Firefox Portable

FF Auto downloaded

Submitted by DADSGETNDOWN on June 14, 2008 - 5:19am

Hello, I am using FF portable 2.0.0.12.
I was cruising the web and just as I finished it said that updates,
were downloaded, I didn't want to let it install, so I told it no or later, I clicked an X if it was available I can't remember that.
BUT, after that it said it would install the next time FF was
started.
How can I delete the file/S that were downloaded so i can do it
myself ?...before I start FF.

I also checked my settings before I shut down, and it was not
suppose to download, it was only suppse to "ask me" what to do.

I don't and never have had a "Local" copy of FF.

A few beginner Quistions

Hey there

2 beginner quistions

1:

I have Firefox 2.0.0.14 on my PC as default browser.

Will that conflict with the portable versions of Firefox?

Or - should I use Internet Explorer instead as default?

... well I hornestly prefer Firefox ...

- but will awoid conflicts and so on, if there is such ????? -

2:
Is there Danish language pack for older versions of Firefox Portable?

If I want to try the oldest or someone else, who not are 2.0.0.14 or the latest 3 beta

Good Friday from Curious

Hmmm - Can´t find the files for "dictionaries" ...

Good evening
Hmmmmm, I can´t find those files to replace the "en-us.alf" & "en-us.dic" file
- who I found easy on the portable edition.

Like written:
****

1. Install Firefox Portable to your portable device as outlined on the support page
2. Delete all the files within the FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\ directory
3. Copy your local Firefox files to that same directory (you can usually find them in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ ).
4. Use Firefox Portable as normal

Portable Firefox 3 RC2 Performance Issues

Submitted by mbe on June 11, 2008 - 11:43am

To echo other commenters, I find FF3 RC2 much slower than FF2. I have a pretty fast USB flash drive, based on what I've read. It's the Patriot Xporter XT. FF2 (2.0.0.14) runs lickety-split. FF3 RC2 runs like a dog through molasses. Disk caching is turned off. Pipelining turned on. No saving of passwords. Fewer add-ons than I have on FF2.

I have not turned off remembering history and form fields. How much resources and disk accesses do those consume?

? Is it possible to get "old" versions of Firefox Portable 3 ?

Submitted by Rudolph on June 11, 2008 - 7:15am

Well - The latest 3 work fine !

"only" a few of my favorite add-ons do not.

One goes to 3.0b1 and one to 3.0b5 (stop with the new version)

Is it possible to get earlier models of 3?

Right: It is a small "problem".
But I like to test if they work, like it is written.

Otherwise I just will live without them ...

Can Firefox Portable "speak" Swedish ?

Submitted by Rudolph on June 10, 2008 - 11:41am

Hej - Can Firefox Portable "speak" Swedish?
(Or Polish or whatever ...)
As far as I can see there is 4 official languages, but it seams that you can install some from the language pack:

I tried to download Swedish, but could not get to work.

Maybe I placed it in a wrong folder?

So can it be doned?

Or is it impossible???
