Firefox Portable

Downloads, Open Folder, Popups.

Submitted by DADSGETNDOWN on November 10, 2008 - 6:03pm

Hello Boys and Girls.
I am wondering if these 2 or 3 things are is purposely left out,
or maybe it should or could be requested.
Or maybe there is a setting or a fix.

(1) = When you click a download link to a file FF does not have a
popup blocker, per say, I do use Adblock+ 7.5.5.
Like IE it blocks it then a little bar up top says it was blocked,
and you can click that and choose to download the file.
So to me apparently it might be blocking popups, I can't tell.
But not the ones that the user clicks a link for.?

There seems to be no allow popups or temporarily allow,

I was in options, and pressed a help button - Firefox Portable then opens a web page with information - however it didn't open in the existing version of Firefox but launched a new version - and I'm not sure if that was the portable version or not
(I don't have a version installed, but i'm assuming if you launch the browser without using the launcher things go wrong).

Is this a generally bad thing? Can things have been screwed up now?

"Add New Toolbar" Function Fails [Solved]

Submitted by MiK on November 8, 2008 - 2:54am

Even though, It's not a crucial issue for me, I'm really puzzled about the "Add New Toolbar" customization option failing to actually install one.

It only works half way. I can see a new bar being added initially, but after pressing the "Done" button, it just disappears.

Doing a search, I've found this post here: https://portableapps.com/node/762 , suggesting that the problem is usually caused by extensions. So, first, I played with my add-ons by disabling them all, eventually. That didn't solve the problem.

How to delete Bookmarks Toolbar Folder

Submitted by upchuck on November 7, 2008 - 5:57pm

I have a Bookmarks Toolbar Folder and find it very handy.

I was creating a new bookmark folder and clicked on Edit and accidentally clicked, "Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder." So now I have a new BTF which has replaced the old BTF.

How do I delete the new BTF? Right clicking to give properties works, but Delete is grayed out. If I click on Edit with the new BTF selected, Delete is grayed out.

How do I delete this?

TIA
