Bug? Portable Firefox deletes normal Firefox AppData dir if it's a junction

Submitted by wh on April 3, 2008 - 10:18am

Hi,

I have my normal firefox installation set up with a junction in Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox pointing to a directory on another disk (So my config is seperate in case of reinstallation). Whenever I install and use FX Portable, this junction is deleted!

This happened in fx3 betas 3, 4 and 5.

There must be more ppl out there who use junctions -- has anybody else encountered this? It's pretty annoying Blum

tia,
Wouter

Hi everybody,
currently I'm trying to get a self hosted cd working.
On this CD you should be able to view HTML files and linked PDFs which are all burned on that CD.

I tried with following setup follwoing:
autorun.inf

[AutoRun]
open=FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe
action=Starte Text
icon=some.ico
label=Some nice label text

FirefoxPortable.ini which is located under FirefoxPortable right next to the FirefoxPortable.exe

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins

Error Compiling

Submitted by Takodo on March 30, 2008 - 4:35pm

Hello,

I am trying to compile portable Firefox using the .nsi script. I have not written this script but really need to get it to work.

It gets to the second last line and gives an error in the compiler.

Invalid command: newadvsplash::wait
Error in script "D:\****\FirefoxPortable.nsi" on line 510 -- aborting creation process

I believe this is to due with the splash screen. Any ideas how to begin fixing this?

Thanks In Advance!!!

Latest upgrade messed up my Mozilla

Submitted by spanousis on March 28, 2008 - 4:22pm

After the latest automatic upgrade (around March 25-26/08), I can no longer use my Firefox. The internet window opens up with a message that my computer can't communicate with my homepage (Yahoo), but it can't communicate with ANY website, no matter which one I choose. What's happening? Oh, I'm writing from my work computer right now, and that lousy update just loaded itself up and will finish doing its damage the next time I start up Firefox, which means I won't be able to use it here anymore either! HELP! What do I do to get my Firefox back?
