Firefox Portable

@ John Reg Left with Beta 4

Submitted by Devo on March 11, 2008 - 1:54pm

After running the latest Beta with no additional extensions or add-ons installed, I found that a single registry entry is left after firefox is closed (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla\CurrentVersion). This entry is also left with 2.0.0.12 so I'm thinking it has something to do with my computer. The only way I can get rid if it is to delete the value manually. Again I hope that it is just the computer I am using, is there something I'm not doing? Any help would be appreciated.

Flash player

Submitted by PresidentDunn on March 10, 2008 - 10:05pm

How can I download flash player so that it can be used by my Firefox portable? I'm unable to view movies in firefox that need flash player, but it won't read the flash player from my local computer with flash, even though on internet explorer, I can view it just fine.
Any suggestions?

No Sound on Videos

Submitted by dbrightwell on March 10, 2008 - 8:44pm

Whenever I try the play a vidoe, such as on YouTube or a Yahoo news video, there is NO SOUND. The video plays fine. The sounds are all enabled. Just NO SOUND. I have Flash installed, but I'm not certain if it is working. It's only on my portable drive, not on the main computer.

Using Firefox Portable to open AIM uri's with Pidgin Portable

Submitted by redfive on March 10, 2008 - 8:04pm

While browsing with Firefox Portable, I would like to open AIM uri's (aim:goim?screenname=JohnDoe)using Pidgin Portable. Is it possible and how? Or is it something that would require registry edits on the machine?

Also, if this has been addressed elsewhere, please let me know what search terms you used to find the answer, as I've been racking my brain to figure it out.

Need Help with VLC Plugin

Submitted by atreiju on March 7, 2008 - 12:09pm

Does anybody know, how to (manual) install the VLC Plugin for FFP 3beta3? I use the VLC regular version (not portable) and already tried the mozilla-plugin-option during the installation.
Same problem with WMP 11 Plugin (tried this one), but DivX and the older WMP are working fine. Dont know why Smile

Thanks!

stop flash ads in FF portable

Submitted by wolf99 on March 7, 2008 - 11:13am

Hey Folks
I got a tip to stop flash ads automatically playing by adding to the userChrome.css
but their is several directories named chrome in the portable install, I think I copied it into all of them, but it still seems to of had no effect..
which one is actually used?

the addition to the userChrome.css is:

/* Block Flash, using a placeholder you can click to unblock a desired Flash animation. */
/* Doesn't work for embed tags, which are less common than object tags - bug 190970 */
object[classid$=":D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"],
