Firefox Firewalls

Submitted by pearce007 on August 20, 2008 - 6:54am

Could someone please help me. I have been able to download 'winzip' and 'winrar' files whilst in work for the last 6 months, now all of a sudden the IT dept have noticed and stopped any files larger than 10mb from being downloaded. A friend of mine advised that if I were to run Firefox portable on my usb drive that this should bypass the 10mb firewall rule, I have tried doing this and everything goes fine until I try connecting to the internet when running Firefox of my USB key, it keeps timing out, are there any other solutions I could use. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Help! Flash plugin will not work if FirefoxExecutable is changed

Dear all,

Could get flash plugin to work, however:

I have changed the FirefoxExecutable to point to FF.exe

I have changed the name of the filename itself to FF.exe, as instructed in the readme.

Now the flash plugin does not work anymore.

Thanks folks! Need this quite fast.
