Changing Names in PAM

Submitted by Patrick Patienc... on February 28, 2007 - 10:17pm

This is regarding the recent versions of Firefox Portable & Sunbird Portable released today and yesterday I believe. NORMALLY, in order tro change the name of an app in the PAM, you would just go find the program and rename it, however, for the new versions of the Mozilla Programs, I cannot...

Firefox, is listed as:

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition

Sunbird is listed as:

Mozilla Sunbird - Portable Edition

I know WHERE the name is, just I do not know how to change it, the programs are named as follows:

FirefoxPortable
Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition*

Extensions

I seem to be having a problem with my extensions. All of them say "Requires additional items. Disabled for your protection" even the ones that work. Some of them don't show up in the browser at all. Any suggestions?

How to select the HDD to run from a CD

Submitted by Billo on February 28, 2007 - 7:27pm

When I run PFF from a CD it copies itself to a HDD and runs from there.
How do I select which drive it runs from?

The problem is that when undeleteing the local C drive and using PFF to view HTML help files etc on the bootable CD, I do not want PFF to install itself onto C drive and possibly overwrite deleted files.
I want it to use either B: ramdrive or E: USB HDD.

Erasure of settings

Submitted by blackwolff on February 28, 2007 - 4:51pm

I last used my Firefox Portable (2.0) yesterday and it automatically downloaded an update then asked me if I wanted to update it then. I said no and it told me it would do this on the next operation.

I closed the program later and removed the drive. This afternoon I inserted the drive into a computer (the same one I was using previously) and Firefox came up with a completely new install. ALL of my settings, extensions, and bookmarks had been erased without a trace. No, I hadn't backed them up because I'd never had any need to do this previously.

FireFoxPortable fails to start after updates

Submitted by AJB on February 26, 2007 - 4:34am

After FireFoxportable runs the latest update and I restart Firefox protable, I am unable to get the program to start. In the Task Manager under Processes tab, "Firefoxportable.exe" run then it goes away and nothing happens. Also, under the Applications tab in Task Manager, there is a file labled "_sp" that does the same thing. I am running this on my USB flash drive. When I delete FireFox portable from the drive and reinstall the program, it will run until it updates again. Any help on this would be appriciated.

Andy
