Firefox Portable

Although I very much like portable, it is too slow for me. I have tried all the speed up tricks and still not happy. How do I move my highly customized portable settings from portable to local? I work daily on a home and office PC, so once I do this is there an add on that will allow me to sync all settings, or just bookmarks. Thank you. Jeff Ruday.

I've got problems with Firefox portable plugins on computers without shockwave, quicktime etc. installed, because the plugins doesn't work. I solved only the problem with flash plugin - I copied file NPSWF32.dll, which has about 2MB, from opera plugins directory to my firefox, and now the Flash works also on computers without flash installed. But I can't solve the problem with other plugins. Any idea?

Hello,

I'm trying to retreive an ISimpleDOMNode pointer from elements in the Firefox page,
but i've got the following error message (0x80040155 : Interface not registered).
I need it in order to pase the page using accessibility.

It does work with the normal version of Firefox.

Does anybody got an idea on that ?

Thanks

I have FF on my PC that i use often, but i'd like to copy those, to my portable version.

Thanks in advance

I have two devices. On one, I moved the existing firefox directory to FirefoxPortable.dec under the PortableApps. I added the new Firefox instance.

from my laptop, I was able to login, set preferences, install add-ons to the portable hard-drive.

Accessing the drive, via a permissions restricted Customer Site PC (Windows 2000), there was a message indicating that the security component would not initialize. Tracking down the error message indicated that it was trying to open profiles from under the C:\Document and Settings.

Hi. a quicky about the text search function in firefox: when i type ctrl+F i get a fully featured search bar with highlight, previous, next option etc. If i just start typing the text i want to search, i dont get those option. annoying (it wasnt like this in firefox version prior to 2.0.0.2 i think).

anyways to get the fully featured search bar option by just "search as i type"?

Thanks

Hello everybody.

I've got the problem that it seems not possible for me to start PortableFirefoxLive from a cd-r using autostart.

I'd like to have Firefox starting on putting the cd-r into a drive. So I got the edited firefox.ini to run Firefox from a cd-r, copied the whole stuff to the root of the cd-r and used the following string in the autostart.inf:

[autorun]
open=FirefoxPortable.exe
icon=sicon.ico

So, if I put the cd-r in any computer nothing happens, only the dataexplorer pops up and shows me the content of the cd-r ... that's it.

...at all. Neither will ThunderbirdPortable.

The splash screen appears. Then nothing. The app vanishes from the process list. Ditto for 7Zip. Notepad++ did throw an exception on the first try, but will start now.

FileZilla, Eraser and SumatraPDF work fine.

I'm using A SanDisk Cruzer micro 4GB USB stick.

Can this be a performance issue? At home I have an old 1,3GHz Celeron system with 768MB RAM with XP Professional (with USB 2, though). At the office computer the apps worked.
