Is there a utitlity that would automactically sync my Portable Firefox with Firefox on my laptop? I am thinking of passwords and bookmarks.
I just started using the v1.5.0.3 of Portable Firefox. I started from scratch with this one, installing plugins from scratch etc... I have only one problem. I don't appear to have the DOM Inspector installed. How can I add this extenstion to my v1.5.0.3 Portable Firefox?
Thanks.
I've noticed that there are two different plugin directories in my PFF 1.5.0.3.
All the plugins I had installed in previous versions are found here:
G:\PortableFirefox\Data\plugins
Whereas when I installed Flash using the extension posted on the PFF page, the files went here:
G:\PortableFirefox\App\firefox\plugins
Is this okay? Do I need to harmonize these directories, move anything around...or just relax and enjoy?
P.S. I've got two searchplugins directories too, at G:\PortableFirefox\App\firefox\searchplugins and G:\PortableFirefox\Data\profile\searchplugins. Same answer th
How do I copy the passwords over to Portable Firefox from my laptop? I imported my bookmarks with no problems. I do not want to copy my entire profile over.
on my home computer i was able to get the wanted harddrive bookmarks imported into the portable app on my usb drive. when i plugged the usb drive into the office computer i used pass2go to access PFF and the splash screen did not appear but FF did. pass2go wasnt working properly so i decided to open FF directly from the usb drive. got the splash screen and pass2go was then working properly, but my usb bookmarks are gone. did the harddrive access on the office computer overwrite my bookmarks?
thanks,
Just upgraded to 1.5.0.3 and found out that the customization is not be able to be saved. I picked small icon setting on the toolbar, but it kept resetting back to big icon. Any fix?
Another issue is I found out it is ignoring PortableFirefox.ini which I created and saved in the same directory with the exe.
When accessing the German Amazon Home Page (www.amazon.de) with PortableFirefox 1.5.03 none of the gif Pictures contained in the Page are shown,with the result that it is virtually unuseable. This also applies for the british Amazon WWW.Amazon.co.uk.
When calling the US Amazon (www.amazon.com) then the home page is displayed correctly with all included gifs.
Switching AdBlock on and off has no effect on the above described behaviour. The normal FireFox (non Portable) does not display the above effects it displays the German and UK Amazon correctly. The 2 FireFox versions are identical and have identical extension installed. Operating System is Windows XP German.
Hi all,
I've upgrated my portable Firefox to 1.5.0.3.
I've copied then my orig profile from the old version
into the new version within PortableFirefox\Data\profile.
Everything works fine (bookmarks, extensions...) except
my passwords - Firefox doesn't recognize my old passwords
anymore (I've copied the whole profile including signons.txt
and key3.db).
In case to post here this topic I had to register to this forum
and Firefox saved (after asking for it) my portableapps.com-forum
password without any problem - now I can see it under
'Options->Passwords->View Saved Passwords' as the only saved password.
If this is posted elsewhere I apologize, I was unable to find a solution. Transferring my local profile into Portable Firefox has never worked. At this point I understand there may be incompatible extensions, but ambiguous terms like "except cache directory" may be confusing me. I only see an extension.cache "file." Is there some specific file to file instructions, or possibly a diagram showing the correlating directory tree between local Firefox and the portable version, i.e. some way to match a particular local folder with its replacement portable version so I can copy my working profile? I recently downloaded the U3 version and need to know how to very carefully manipulate the two profiles.
why does the Portable Firefox open a "keyword:portable firefox" link automatically after started? And then take me to
"http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&...".That is "http://portablefirefox.mozdev.org/"
