Firefox Portable

Toolbars

Submitted by TwinDude on July 13, 2007 - 9:29pm

I have Firefox 2.0.4 installed on my flash drive. I also have the Google tool bar installed. I have two add-ons: the Google notebook add-on and "Split Browser". Split Browser allows you to split window panes in Firefox.

I have installed everything ok, and the signons.txt is there, but when I open the password manager, there are no passwords! The original file was signon2.txt and didn't show passwords, so I renamed it sigons.txt and still nothing. Can someone tell me how to fix this, please??

Firefox Portable not starting

Submitted by kawayanan on July 12, 2007 - 9:19am

I have used Firefox Portable for a while (on a usb drive and in a truecrypt volume. Suddenly a few days ago, they stopped working. When I try to start them, nothing happens (no splash screen, nothing comes up). No error messages come up. If I look at task manager however, Firefox Portable is there and taking all the cpu it can (usually 98 or 99%). If I wait, nothing happens (its not just slow starting). I have to kill it or it just goes on forever. This is on WinXP, with all updates (who knows, the updates may have killed it - I can't think of any other changes).

Transer Old FireFoxPortable Settings to New FireFoxPortable

Because I didn't use it as much as thought I would, I decided to remove the Portable Apps Suite "container" from my USB drive and simply keep the portable programs I use the most.

Therefore, I pulled my entire "FireFoxPortable" folder to the desktop, removed the Portable Apps Suite by formatting my USB drive, and promptly dragged the FireFoxPortable folder back to my USB drive.

I thought that, since it's the exact same folder I have been using for months, that my profile, bookmarks, extensions, Greasemonkey scripts, etc. would all work the same as before.

Is it OK to install extensions and still keep Firefox portable?

Is it OK to install extensions and still keep Firefox portable?

I checked the FAQ but it didn't answer my question. My family does not want any exe file changing the registry so I installed Firefox portable on the USB drive and it works really well thank you! But I want to install a few extensions from mozilla's add-on list too, would that keep Firefox portable?
