Firefox Portable

Moving from installed FF to PFF

Submitted by mb on July 7, 2006 - 11:22am

Hello, i currently have FF installed on my PC (and use PFF on usb for other PCs).
but i would like to make PFF my main/only version of FF.. however my FF is pretty heavily customised, and i dont want to re-start doing all the settings, extensions and bookmarks all over again..
the aim is to copy PFF onto a ramdisk at startup to prevent HDD seeks when browsing (and maybe copy any changes back at shutdown). Also how would i get the start menu's 'internet' link to point to this ramdisk'ed version of PFF.
so how should i go about doing this? (the ff -> pff part)

Master Certificate not found.

Submitted by AdHonores on July 6, 2006 - 5:16pm

Hello

Mozilla Master Certificate works well when Firefox is launched from "App\firefox\Firefox.exe", with the master certificate (systemSignature.jar) in the same directory as Firefox.exe, and the Issuer CA certificate loaded in the certificate store.

The Mozilla Master certificate is not working (not found?) when Firefox is launched from the PortableFirefoxe.exe file.

I've even copied systemSignature.jar file in every directories of PFF without any success either.

Can somebody help me with this?

Separate instances of port firefox

Submitted by jsimlo on July 2, 2006 - 6:50am

Hi,

is there a possibility to add some support to run portable firefox in several instances. Right now, the portable firefox searches for running instances and if there is one, it only opens a new window of the running application.

But, if the firefox crashes (and it does from time to time, do not argue :)), all the windows are gone, all the work. I used to open several instances of iexplorer to prevent such damage. One instance for work, one for occasional fun, etc.

So, is there a possibility to open multiple independent processes of the firefox with the same settings? I do not care about the history, cache, cookies. But I do care about the extensions and bookmarks.

Virus in Portable Firefox?

Submitted by rotor55 on July 2, 2006 - 6:37am

Hello,

I just found a Trojan in my PortableFirefox.exe. My Scanner (Antivir) told me that it found a trojan called: TR/Dldr.Zlob.VV.2. When I tried to download a fresh one from different mirrors, it always found the trojan in the "fresh" archive again. So I am not sure if the PortableFirefox.exe is reinfacted everytime again or there is a trojan on the mirrors???

Problem with extensions after upgrade..

Submitted by taosk8r on July 1, 2006 - 7:13pm

So, I had some problems because the default setting on firefox was set to automatically have it attempt to upgrade itself. After clicking no again and again (yeah, I know I should've turned off the setting but my net time was limited, and I had to get to work) I accidentally clicked yes which caused firefox to attempt to upgrade itself prior to every startup..

Well, that got old real quick, so I decided to attempt to follow the upgrade instructions on the site. Seemed like everything worked out OK, but when I booted into firefox (I presume there was a problem with one of the extensions I was using) it gave me a big error window which I couldn't get past..

Multipule Instances

Submitted by Fhajad on July 1, 2006 - 10:37am

I've read in the readme.txt and all that how to allow the computers Firefox and the Portable Firefox side by side, but despite setting the value to true, it always says there's another instance running.

Any idea why this isn't working?
