Firefox Portable

FireFox Regular compared to Portable

Submitted by deadpoeticstar on February 28, 2008 - 11:52am

Part 1: is it possible to run FF downloaded from mozilla on portable apps without having to use FF portable? cause i had an issue with FF portable crashing and i posted it as a bug on the bugzilla forums but i didnt have a talkback ID to let them investigate it from. (i was somewhat successful in doing this the only problem was i lost the settings each time i came back since i primarily use portable at school)

Part 2: So this is why i am asking it cause when you download and install FF portable it doesnt ask if you want to install the TalkBack extension.

Portable Firefox + OpenDNS?

okay, Here seems as good a place as any to ask. for those familiar with openDNS Cool, for those not, head to www.opendns.com Short version ,it's a free DNS server, that tends to be quicker than those used by most ISP's and gives you control of your DNS features (content blocking, shortcuts, etc.)

personally I'm a huge fan of OpenDNs, and on their forums even several users have requested some sort of Firefox plug in, but it hasn't happened yet.

Pause, surfing, pause, surfing

I use firefox portable. It was running smooth for a month. One day it goes weird and annoys me. I was surfing and firefox pause for top 5 seconds then start surfing for 20 seconds. It came back pause again for top 5 seconds. It keep redoing and I look for answer to solve this problem. My firefox is 2.0.0.12. My add-on is Ad-block Plus, DOM inspector, Google Notebook, and Switch Proxy Tool. My usb drive is PNY 1GB. It's same happened at my home and my job too. IE has nothing like this but I prefer firefox over IE. Thanks!

Profile disappeared?

For some reason when i started up one of my two firefox portable installs everything was screwed up.
All it contains is a standard install with JTH's Firefox-IE drop in profile, adblock plus + IETab and flash plugin, and has worked fine before plenty of times.

Its not really a problem, it was fairly blank and i can easily remake it but i cant figure out what happened, if its suddenly gone unportable and left traces behind or something.

Heres a shot (note this usually looks identical to IE6)

External Apps in Firefox Portable

Submitted by drsamraza on February 22, 2008 - 6:10am

Hello!
This may seem like a stupid question but I am a New User of Portable Apps, Please pardon my stupidity.

I have Portable Fire Fox on one of the removable hard drives. II have Web Developer Extension installed and when I tried to configure it to open Source in Ted Notepad, which is present in \PortableFireFox\Programs\Ted, it opens it if the path is absolute, otherwise it does not find it. If I change the directory of PortableFirefox, it looses the local path and shows an error

Can someone help? please
