Firefox Portable

I would like to make my own custom splash screen. Can you please let me know how I can do this. Also for the other mozilla products.

thanks!

I wasn't sure if i should post this on the "running multiple instances" thread.

so apparently if both the launcher and the firefox (also thunderbird) main executable have the same file name, firefox (thunderbird) assumes another instance is running and refuses to run (if the multiple instances option is set to false).

Hi,

I am trying to create a portable FF for linux and it's pretty much done except FF looks in ~/.mozilla/firefox/* for pluginreg.dat upon start.

I remember reading this was an issue when Mr. Haller was first creating portableFF for Windows.

So, if I compile with "--with-user-appdir=.CustomDir" FF will not look in ~/.mozilla, correct?

I don't want FF creating any dirs on the HDD and right now if ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat does not exist FF creates it.

Can I compile without specifying a dir, eg:
--with-user-appdir=

Can it be loaded to Firefox portable? I tried but had no success. How about all Firefox extensions? Do they all work on the portable version?

Thanks.

I downloaded the new version of Firefox portable, but now after it opens, it won't actually connect. I get the server has timed out page. The older version worked, but I couldn't get into any secure sites. I was hoping this would fix it, but now I have nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice.

Help?

I could find a solution to make agile the starting of Firefox Portable in USB drives (in comparison with the speed that has a hard disk). Combining Fxp with 7-zip it is possible to be copied to the disc of the computer, and the changes that are made in firefox keep in the end in USB.
Doswnload this file, that explains more in detail. The file this in a very preliminary version.

I do not know if this were posted previously.

Is it possible to modify a Firefox Portable launcher or app to allow more than one to run at a time? I'm doing some web testing and would like to be able to run them side by side to make comparisons. I would also like to be able to run torpark alongside firefox, but the exe running is the same. Is this something that can be changed in the launcher, or would I need to re-compile the programs to change the exe name?
Thank You

So I have a question about the Move player plugin that is used to watch streaming video on the CW and ABC's new video sites. I can't get it to install on Portable. I have been able to get it to work on my home installation of Firefox, and I tried copying everything from the plugins folder, but it still doesn't work.
Has anyone gotten this to work on portable Firefox? If so, what do I do, and if not, can anyone help me figure out what other files AI might need to manually transfer?
Thanks!

I use Firefox 2 from this site, and I love it, it works pretty great, but...

I was wondering if there is any way i can change the core files to reference all my saved stuff from my USB, like bookmarks and passwords.
I use it at work and home but it's horribly slow and delayed from the flash drive (yes, it is usb2) so since I can keep a copy of firefox on my work comp I was hoping I could tell it to reference my settings elsewhere, then all it has to access is a few files and not the whole dang core set to run it.

I apologize in advance if this has been covered somewhere else in the forum. I am not able to copy/paste text to/from Firefox. When right-clicking, the options are listed, but are not available to select. Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
