Firefox Portable

Unable to Override Invalid Certificates

Submitted by doychi on June 24, 2008 - 8:19pm

Hi,

I have installed the latest download of PFF3 and when I visit my internet mail (privately hosted) with an expired self-signed certificate I can't access the site. I get an alert with a cryptic (ie programmer message) and an OK button, but no option to force the site to load.

This was the behaviour I experience during the FF3 Betas.

Is there some way to enable the FF3 behaviour?

Firefox and Google Docs

Submitted by tracon on June 24, 2008 - 2:54pm

OK...so I downloaded and installed Firefox 3 Portable and everything is working great except one little thing.

Whenever I go to Google Docs, as the page finishes loading I receive a modal dialog box that says "the page at http://docs.google.com says: a". Actually, this consistently only happens the first time I load the page. On subsequent reloads it may or may not display.

On a non-portable installation of Firefox 3, I do not receive this.

Any ideas?

Sync Firefox Portable and Google Gears to Mac and use PC at work without Internet access...

Submitted by rnwjr on June 24, 2008 - 11:40am

I am curious how to successfully sync my Firefox Portable with Google Gears (Use Google Docs) to a Mac so that I can use it on a MCT in my patrol car which does not have internet access... I love Google Docs and was hoping there was a way to make this process seemless. I would also like to be able to Sync my Firefox Portable to a Windows XP machine at the station along with the Mac at home...

Is this possible or am I asking too much!

Thanks in advance for the great program!!!

Firefox profile auto-copy

I just finished reading a post on CyberNet ( http://cybernetnews.com/2008/06/23/portable-firefox-3-for-mac-os-x/ ) that highlighted a portable version of Firefox (to be used with Mac OS) that automatically copied an existing local Firefox profile into the fresh Firefox Portable 'installation.' While this is obviously possible to be done manually (if desired), adding an option to do this automatically could be a nice little addition!

hangups, pauses etc

I have been using portable firfox for ages and it works ok only thing is that occasionally it tends to hang-up/pause for a few secs then continue. Firfox itself never does this. still happens with FF3 what to do . is it a bug or something else

it happens on any computer dial-up or broadband no matter what it does it.

what could be the prob.
