Firefox Portable

... 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.

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"!

I would like to add the Full Screen command to my right click context menu to avoid having to reach for the F11 key, as the menu bar containing "View" is not visible when in fullscreen mode.

On previous editions of Firebird, it was located in the right click menu, but I can't remember if it was there by default or if I somehow installed it there.

Any suggestions welcome. I am running Firefox portable v2.0.0.4

TIA

Ok, I know this is a dumb question but all I want to do is burn my web site to a CD and have it open in ANY browser without displaying the "active X" warning (like on Internet explorer.)

So I did the portable firefox thing worked GREAT when running from my computer but when I put it on a CD I get the error message "It appears that you are running firefox from a read only source etc" and won't open from a CD
1) Is there a workaround for this?
2) Does anyone know ANYWAY to be able to open a web site from a CD without getting the active x warning?

I'm wondering why the Portable Apps dialog box doesn't come up when the downloads window is open because it's annoying me that it takes focus from the address bar in the same way that the google default web page does but in an even more annoying fashion will I say.

I download podcasts from the BBC website by going to the RSS feed and clicking "Save Link As...". After I recently upgraded from Portable Firefox 2.0.0.3 to 2.0.0.4, I noticed that I was no longer able to do this as the entries no longer showed up as links in the RSS feed. I downloaded fresh copies of Portable Firefox 2.0.0.3 and 2.0.0.4 and installed them on a spare USB drive, and the links worked fine in 2.0.0.3 but not in 2.0.0.4.

Yet another cache problem/enquiry.

It may not be specific to PORTABLE Firefox, but I've got my cache set to 1000MB. Many pages that I visit regularly don't seem to be taking advantage of the cache. Some sites are fine, but others constantly reload the same images etc.

With my cache set to 1GB, it's clear that I don't care how much it caches (I prefer the faster cached browsing). I've checked the cache folder several times and it's normally less than 30MB of cached data.

Has anyone been able to get Gears to work? By default, the executable will only install for standard Firefox, but this seems like a perfect addon for the portable version.

For those unfamiliar, Gears allows quick download of Google services (gmail, reader etc.) for offline reading. A natural fit, I'd say.
