Portable Firefox and Windows Media Player

Submitted by burntout on May 1, 2006 - 9:30am

Lately, I've been having problems with WMP working on my browsers. It doesn't work both with Portable Firefox nor Internet Explorer. It doesn't play any kind of streaming media. I always get this "Please verify that the path or filename is correct" error or "The specified stream is not recognized" error. The weird thing is the WMP interface in my browsers is that of the old version of WMP.. you know the black and brown one but I have WM10 installed in my PC. WMP works perfectly on its own... I only encounter trouble with it when it comes to browsers. I'm totally clueless about this so I really need your help guys..

Need a little bit of help: PortableFirefox.ini

Submitted by Freddy801 on April 30, 2006 - 2:41pm

Can someone please explain what is expected behaviour of settings inside PortableFirefox.ini...
I know, you're gonna tell me to read te readme.txt file, but I already have read it, and I'm not certain that I got it right... So, can anyone please explain it to me... expecially the "UserProfileDirectory=Data\userprofile" setting!

I mean, when I run PortableFirefox.exe, it creates Application Data, Desktop and Favorites folders inside my Portable Firefox v1.5.0.2 folder, even though I use the .INI file with fore-mentined UserProfile setting which reffers to a existing folder.

I don't get it!! Smile I'd like to keep my PFF folder clean, you know... Wink

Cannot copy Firefox to another drive...

Submitted by twnty3svn on April 30, 2006 - 12:17am

I just setup my Portable FireFox 1.5.0.2 on my hd with all extentions and themes. I then tried to copy it to my USB, and don't know (also can't find any info on any forums) if its a known problem, but it won't load from the USB.

I need it clik on the icon a few times and delete a few processes from task manager before it will load. And when it does, some extensions and themes aren't loaded.

It works fine if I set everything up from scratch from the USB. The same problem occurs when i copy my setup PFF to another USB drive.

Can anyone tell me if its a limitation of PFF or am i doing something wrong.

It looks like you did not update the .nsi for the pluginsdirectory new location?

PluginsEnvironment:

StrCmp $PLUGINSDIRECTORY "" UserProfileEnvironment
IfFileExists "$PLUGINSDIRECTORY\*.*" "" UserProfileEnvironment
System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH", "$EXEDIR\$PLUGINSDIRECTORY").r0'

Opening File Associations

Submitted by Ronil on April 28, 2006 - 3:29pm

Hi Guys,

I had a question, with the new Portable Fire Fox, is there a way to set portably which programs will open my torrents? for example when on a site the program always asks me. I set it to never ask again but now it keeps on asking me to show it the application exe. Is there a file I can manually change to automatically select things like foxit pdf reader and utorrent for torrents?

The next questions I have, is there a file viewing extension for Firefox? this is so that I can quickly look into my folders to check the current version of file I am downloading?
