Firefox Portable

FIREFOX GO BYE BYE

Submitted by slide42 on September 14, 2006 - 9:19am

Hey

problem:

I stuck my usb drive into my comp at work today and when i tried to run Firefox and Thunderbird portable using pstart (then directly) the .exe file just deletes itself...

The base .exe file in the apps folder is still there but this appears to be a raw version without any portable apps gadgets (or my bookmarks/email for that matter)

Tried copyiong over the .exe files from a friends drive only to have them dissappear again! (tried this like 3 times now...)

any ideas?

note: this thread is also under the thunderbird suport forum

FirefoxPortable.exe - Win32/Nuvens.X!Trojan

Submitted by assassindk on September 14, 2006 - 3:05am

I have just started to use Firefox Poatable and it worked great the first day, but now have my workplace updated their AntiVirus program and it finds Win32/Nuvens.X!Trojan in the FirefoxPortable.exe. Have tried dowloading it remotely on my own PC and then transfer the the newly downloaded .exe-file, but the same - same virus. The AV just delete the file and make a popup that it have been removed Sad

Have tried looking the virus up on google, but no results.

Wich folder for userChrome?

Submitted by Zane on September 14, 2006 - 2:06am

I need to edit the userChrome in PFF 2.0: I searched within the directory and I get two file:

Firefox (portable)\App\DefaultData\profile\chrome\userChrome.css
Firefox (portable)\App\firefox\defaults\profile\chrome\userChrome.css

Wich one is the right one?

I tried copy the same file on both location, but I get no results (i added the .searchbar-textbox {width: 20px !important;} to resize the searchbox but it is still of the same size...)

cd for distribution : other possibility for freesoftware portable apps to go in the world of win$ users

very good work you are doing in this site Smile
sorry for the english that follows...

i found you searching for a browser to be able to distribute a cd. i posted a question in an old post and John T. Haller suggested to me to create a new threath.

i am doing a work making cds for distribution in valencia (spain) for small city councils on the area. the info is on html for it to be able to run in GNU-LINUX, mac and windows. i found this opportunity a good way to make diffusion of firefox and your version on portable is the perfect solution. but i find that your solution is thinked for a person that changes of computer and i see also other way that you may think also: about the cds that are for distribution (in different computers but several times in the same). i mean, that it would be a good idea to give the choice of no deleting the preferences, so each time the person uses the cd doesnt need to say ok to the window with the warning message.

Portable Start Page

Submitted by spartacusroosevelt on September 13, 2006 - 11:55am

I am running a copy of TiddlyWiki on my portable hard drive. I would love to have the wiki be one of the start tabs on PF. I have tried many versions of the path using a relative address, including many .. and . addresses. Is there a more straightforward way to do this? Or have I just not hit the proper path yet.

Thanks.

Quicktime Integration

Submitted by nanenj on September 12, 2006 - 7:19pm

Can you remove this? It's really annoying that quicktime tries to take over handling certain filetypes and it's impossible to get the file-types to present the usual quesition dialog asking what you want to do 'save or open'.

The use of some extensions

Submitted by chinookman on September 5, 2006 - 10:48pm

Hey folks...been using FFP for some time but just now am getting to where I want to synch my desk top w/ the thumb drive.

I tried a bookmark synch app but only the desk top would work and the thumbdrive unit would not....I do not know if there are any limitaitons on the portable one.....I also would like to synch my extensions for both browsers the desk top and thumb drive but do not have the time or the tech savvy to debug.....

Your comments and suggestions welcomed.....!

PS since I'm a newbie how did this happen...?......
