Firefox Portable

Left Behind

I'm using my flash at work and was wondering where the cookies and visited web page information goes. Do the portable apps really leave no trace except for the registry entry?

FFP 2.0 stoped working

Submitted by campsoup1988 on December 4, 2006 - 8:12am

FFP 2.0 was working for me. Now, it loads PortableApps' splash and that is IT! The most recent extention I installed was Fasterfox ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1269/ ) which worked fine for a day, but now it wont load.

Here is a list of my other extentions and themes. A few of them I updated since I made the list, so not all of the version numbers might not be the same.

Extensions (enabled: 47, disabled: 4):

* Batch Download 1.1.2
* BBCode Formatting Extension (Alpha) 0.0.388a1 [disabled]
* BBCodeXtra 0.2.5.6
* Bookmark Duplicate Detector 0.6.2
* Check4Change 1.6
* ConquerTell 1.1.5

Illegal operation plug in

Submitted by darylu on December 1, 2006 - 8:49am

I've had alot of computer problems recently. So, I may have to try reinstalling my XP and start all over. But, I'm trying to pick away at things and see, even if I start all over, that I at least understand where things went haywire.

My specific error on FF Portable is this error that I get when it starts "Illegal Operation Plug In". There was no other info to identify it. I went to extensions and uninstalled the only one there (Duh - I don't even know which one it was), then tryed restarting and get the same thing.

Any ideas what this is? Is it XP doing bad things or is it FF?

Windows Validation plugin not compatible with FxP

The plugin installer can't detect the browser installation directory. Or, if Firefox is already installed on the host machine, it will likely install the plugin to the regular Fx installation.

There is an alternate validation method (browser independent), so this is just a heads-up.

Windows thinks a URL leads to a local file?

Hello all.

I've been using Portable Firefox for some time now, and I've always been impressed. I'm sort of a portable apps junkie. Smile I just prefer minimalist software that does the job right without alot of hassle or garbage left behind. But lately I've had problems that have me befuddled.

Obviously I've doing something wrong. I've done something or have missed something, so I'd like to ask for help.

I had no problems with 1.5.0.7. It ran like a dream. I used DefaultMyPFF to set it to the default browser. No issues. Then I get version 2.0. It runs fine, but when I try to set it as the default browser using the same technique, I get errors. Everytime I open a webpage, not only does the page open correctly, but I get a Windows message saying that it can't find the file in question. As in "Windows cannot find, "http://portableapps.com" ". Very weird.
