is, is there any way I can retrieve and save the swf from the memory cache?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

copy paste problem

Submitted by TigerTee on March 25, 2009 - 5:10pm

Whenever I use ctrl-c to copy a url or other text (even copied text from another application), and then use ctrl-v to paste it into firefox portable, the text is doubled = inserted twice. When I try pasting into other applications, it only pastes it once. Any suggestions?

Last year there was a whole page featuring the entire PortableApps Suite.

Can launcher be set to open new Firefox window when app is running

Submitted by RandomGuy001 on March 23, 2009 - 10:46am

I was wondering if the Firefox Portable launcher could be configured to create a new window when the launcher is clicked and the app is already running, just like how it's done when it's installed. Currently it gives the "Firefox is open and not responding close the process" error, even with "AllowMultipleInstances" set to true.

Any ideas?

Phenomenal app by the way. Thanks for all the hard work!

Menu Editor extension gets "uninstalled" when drive letter changes

Submitted by Devo on March 20, 2009 - 3:46pm

I'm not sure what the problem is, but whenever the drive letter changes an extension (Menu Editor) no longer works, it says it is not installed. I must go to the Firefox extensions page and reinstall it. After a restart all my settings for that extension are restored. I was just wondering if anybody has experienced any problems like this or if anybody knows a fix.

settings not saved to portable drive

Submitted by plummet on March 20, 2009 - 3:41pm

I love having portable firefox, but settings like "store history" and changes to the chrome (i.e. "do not show statusbar" and "do not show home button") are either not saved to my portable device or are ignored. Also, firefox thinks i have just installed addons whenever i open it on a new computer. That is not a big deal but it may help pointout the underlying problem here.

If you need more information about these issues I am more than happy to test things out or give greater detail.

So, how can i make firefox remember my changes?

Thanks

How to disable automatic add-on installation?

Submitted by datort on March 18, 2009 - 6:39am

Hi forum,

i created a small presentation which is handouted on cd. it shows a website with an embeeded WMP (firefox plugin) and runs from cd with the portable version of ff.

my problem: when i insert the cd to a pc where ff is already installed, my portable version seems to be looking for add-on/extensions and displays a popup after starting that says "add-ons where successfully installed" or anything like that.

is there any chance of disabling this dialog? or prevent ff from searching for extensions maybe via command line option or in the config?

Adding Adobe Flash Player to FF Portable

Submitted by seanspotatobusiness on March 15, 2009 - 8:00am

I am using portable Firefox from my USB stick on university-owned computers. When I try to use Google Anayltics to determine usage statistics of a website that I am presiding over, all the images which should be graphs are replaced with green jigsaw pieces advising me to install a missing plug-in. I try to do this and I'm told that it cannot be done automatically and instead must be done manuallly. So I click on the 'manual' button and I am taken to the Adobe Flash Player download page. I download the file and then what?
