Firefox 3.0.5 / oclite v1.0 plugin - possible bug ??

Submitted by kermit.frog on January 23, 2009 - 11:17am

OK I've just 'updated' from portable Firefox 3.0.4 to 3.0.5 & when starting I get message stating that 'oclite plugin is not compatible with 3.0.5' (or words to that effect)

Looking in the Plugins - & 'oclite' is disabled (as per normal incompatible plugins)

However there's no 'Uninstall' option avaliable, all buttons are greyed out ([Options] / [Enable] / [Uninstall] )

So what exactly is this 'oclite' plugin ??

Suggested revision for support page

Submitted by colinnwn on January 23, 2009 - 10:15am

I have a suggested revision for the support page. Do the developers/website guys read this forum?

I didn't read the support page close enough and thought the link to John's paf installer was the same thing as the xpi installer instructions immediately below. Either way, the xpi instructions no longer seem to work (at least on 3 different installations of firefox I have). I get the error message it couldn't be installed because "the installer script couldn't be found -204."

Firefox automatically clears my history

Submitted by ManiakMatt on January 21, 2009 - 5:33pm

Hi All,

My first post as usually I find the info I am looking for from all you knowledgeable guru's......enough buttering up, I need answers!...lol

For the last week or so I have had Firefox automatically changing my privacy settings to "always clear my private data when I close Firefox"

I have changed this setting back just before closing a few times now and it keeps changing itself back.

It happened after I installed and then uninstalled the "Morning Coffee" add-on.

Any ideas on what to check?

Cheers,
Matt

Downloads fail at the end

Submitted by dwschulze on January 21, 2009 - 3:35pm

Everything I've tried to download has failed right at the end of the download. I get a *.part file that looks like a complete download, but the download never completes. Download manager says that a few seconds remain, but never completes.

When I restart Firefox it tries to finish the download, but fails again. The attempted download restart has also overwritten a file that I copied to the same directory of the same name.

I'm using version 3.5

Is there a URL to file a bug for this?

Firefox Portable *Live* on CD-R -> Add-ons windows starts by itself

Submitted by eiliky on January 19, 2009 - 12:33pm

Hello,

I'm using PFF for a little encyclopedia-like project with lots of html files on it. I've managed to bring an auto-loading-in-fullscreen version of PFF to CD-R, that loads on start-up an html file located on the same CD-R. The only problem is, when PFF starts the add-ons window pops up saying something like "No Updates Available"... though i`m pretty sure i've disabled all updates...

pls... help! Smile

*Update*

I Can't Right Click Anymore

Submitted by PaisleyRaven on January 18, 2009 - 1:25pm

For some reason about 2 days ago I lost the ability to right-click within the windows I'm working in. Right-click menus just don't come up.
It happened on my laptop at home & my work computer. I can right click anything in status bar and the tool bars, but nothing will respond to right click in the window.
For example: I save a lot of pictures and such, and I have FF set to send them to a certain folder. I activate this by right-clicking the picture & selecting the command from the menu that pops.
I'm not getting that menu anymore.

Guideline to install plugins (Flash, Java, Firebug, etc..?)

Submitted by sirbender on January 17, 2009 - 5:53pm

I wonder if there exists a guide on how to install plugins in PortableFirefox?

Obviously I want to install the plugins in my PortableFirefox directory and allow other computers to run PortableFirefox with working plugins from my USB Stick.

Is there a comprehensive tutorial to do this for all plugins step by step?

Cheers..sb.

freez when save page

Submitted by lokomotiv_lib on January 16, 2009 - 3:47pm

Hi folks

I don't have Internet connection at home, so I use Internet only at coffeeInt and at work, therefore FFP is very useful for me. Sometimes I need to save a page, then I clickright and "save page as" - "web page complete". Then during a few seconds or just a fraction of second ffp stay freez. I know is short time, but that is upset.

Is there someway to avoid it?
