Firefox Portable

PFF 3 is crashing all the time {solved}

Submitted by atreiju on June 19, 2008 - 2:41pm

Hi,
I got a problem, that since 3.0Beta2, my portable Firefox is crashing all the time. Mostly when > 5 Tabs are open and loading. PFF3 final doesn't change anything.

I'm using about 20 Addons, some of them with compatibility override. I guess that is the problem.

My question: how can i find the add-ons that cause this problem? Is there a log-file i can consult? Or do analyzing-tools exist?
(Sure, disable one after another is one way, but perhaps there is an easier/faster solution?)

Thanks!

No pages will open on Vista

Submitted by JOnF on June 19, 2008 - 12:27pm

Running from a reformatted cruzer micro U3 drive, on Vista Ultimate with UAC disabled, Windows firewall, Avast! antivirus. Firefox opens OK, but with an untitled tab. Clicking a bookmark or entering a URL results in exactly zero activity. FWIW FileZilla Portable opens and can resolve host names to IPs but can't contact any hosts. Both programs work fine on an XP machine. Disabling Windows firewall and/or the antivirus has no effect.

I presume it's some setting on my system, maybe having to do with running from flash drives, but what?

Cannot open Firefox on PortableApps, but can on U3

The work computer that I use has quite strict security protocols. When I try to run Firefox (whether locally installed, or using the portable version on my USB stick) it tells me "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this computer". This is on an XP machine btw.

Anyway, the strange thing is how these restrictions don't apply when I run Firefox from my U3 LaunchPad (or any other U3 application for that matter).

Flash not working at a certain site

Submitted by Samie25 on June 19, 2008 - 3:37am

Got the latest version of flash, and it's working pretty much every site I go to. But, at this site:

http://www.neave.com/imagination/

It's telling me that I need the latest version installed. Some of the other links on neave site work perfectly fine, but the imagination one, and a few others don't.

Don't know if this is the sites fault or Firefox Portables. But in my system install of Firefox 3, the above link is working. Internet Explorer, and Opera also display the site fine.

"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.

Craig

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
