Firefox Portable

From FirefoxPortable on Windows to Firefox on Ubuntu

Submitted by giuffsalvo on September 10, 2007 - 12:23pm

Hi, I'd like to move my entire profile (not only the settings and bookmarks, but also, and expecially, the dozens of extensions I installed in PortableFirefox) on the Firefox installation that I have on Ubuntu (not portable, that is).
I tried to use the FEBE extension, but I wasn't able to select any profile to which restore the .fbu file, when it asks you for it.

Enabling Disk Caching

Submitted by edlight on September 6, 2007 - 9:18pm

What would happen if the cache was set for > 0 ? Would a cache be created in the Portable Firefox directories, wherever it was located?

I run it on my hard drive in a data partition, and various C: partitions share it. I'd like to enable the cache to speed it up.

I also keep a synchronized copy on a thumb drive.

Large Webpage Loads Cause Crashes with Multiple Tabs (Buffer Overflow?)

Submitted by neatneatneat on September 5, 2007 - 3:29am

Lately I've been experiencing bugs where I have several (2-3) tabs open, all of them are loading webpage content, and at least one of these tabs is in the process of loading a VERY large webpage (multiple MB)...and Firefox will become completely non-responsive. By non-responsive, I mean that I'm unable to switch tabs, unable to close the tabs which are taking so long to download, and even unable to exit from Firefox itself.
