When I open Portable Apps, the initial menu lists(as shortcuts)all programs except Firefox. How can I replace it's shortcut on the menu?
Hi,
I am using Firefox Portable on a CD, but firefoxportable.ini does not seems to work: I don't have the specified homepage and the splash screen is still here.
FirefoxPortable.ini and FirefoxPortable.exe are in the same folder, here is the .ini :
[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
AdditionalParameters=
LocalHomepage=index.html
DisableSplashScreen=false
DisableIntelligentStart=false
AllowMultipleInstances=false
SkipChromeFix=false
please, sorry my spell, my first language isn't english...
Well, I´ve been use portable firefox from 1.5 version.
2.0 version come with troubles.
1. I've to install the firefox browser in the PC. before, copy folder was enough to 100% run the program.
2. when I copy then paste the firefox folder to my USB drive, i can't use the firefox on another pc. first I must to install firefox in te foreing pc, then i've to copy my folder to the firefox installation folder to use MY PORTABLE VERSION with my skins, bookmarks, history, etc
I have downloaded the installer and tried to add an add-on on three different computers running three different versions of XP Pro and no matter what I do the add-ons I install wont work. They show up in the add-on window with no green (functioning) icon. Is this just happening to me??
I just want to point out that Firefox portable doesn't seem to start once I install the extension Foxmark. Many thanks.
I am at a Fed EX store using a 25 cents a minute computer. I put in the U3 and all the programs work here except Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Firefox browser. Nothing happens except this message comes up in a window with a big red circle and a white "X" and the top of the window says, "U3 Launch Pad." The message is: ""An error has occurred while trying to start the selected program" I uninstalled and re-downloaded the programs, but get the same message. Other email programs work like: "Reach-a-Mail" (a U3 program), but I want Thunderbird!
First of all, let me start out by saying that I have been browsing these forums for quite some time and have gotten a lot of useful information, so thank you folks.
Here's my issue, I am running PA off a brand new Flash Voyager 2GB (limited tech budget won't allow me to go GT). Most of the applications run fine, but FFP is pretty slow. I assume this is due to the slower small file writing speed of the Voyager (something I wish I had learned from this site before my purchase).
I am attempting everything I can to speed up FFP and minimize the accessing of the drive.
How Do I Edit The .nsi Source Code File In Firefox Portable. I'm Running Windows XP and It Keeps On Giving Me A Box Asking Me Which Program To Use To Open It. Please Help.
Hello
Thanks for the portable apps, I think they are amazing.
I have one request, though:
Ideally I would like to have my portable firefox on a USB drive with all my cookies and passwords, and accounts saved in Firefox Portable.
Obviously I shouldn't be doing this, because if the disk gets into the wrong hands, it is a major security risk.
My proposal is that Firefox Portable (or even just my firefox user profile within this) could be password protected.
