Firefox portable lags

Submitted by marcusmpe on August 22, 2007 - 10:58am

When performing various actions using Firefox Portable, the program lags behind the actions. For example, when typing into a form, it will occasionally hang and not display any further text entered, and then about 1-2 seconds later, show all the text entered instantly. This behavior also occurs when scrolling through a page, it will hang, and then instantly move to where you've scrolled to. Other examples are:
Cursor not changing when hovering over a link or text
Outline of navigation buttons (back, home, etc) not appearing when hovering

Submitted by hart022 on August 21, 2007 - 7:19pm

So i try to go to the c:\documents and settings\[user name]\application data\folder at school. however i cant access the application data folder at school. i am positive that there is a folder called mozilla that i have no way to delete. because of that folder i cancels out my settings in Portable Firefox. It tries to write to to the folder that doesn't exist.the error console says
var itemLocation = s.e.location.getItemLocation(e.id)has no properties. if there is a batch file,patch or something like that, i need to know asap.:(

FIREFOX and THUNDERBIRD opens a "brand new" instance after click on a link or an email

Hi, experts. I will try to write my best English to make me understandable Smile

Well. It's absolutely irrelevant if PortableApps is running or not. If I fill an URL in Start > Run (windows xp) and press ENTER, a second instance of Firefox runs, other one of the program I have installed in my pen drive. The program that opens are in English, with other bookmarks, other plug ins, completely different of the Firefox in Portuguese I have installed in PortableApps.

Firefox Portable and Tor button

Submitted by RoninV on August 20, 2007 - 3:50pm

Using FFP from with a company network....

Keep having proxy issue when attempting to enable TorButton. After triggering FFP (v2.0.0.6), and getting on the web successfully, the attempt to enable Tor results in the familiar "The proxy server is refusing connections..." window. This proxy issue doesn't appear when using OperaTor from same location. Any success stories out there with this situation?

Bug - Paths are not relative in many FFP files...

Submitted by eternicode on August 19, 2007 - 12:37am

Hi,

I've been playing around with my new FFP installation, and I noticed that there are a few files that use absolute paths, using the drive's letter to locate the resource. I see this as an issue, since this program is supposed to work independent of drive letter. Problematic files I've found so far:

FireFoxPortable\Data\profile\extensions.ini
FireFoxPortable\Data\profile\compatibility.ini
FireFoxPortable\Data\settings\FireFoxPortableSettings.ini
FireFoxPortable\DefaultData\profile\extensions.ini
FireFoxPortable\DefaultData\profile\compatibility.ini

missing modules in firefox

Submitted by hart022 on August 18, 2007 - 6:31pm

when i am using firefox on my home pc, all my settings work. when I use another pc however, it goes back to it's original state;with none of my settings or extensions(except they appear in the add-ons menu). the files work too. so i used an application called dependency walker to diagnose this. what i found was 4 problematic files all of which are .dll files.these files are:DWMAPI.DLL,EFSADU.DLL,SHLWAPI.DLL and MPR.DLL.the error messages i get with them are:
Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found;And:
