"Warn me when closing multtiple tabs" not working in Fireffox 3

Submitted by cwerner on June 18, 2008 - 2:20pm

Greetings to the forum.

Unfortunately, I can't get the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" option to work in Firefox 3.0. I opened two tabs for testing and tried both start options of "show my home page" and "show my windows and tabs from last time" with the same result: closing Firefvox does not produce a warning that I am closing multiple tabs. Can someone please help?

Thank you.

Hello,

Some plugins have files that are installed to the "components" folder (I first install plugins on the desktop non-portable FF, and then copy them to portable FF), for example:

* Flash has flashplayer.xpt file
* QuickTime has nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt file
* Windows Genuine Advantage has nsILegitCheckPlugin.xpt files
* RealPlayer has nppl3260.xpt and nsJSRealPlayerPlugin.xpt files

PFF 3.0 crashes always upon starting on encrypted volume..

Hi,

I installed it onto my USB drive V: with "disable store tabs etc." equal yes. I installed into exact same folder as V2 (yes, I have several backups). Now thing is, drive V: is a Trucrypt encrypted mounted volume inside of drive F:(my USB stick). So ten I tried installing onto non-encrypted volume F:(USB stick) and PFF comes up ok. So maybe it has something to do with running on an encrypted drive? V2 runs on encrypted drive V: just fine..

del.icio.us problems?

Anyone else having problems with the new del.icio.us plug-in for FF3? It worked fine on the PC that I installed FF3 Portable, but on another PC del.icio.us isn't loaded with portable FF.

Is the problem that the del.icio.us plug-in is not compatible with the portable version of Firefox 3?

Thx,

I have download the last version (3.0).
It is working OK, but I think that I made a mistake before, and the Firefox is trying to update automatically to version 2.0.0.14.

How can I dissable this issue?

I am working with Protable APP in a USB flash drive, and my PC is running Windows XP.

Thank you for the help.

Rename firefox.exe

Submitted by hanneshoch3 on June 18, 2008 - 8:24am

Hi!
I have a little problem: We have a computer room in our school and we often use it. But I can't use Firefox because a special software recognizes the process "firefox.exe" and kills it. So I want to rename "firefox.exe" to "fire.exe". It works, but i can' open Firefox from the menu. The PC prints that he wasn't able to find "firefox.exe". So I made a shortcut named "firefox.exe". But it still printed the same.
So I used Linux to remove the *.ink at the end. It was: firefox.exe.Ink and I made it to "firefox.exe". But it seems that he couldn't use the shortcut anymore.

Firefox 3 Portable incredibly slow!!!

Submitted by gesandter on June 18, 2008 - 7:29am

Hello,

I just installed Firefox 3 Portable on my USB flash drive (Treckstor USB 2.0, 8 GB) and it is incredibly slow. With Firefox 2 I could almost work normally with the browser as if it were installed, but Firefox 3 is a snail!

It takes up to a minute or more just to launch the application. And from typing an URL to actually seeing the page it lasts about 45 seconds! Are you kidding me? The drive's LED is constantly flashing while browsing, and everytime you click something on a webpage the browser freezes for a short time!
