Firefox Portable

Hi People,
I've d/l ffp directly to my thumb drive. The d/l file size shows 25KB instead of 6MB.
Upon opening the file, a DOS prompt window along with a seperate error message popup titled "16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem" with "The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction. Choose 'Close' to terminate application.".
I've an option to ignore or close the app. Choosing 'Ignore' will only see the dos prompt running randomly in the dos window.
Anyone has any comments to this situation.
BTW, its the same for Thunderbird Portable.

Hi there,

first of all I want to say how great the portable solution is.

We plan to develop a CD-ROM that will use Firefox Portable. Via autostart we launch a custom SplashScreen, where the user can choose a language for the content to be shown with FFP.

My question: is it possible to say FFP to have different homepages depending on the language the user chose? Remember, this will be a CD-ROM, so no chance to write any prefs or something...

Thank you and best regards!

I downloaded and installed Firefox Portable several moths ago, but it has since stopped working. Before I updated it, nothing would happen at all, now it just crashes after a few seconds.
I usually took the USB key out of the computer without closing the browser and it would reload the last session before it stopped working.

Me gusta mucho el Firefox Portable, ya que puedes llevarlo contigo a todos lados, incluyendo tus Marcadores!!! Gracias muchachos por esete programa!!

Si alguno de ustedes pueden dejar las ventajas que han encontrado en este programa, seria muy bueno.

I have a question with using TrueCrypt and Firefox Portable together that some people may find useful.

Question 1
----------

Hello there,
as it has been noted on https://portableapps.com/node/2118 already, bookmark updates are somewhat... well a dead turtle is slow, but taking 70 seconds to write a 350 kB bookmarks file is not just slow, it is excruciating; never been so close to punch my laptop before.

And everytime you do something in the Bookmark Manager, even if you just try to drag a folder somewhere else (but fail), you will have to wait for over a minute.

... shows the string "Firefox., Portable Edition"
(similar in the Thunderbird RC)

Could this be a fault?

Because in German a dot followed by a comma is a fault.

The old FirefoxPortable.jpg shows
"Firefox.-Portable Edition"
this was better but without the dot it will be the perfect solution!

"Firefox - Portable Edition"

If the string is a consequence of the license agreement with Mozilla and not a fault please let me know.

Regards
Marko

I have been experiencing some problems lately with Firefox portable while visiting Digg.com. I've narrowed the problem down to javascript being enabled or disabled. When it's disabled, Digg works just fine. When javascript is enabled, with all sub-options unchecked, and I click on a story, a new tab will open up, but the article that I was trying to read doesn't come up. Instead, I get the Digg "Opps, the page you are trying to find cannot be found" page. The weird thing is that in the address bar, the URL of the website that I was trying to go to is there. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi- I downloaded the ini file so I can run the program directly from a CD that works great (Thanks John) however I am trying to get it to open the web site that is on the CD and get the error message can't find file?

Here is what I am doing
In main firefox folder I put my web site folder and index.html file
2) I open firefox and tell it to make the index.html file as my "home page" click on firefox works great opens site....

3) Burn to Cd take to another PC trys to open but says "can't find the file
///C/firefox/(user name)(web site).html"

I close normally when I'm done and wait for the delayed write to happen to the USB (lites stop flashing), but ever time I start a new session the successfully updated screen POPES up! All the PC's I use have "XP" on them, mainly "XP Pro" but sometimes "XP HOME"!
