Firefox Portable

Google search fails to work on Fx 2.0.0.2

Submitted by felipe1982 on March 14, 2007 - 4:44pm

After hitting Ctrl + K and running a search, and pressing enter, nothing happens! I have tried saving my bookmarks, erasing the entire firefoxportable directory, and reinstalling, but it doesn't solve the problem. I would really like the Google search back. I do a lot of research online.

Please help. I can provide any information necessary.

Firefox Tree Structure

Submitted by Riyonuk on March 14, 2007 - 12:10pm

I guess thats what you call it, I would like to know why it is how it is. I mean there are many of the same folders, such as

F:\FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\plugins
F:\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\plugins
F:\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins

Why is it like this? Were they made that way incase there are multiple profiles? I couldnt see there being more than one profile on a portable firefox.

Cannot watch clips on youtube

Submitted by sarahgellar33 on March 14, 2007 - 9:53am

Hello,
I am using portable firefox now. However, when I go to youtube and try to watch some clips, it always shows that "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player."

I have downloaded and installed the latest flash player but it still doesn't work. I have no problem watching clips with IE on my computer. Can anyone suggest me how to correct this problem? Cheers.

Importing favorites from Internet Explorer

Submitted by hansof on March 13, 2007 - 7:38am

The problem is that at installing Firefox, my favorites etc. from Internet Explorer are not imported.

The reason may be that at first, I installed Firefox on my harddisk, just to try it. Then, the favorites were installed. Then I removed Firefox from my harddisk, and later installed Firefox on my USB stick. The favorites were not installed. Neither were they installed after removing Firefox and reinstalling the program on my USB stick.

Is there any method to import the favorites after having installed Firefox?

Submitted by aksharatg on March 13, 2007 - 1:54am

Hi,
I am using portable firefox version 2.0. I have installed many extensions and themes. I also have cached passwords and browsing history.
How can I update to portable firefox 2.0.0.2 without losing any of my extensions, themes, bookmarks, cached passwords.
Is it safe to use automatic updates?
Is MozBackup (http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/) is compatible with the portable firefox?
Please help me guys....

Warm Regards,
