Firefox Portable

Firefox and Wine

Hello

I sew on Compatibility page that there is a problem with XUL-Based apps (Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Nvu) with fonts. There is a solution to this problem, and it doesn't affect theses applications on Windows or Themes.

Open PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\Profile\chrome\ . If there isn't file nammed userChrome.css, create a copy of the file UserChrome-Exemple.css and rename it UserChrome.css. Open it with a notepad and add at the end of file theses lines :

* {
font-family: "Tahoma", "Sans";
}

Remove Firefox in favor of Firefox Portable?

Submitted by cyberguest on June 7, 2008 - 9:36pm

I'm a long time Firefox user and I'm thinking of uninstalling Firefox and replacing it with Firefox Portable. The main draw of Firefox Portable is that it requires no installation which is a big plus for me since I've had some issues with Firefox's modification of my registry settings in the past. So, should I go ahead and remove Firefox in favor of Firefox Portable? Or is there some features that Firefox have that the portable version don't? Thanks.

FF3 RC2 Crashing several times a day

Submitted by EwanG on June 7, 2008 - 8:44pm

It seems like RC2 has just been one fun discovery after another for me...

In any event, the last few days it has been crashing several times a day - usually when I am selecting a filter or other javascript on a page, but occasionally just when I am on one page and go to my bookmarks to move to another page. Just me being lucky?

My addons (in case that's the problem) are AdBlockPlus, StumbleUpon and FoxyProxy. All of which were updated and supposedly are FF3 compatible.

Appreciate any help. I am submitting the crash reports, but figured I'd check here just in case.

Firefox 3 Memory

Submitted by pecksnif on June 6, 2008 - 8:10pm

This comment was just posted on my blog, and is identical to my own experience using both Firefox 3 and Portable 3

"I had the beta version and it eliminated the memory issues on all versions but then it did its upgrade to the current version and the memory problem came back. I had to delete version 2 and reinstall fresh. Not sure why, but now my version 3 still has the memory issue even after reinstalling it."
