Firefox Portable

Disabled Menus

Submitted by Mannowhere on October 17, 2006 - 10:58am

I've not been able to figure out a pattern yet, but the menus in FFP1.5.0.7 are frequently getting disabled and I can't seem to get them back without restarting. Any ideas how I can track this down?

Something strange is happening if FFP

Submitted by rius09 on October 17, 2006 - 10:26am

Well before my iPod shuffle died (like two minutes ago) I was using Firefox Portable on it and I noticed something strange. When I was viewing both my themes and extensions the icon pictures where layering themselves when I scrolled up and down.

What I mean is that when I scrolled down the "icon" of the extension above would scroll down with making appear behind the current one I was viewing. And when I looked at it closely I noticed that I did for the one below it to. I was going to take a picture of it to show... but my shuffle died. So I almost USB flash driveless. Anyway yeah if anyone

"another instance of firefox is already running" problem

Submitted by porapps on October 17, 2006 - 3:40am

Here we go again...

After running Firefox_Portable_1.5.0.7_en-us.exe inside the folder 'D:\FP' and then running FirefoxPortable.exe inside the folder 'D:\FP\FirefoxPortable' I recieve the infamous "Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Firefox Portable." error.

Needless to say, I did a search for 'another instance' in the Forum and remain at a loss as to how to correct this.

https://portableapps.com/search/node/%22another+instance%22

Some of the forum posts are silly like "don't change the name from Portablefirefox.exe to firefox.exe". Others downright stupid "Just restart the computer, it could be a extension running?". This one is almost criminal "put the .ini file in the same folder as the PortableFirefox.exe"

FP 2.0rc2: Slow tab closing

Submitted by jmbattle on October 16, 2006 - 12:23am

Hello there,

I have been using Portable Firefox (and now Firefox Portable) as my main browser for several months, as I prefer to have everything saved in one folder.

The improvements in Firefox Portable 2.0 are terrific, however I often notice a considerable delay when closing tabs (with the middle mouse button) - occasionally as much as five seconds or so between clicking the mouse button and the tab closing.

Is this a known issue with Firefox Portable? I read one or two posts complaining about slow start-up times caused by Session Saving/Undo functionality. Yet the suggestions to change the Browser.sessionstore.enabled option appear to pre-date v2.0RC2. Furthermore, I am running the application locally, from harddisk so there should not be any slow-downs, surely?
