Firefox Portable

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is any way to disable Portable Firefox from checking to see if regular Firefox is running so that both may be run at the same time?

Thanks,

I read that John says that for some cards that ture. I was looking at getting a new usb (nothing slower than a 20X speed), but if flash is better, should i get fast flash SD card and reader instead?

I was looking at getting the Transcend JetFlash 110 2GB Flash Drive, which Tomshardward has recomended, and speed test suggest this too. But i've done a bit of searching and found that a 2gb SD + Reader is acutally chapaper. I'm no worried about price, rather performance and portability.

Whats everyones thoughts?

John,

I know that TMP Session saver and extensions like that slow down PFF and PTB.

Do you or anybody else have a list that are not to say incompatible, but just not as USB/Flash friendly?

Can you suggest a way to improve mouse performance in pff? I'm operating pff from a portable USB 2.0 hard drive (seagate 6G pocket drive). The mouse is jerky while web pages actively load but smooths out when completely loaded. I've also noticed occasional lags while typing. Otherwise, pff is working brilliantly. I'm assuming this a data transfer issue. Is this to be expected or can improvements be made? kjp

I need PFF 1.5.0.2 with old directory structure. I made the stupid mistake of auto-updating Fx with extensions pending (downloaded but installed with a restart)
I copied my profile and userprofile folders to the new 1.5.0.3, but only a few extensions show, and they will not install.
I can then copy my profile stuff to the old dir structure and autoupdate to 1.5.0.3.

Hi Folks!

First post so be gentle!!!

I'm attempting to embed PFF into a WinPE build. I've downloaded the 1.5.0.3 release and extracted it into my WinPE image.

I boot my WinPE system, xcopy the extracted folders into a ram disk and run portablefirefox.exe from there. I do this 'cos I assume some folders need to be writable.

However, nothing happens - no firefox splash page, zilch.

Is there anything I need to add to the PFF install (e.g. DLL's etc.) to get this to work ?

Thanks in advance

Please consider making upgrade help text a little more clearer about exactly where to place profile settings if the folder location is changing. I took me about 20 minutes to figure out why my upgrade didn't take and where to put all of the necessary files after about 3 re-reads of the instructions to see the new folder scheme.

Thanks! 8)

Today I put the last version of portable Firefox in my usb key. Everything went ok (including the install of extensions and language packs) except one thing: every attempt to import (from file) my bookmarks ended by blocking the app, so I need to kill the process. This problem did not exist in 1.5.0.1
Any idea? Thanks.

I've just upgraded to PFF 1.5.0.2 and when I start it up, new directories are being created in the 'PortableFirefox' directory on my usb key. They look like the directories under my personal Documents and Settings directory on my computer (ie, Desktop, Favorites, Cookies, etc.). Its causing a problem because I download everything to my computer's Desktop and everything is being downloaded to the Desktop directory on my usb key.

The readme file says, "The AppDataDirectory and UserProfileDirectory are used instead of the local User and Application Data directories contained in Documents and Settings.

The suggested method of updating bookmarks (https://portableapps.com/support/portable_firefox#upgrading) by coping your old profile folder over the new profile folder after switching from 1.5.0.1 to 1.5.02 didn't work for me. My old bookmarks never appeared. Anyone else have any luck?
