Firefox Portable

Google has just released a Firefox extension that "continuously synchronizes your browser settings". Basically it will store the settings you choose in your Google account — which are then loaded each time the browser is launched. I just installed it on my laptop and in PortableFirefox. It does require that you have a GoogleMail (G-mail) account but gives you the option to set one up. The settings are stored in your Gmail account. It works better than any other synching options I have seen.

Get it at http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/

"Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers.

I have the proxy settings correct (borrowed from internet explorer installed on the PC) and pages 'load'. However, I need to login using a username and password for each file that loads, whereas with IE and Mozilla (which are installed on the PCs) I only need to login once per browser instance.
Is there any way I can fix this problem?

Hai,

Can anybody tell me how to configure Flashgot to work with portable Flashget?

Thanks

I read the FAQ and it said it was OK to let FF auto update.. I have been getting a message to update to release DOT 04. But isn't that upgrade intended for non-portable versions only and I have to wait for the portable version?

thanks,

Hello guys,

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I have PFF in a shared folder, I also have two user accounts mine and my wifes, she connects to my pc via RDP and logs in with her user account.

I would like her to use the same PFF which is in the shared folder. The problem is the thie little chestnut 'parent.lock'. If I am browsing and she connects and wants to browse I keep gettig 'firefox is already running' etc.

I have tried 'AllowMultipleInstances' in the .ini file but this does not allow her to run it aswell as myself.

not only auto apdate does not work but when I check for update manually , firefox doesn't find 1.50.4 .
any ideas, someone, please ?

It didn't happen at first... but recently as I am using FF it will hang/freeze for time frames from 5-25 seconds at a time randomely. I can be doing anything and it will just hang/freeze and then come back and be fine. If I am putting in a password and it stalls and I continue entering digits, it will just spurt out all the password when it comes back.

Strange and annoying. Today I upgraded to the newest version of FF and it appears to still have a problem.

Every so often I get a file is corrupted message again regarding a particular file or two in my Portable FF folder on my USB driv

I just updated PFF to 1.5.0.4. Simple download, restart and check for compatability of extensions. (most extensions that are comp with 1.5.0.3 are tagged 1.5.*)

If you version does not notify you right away then you can go to Help and Check for Updates.

It works just fine.

Please don't ask John to release a PFF 1.5.0.4 today. I'm sure that is very annoying.

If I use my U3 with portable firefox on my work laptop, will there be any stray .JPG' s or other surfing information on the company laptop?

I go to banking sites and have a family site that I do not want to have any info that could be found on my laptop when traveling.

Kinda new to the portable thing, just ordered the U3 but I also know I could just use a Thumb drive but the price for a 2 gig U3 was pretty good
Thanks in advance for the info

hello everybody!

as a great fan of toe portable fox i'm using it very often. but i've got a problem with the settings - there are some errors i couldn't fix, and websearch only show me the way to this site

my problem:
the browser-settings weren't saved.

i use PFF on an usb-stick, on computers with various BS (win2000, winNT, winXP ...). but every time i plug my usb-device on a different computer, all settings i've made are gone.

means: the toolbar looks like "default", my theme is away, different toolbars are shown which i didn't want to, browser-preferences are "default" and so on.
