Using Java Portablizer with Firefox Portable

Submitted by hands on August 29, 2007 - 9:56am

There are specific instructions for use and a link to get the Java Portablizer in conjunction with OOoPortable. Now that Java can be made somewhat portable, it would be beneficial for FirefoxPortable to also use the portable version.

Is anything being done about this? I realize that Firefox currently looks for a registry entry, but it would be beneficial if this behavior could be modified.

Firefox and Thunderbird - access denied?

Submitted by ConraDarg0 on August 29, 2007 - 7:36am

Hey everyone!

I brought PortableApps to work today mainly because the Adobe Reader I have installed here cannot open anything that contains Japanese letters, which Sumatra PDF Portable was able to fix *yay* Smile

Unfortunately, something seems to be blocking Firefox Portable and Thunderbird; the fist application giving me an Access denied ("FW-1 at cid-ext-b") error while the second just eventually times out of after trying to connect to the server.

How do tabs work?

Submitted by fergus on August 28, 2007 - 7:25am

I'm confused.

I can't work out how to control the following, if indeed it can be controlled.

When clicking on a link in a web page, the new page appears either (i) in a new tab or (ii) in the existing tab, replacing the current page, which is then recoverable using BackArrow. Tools -> Options -> Tabs -> bullet "new tab", which is my setting, does not seem to guarantee (i).

I have no idea which of (i) and (ii) is going to happen in any given instance.

Is there a way of always getting behaviour (i)? (Or for that matter always getting behaviour (ii)?)

webmail notifier

Submitted by jremy on August 27, 2007 - 11:18am

Hello,

I use portables applications on an usb-disk.
I would use webmail-notifier ( a firefox extension ) for check my mail on differents mailboxes. No problem for installation, when Firefox start, webmail-notifier is also running, the problem is that when You make settings for your mailboxes, I suppose a file containing mailboxname/login/password is created but not stored on the USB-HD.
This setting must be created every time and this is not very usefull...
How to do for keep informations on the USB-HD ?

Thanks to everybody...

FF Portable - BSOD

Submitted by JPedrosa on August 27, 2007 - 9:11am

Hi,
I've been using the latest version of FF portable 2.0.06 on my laptop from work to avoid "installation permissions" issues.

but I'm having a very strange issue.

when connected to the office lan, everything works perfect.
When connected to the 3G card, after some minutes of browsing, i get a nice BSOD Smile

I've run some tests against memory to clear this item from the "faulty hardware" list in my head, the test is ok.
I've tried the same thing with IE, and the PC does not crash.

i've tested in battery mode and power cable mode.

let me know any tests i can do.

Firefox Portable multiple instances (net share)

Submitted by FH on August 25, 2007 - 10:05am

Hi,

i work every day with the same programs on different computers. So i want to copy them on a stick. Everything is well as long I use the programs on one PC. But sometimes I have to use the Firefox on two PCs. So i shared the usb device to network. But if i have already started it one computer it is locked for the other one with the error message "... an instance is already running". Of course is there a an instance running on the other pc, but can I use it anyway?

My first idea was to activate multiple instances, but this is only for one os envoirement.

Local Install Deleted

Submitted by Darkness on August 24, 2007 - 7:48am

Hi, I've been using your version of portable Firefox for some time now. Recently I upgraded PowerDVD on one of my computers, and the installation installed a copy of the google toolbar but because the portable version of firefox was open it tried to install it onto that instead. Now whenever i close portable firefox it deletes the local firefox directory. I have tried re-downloading it and using a fresh copy and I have tried it on other computers with the same results. Now i'm stuck because every computer that has admin rights on it will get it's firefox directory deleted.

Adobe Problems...

Submitted by slimanddeadly on August 23, 2007 - 12:19am

This has probably been answered before. But after using Firefox and opening some PDFs in the browser. I then close Forefox... but for some reason adobe seems to be reading from my USB and it won't let me eject my USB drive.

After I end the adobe process I can eject my drive. But otherwise my drive is completely unejectable.
