Hello,

sorry, but I'm not very good in english.

Yesterday, when I use portablefirefox on my pc, no problem.
And this morning, at office, I connect my usb key with portablefirefox and when I start portablefirefox, there isn't no more extensions and themes...
I don't modify my repertory "portablefirefox", and yesterday, in office, portablefirefox were ok with extensions and themes.

I try to install again extensions but after restart portablefirefox, the extension say: restart firefox to install extension ??!!??

I must install again portablefirefox at the begin ??

Thank you for your help !

I copied my firefox profile to portable firefox and now i cannot get any of the extensions to work when i load portable firefox on my jumpdrive. i can, however, get everything to work if i copy the whole portable firefox folder to a harddrive and run the program from there. on the umpdrive, firefox either doesn't open or opens with no extensions usable. does anyone have any suggestions or must i copy portablefirefox to and from a computer each time i use it? could it be my jumpdrive? it's only 64mb and kind of old. i don't think that should be an issue though. thanks

Mail Link

I am using a portable Hard Drive, which has both Firefox and Thunderbird on it. They are installed in their reprected folders. (/program files/Firefox & /program files/Thunderbird)

I was wondering if there is a way to link the mail icon on the portable Firefox to link to the Thunderbird e-mail software, rather than the default one of the pc I am working on.

Thanks in advance.

Java VM Installed but not working in PFF--SOLVED

Edit, 10 minutes later: Turns out that "Mozilla/Netscape" is not checked in the Java console, and I don't have permissions to change it, so it won't work for me on this computer. Oh well.

I have a working Sun Java VM on my work machine; java -version shows the following:

java version "1.5.0_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

and Java apps work in IE.

about:plugins in PFF shows 7 different Java plugins all enabled. Rather than posting all 7 grids I'll just put the names here:
