Firefox Portable

Hiccups with A-Data usb drive.

Submitted by iceberg on January 4, 2007 - 12:56pm

I am trying to make sure this issue is not something I can fix with a setting before contacting the manufacture of the drive. What happens is that during scrolling or new page loads Firefox will stall during access to the drive. There are no crashes or anything it's just a slight annoyance. It may just be the way the drive works too but I wanted to be sure before I complain to A-Data.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I had a typo up there "Firefix" I just thought it was funny and wanted to share.

FF creates file in c/...

Submitted by Teuchtlurm on January 4, 2007 - 11:12am

Hello,

I use FF 2 portable, it runs on direction d/portableapps/.... The programm creates a pluginreg.dat in c/documents/user/...*/mozilla/firefox. It creates a folder "profile" too, but there's no file in it. If I delete the folders, firefox will create the pluginreg.dat again with next start.

I don't think that's correct. Does somebody have this problem, too?

Regards,
Teuchtlurm

*anwendungsdaten, don't know the englisch name for this folder.

Firefox Portable and Google Toolbar beta

Google Toolbar beta
http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/FT3/intl/en/

I just found out that when I add new buttons to the toolbar [http://toolbar.google.com/buttons/], they won't install on the flash drive but the local hard drive instead. After I added buttons, closed the app and logged out (local settings purged), I logged back in and found out those buttons were gone.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Dual OS Portable possible?

Submitted by iceberg on December 30, 2006 - 10:59am

I was wondering if it would be possible to build a Linux static portable version that can run from the same directory as the windows version. I use both OSes and it would be nice to be able to just run it from the usb drive in bot instead of copying profiles back and forth. This would be nice for portable gaim and Thunderbird too but figured Id ask about Firefox first.

I have got a 2g firefly as a gift and transfered all my apps to it but firefox seems slow and sometimes unresponsive. So then thought by transfer was bad and did a restore off a older backup. now its really slow (not even opening). So i decided to format the drive and put a clean copy of the suite(in process of doing now). my question is does anyone else have this drive and are you getting good results with it?
