Firefox Portable

Able To Revert From FF-3 Back To 2?

Submitted by KMGC on September 13, 2008 - 12:59pm

I'm still on the fence on whether or not I want FF-3 with all of its changes and asked about it over at FireFox Support:

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=846065

Someone suggested I try FFP-3.
Ah, that's an idea. I then asked some questions about it and was directed here:
Other than being portable and self contained, what is the difference?
More to the point, what is the advantage of having the regular FF over the portable? Is there a (lower?) limit (e.g.) to the size of the bookmark file/folder and/or restriction to the number and types of add-ons available?

Add-Ons have stopped working

I have Firefox Portable version 2.0.0.16 installed on my flash drive, and I hadn't had any problems with it for a long time. Then just the other day, all my add-ons suddenly stopped working, even though it says that they're enabled. I can't do anything to get them to work now. I haven't manually updated anything, but I guess something might have automatically updated or something.

No Images addon?

Submitted by eaklandc on September 11, 2008 - 2:59pm

I use Firefox Portable running on a flash drive and using my AT&T phone connected to my laptop to access the internet. Its a 230kbps connection but it would be nice to have an addon that i can quickly turn on and off loading images. this way when browsing forums it would just be a redx or just the outline of where the image would be, but if i want to see the pictures i can move up and turn it on and the page reloads with images.

anyone know of anything like this? or any other add on that will make a "dial-up" connection faster?

change firefox.exe filename

Submitted by onesixtyfourth on September 11, 2008 - 5:06am

Hi,

our IT department has added firefox to our virus list and the file firefox.exe gets deleted when you attempt to run it. To get around this I need to change the executables name but I can't find where I do this. I have looked through some of the files inside FirefoxPortable and found settings that appear to be pointing to the executable but changing these does not work. Is there a way I can do this.

Profiles

Submitted by schwooba on September 9, 2008 - 12:00pm

Howdy...is there a way to setup a profile that will work with FFPE? I tried using the firefoxportable.exe --profilemanager, but it doesn't work. Or does anyone else have an idea of how to secure FF so I only need to login once and then I can access all my saved passwords, cookies etc? Truecypt would be great, but it requires admin rights to secure an entire USB.

Thanks in advance.

firefox detaching tab without reloading ? posible ?

Submitted by BUFFBOY on September 9, 2008 - 9:14am

firefox detaching tab without reloading the page is this posible ?

iv been using opera and now i really close to moving across to FF because its heaps better but one last thing is can we detach the tabs with the page reloading option ???

and also when its been detached can this window be resized smaller so it can hide in the corner of my screen... the whole point of detaching a page is so i can still browse my main page with normal size but the detached one abit smaller without affecting my main page when i re-open it. Opera user will know what i mean..
