FFP under Win98 does not recognize FirefoxPortable.ini

Submitted by hillschmidt on February 2, 2007 - 9:03am

I have a strange problem with FFP under Win98:

I renamed the launcher to Game2Go.exe, and also the executable in App/firefox from firefox.exe to FirefoxPortable.exe. In accordance to this I changed also the FirefoxPortable.ini which sits in the same directory as Game2Go.exe (=FirefoxPortable.exe) to that:
[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
FirefoxExecutable=FirefoxPortable.exe
AdditionalParameters=
LocalHomepage=htdocs\index.html
DisableSplashScreen=false

Will a Seagate Pocket Hard Drive and it's cache help w/ lag?

Submitted by valetz on February 1, 2007 - 12:18pm

Hi,

I've tried running off of a fast thumb drive, and I am currently using an SD card in an express 34 adapter.
I still get the pause or lag from creating bookmarks.

I was wondering if anyone had used one of these Seagate pocket hard drives.

I'm wondering if the fact that it has 2MB of cache will speed things up?

TIA,

Opened Portable w/o renaming. Now Firefox won't open.

I hope someone has a suggestion for me. I opened Firefox Portable on my home computer without renaming it. Now, my regular Firefox (1.5) install won't open. It shows in Task Manager as running, but no screen appears. Is there a way I can get it to run again w/o re-installing?

firefox slow to close

Submitted by oliparcol on February 1, 2007 - 5:12am

Hi,

I use firefox portable latest version (firefox and launcher) with a high speed usb key (corsair flash voyager). When I close firefox, the exe continue to work in the background for 1-2 min and I can't remove my key. I can close it with taskmanager but I think isn't the best way to do... Someone know why firefox still working when I close it ?

Thanks,
Oliparcol

Firefox Portable not Recognized by Yahoo Mail Beta

Submitted by dennis parrott on February 1, 2007 - 12:58am

i hope i haven't just overlooked this topic someplace... if i did, mea culpa.

i have used Portable FF 1.5.0.? for a long time to access Yahoo!s mail "beta". i got a spiffy new 2gb USB stick and decided to load the new "suite" package.

i have FF 2.0.? loaded on my laptop and it works with the Yahoo! mail beta site. (and continues to do so...)

Yahoo! whines that i need mozilla 1.7 or later (...and silly me, i figure that FFP 2.0 meets that requirement...) when i use FFP from the suite off of my new USB stick.

Firefox closing

Submitted by GenericHuman on January 31, 2007 - 12:51pm

I've been runnning FirefoxPortable 1.5.0.9 comfortably for a while now up until yesterday evening.
Today, opening firefox through the firefoxportable.exe, on entering a site either manually or bookmarked firefox just closes, no warning or error report.
Installed another FirefoxPortable folder and copied the App and Data folder from the first one into the new folder, started up, had all my passwords and bookmarks and this worked fine.

Any ideas as to why the previous one started crashing?

multiple firefox portable?

Submitted by sgp on January 30, 2007 - 8:36am

I have three users on the same PC, and I would like to give each one Firefox Portable. Can one installation of Firefox Portable support 3 different users, each one with their own settings, cache, cookies? Note that multiple users could have FF portable open at the same time, since the PC is Windows XP with fast user switching enabled. Or should I instead install 3 different FF portables, one in each user's own home folder?
