Firefox Portable

Using Firefox Portable as your default browser!

Submitted by xelemorf on June 1, 2007 - 4:08pm

Do you ever wondered to use your portable firefox as default engine on your machine.

I am using three firefoxes on different machines, with the same profile. Google browser sync makes the dirtywork for synchronizing them. If i have made a serious modification, i can simply copy the newest version of my portable app to the older versions of my FF.

If youare interested, read more above.

Printers stored in Firefox Portable configuration settings

Submitted by rick on June 1, 2007 - 8:01am

I was browsing my Firefox Portable configuration settings under about:config and noticed that all of the printers that I have been using are stored there. I set the print.save_print_settings boolean to false so it will not save future printer settings, but how do I delete the settings that are already there?

Refine AllowMultipleInstances support?

Hi John! Thanks for your excellent work, as always....

I have a conundrum. Right now, AllowMultipleInstances=false in FirefoxPortable.ini means two different things at once:

1. External invocations of Firefox, e.g. from a system-installed copy, will instead open new tabs/windows in Firefox Portable so long as Firefox Portable stays running;

2. If another version of Firefox, portable or not, is currently open, Mozilla Firefox Portable Edition will refuse to start.
