[OUTDATED: This will give you an outdated and insecure version of Flash, so this method should no longer be used. The best option is to copy the plugin from a local install at present.]

Can I get Firefox 3.0 pre on Portable + Danish language ?

Hallo Firefox USB Forum !

I tried the latest Firefox Portable 3.5, I think it is.

And liked it a lot !

Smile

Never the less:
Can I get Firefox Portable 3.0 pre?
... Because my 3 favorite add-ons do not work in 3.5 ...

Sad

(I have read that it do in the early 3)

And can I get it to "speak" Danish in the menu?

Ok, I downloaded this with the Portable Apps Suite, and its been working great.

It does this to all themes. It downloads them, then tries to install and says "Firefox could not install the file at 'https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ then the rest for the .jar file'
because: Unexpected installation error. Reveiw the Error Console log for more details. -203"

and i get this error in my error console: "e.location.getItemLocation(e.id) has no properties" in "file:///F:/PortableApps/FirefoxPortable/App/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js"

Disable Firefrox Portable

Submitted by Nat on May 30, 2008 - 12:54pm

I am looking for a way to disable Firefox Portable on some PC's without disabling the usb ports or changing admin rights. I have users that logon to PC's locally and run most apps as an administrator, unfortunately their daily routine also requires them to occasionally use a usb flash drive so disabling the usb ports are not an option. I have a few people that take that opportunity to use FF Portable from flash drives to surf the net. We use IE 7.0 with content advisor to limit the websites that they can view but with FF Portable they can go anywhere they like...

FFP refuses to open weblinks

Submitted by wadi on May 29, 2008 - 4:53pm

os: windows xp pro + sp2 - FFP 2.0.0.14, used on my pc (as default browser)

if I try to open a weblink on my desktop like

'HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.DE'

by double click I get the error message "the protocol http is not associated with any registered program" although I DID associate the weblink-type with PPC in the windows filetype list.

if I open the link via right click context menu I get a poor reduced google page with the local address

'FILE:///D:/BOUND-INSTANCES/DESKTOP/GOOGLE.URL'.

FF3 RC1 leaving files/folders behind

Submitted by Anthony A on May 29, 2008 - 11:11am

I put PFF3 RC1 on my USB drive today and gave it a try. I noticed it is leaving files behind. They are left in the folders of the local install of Firefox. Two folders are created. One called Crash Reports and the other called Extensions. They are located at

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Mozilla\Extensions

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports

I delete them and they are recreated every time I use PFF3 RC1. They were not there before running PFF3 RC1
