Firefox Portable

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

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?

Hi

The two parameters AdditionalParameters and LocalHomepage are mixed up, for example with those settings:

AdditionalParameters = install-global-extension
LocalHomepage = hello.html

FirefoxPortable is trying to load the page http://www.install-global-extension.com

So firefox portable really leaves nothing behind? Nothing?

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?

So i used this http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/register-firefox-portable-with-default... to set my portable firefox as the default application for links etc. The problem i'm having, is when i try clicking a link inside my email, i get the message:

"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

FireFox 3.1 required so much memory that it cannot run correctly on this machine. For example, it cannot display gmail correctly, claiming that it does not have enough memory to run scripts. I ran this test on a laptop with 512 MB of ram and running Vista Home Basic.

The local library computers run XP in 256 MB.

I have been using the portable apps suite for a little over a week - everything is working fine (Gimp, ftp,Keepass, etc,etc)I can sign in to every site that is in my browser. Recently though I have been unable to login to Facebook, where as when i first started using the portable browser I could sign in every time. Has anybody else noticed a problem like this?

PS.I deleted my password from my browser and entered it manually in a attempt to resolve the problem, but it has had no effect.

Firefox 3.1 beta 3 can be downloaded here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.1b...

I saw the link posted at http://www.neowin.net/news/software/09/03/12/firefox-31-beta-3

The main Beta page doesn't link to Beta 3 yet, but it seems that this page is live.

For some time FireFTP no longer works, and I thought it was because it was no longer compatible with FF, but should be as far as I can see.

FireFTP launches just fine, and when I try to connect to a site the logs shows that everything is fine. for example:
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 07:58. Server port: 21.
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
