Firefox Portable

Hi All,

I developed an application that uses Portable Firefox browser, and works very well with it. However, I have one problem for now. When I click on a link (hyperlink with extrnal URL) within the content are of my application, the link opens up another instance of Portable Firefox browser window for display.

Since this link is an external URL, how can I have Portable Firefox it up with user's default browser, such as IE?

Can Portable Firefox connect to a URL (external to my application), and open the URL with user's default browser (connection and proxy settings), even in a firewall environment?

Hi,

how to make PortableFirefox not saving any temporary files or some other stuff on host operating system?

And is there any working method to make PortableFirefox running completely in read-only mode? Perhaps except bookmark-manager

I want to make sure not leaving any traces in operating system i ***used*** to start PortableFirefox.

***) Is PortableFirefox linked statically?
Really running stand-alone?

Tips and tricks are appreciated.

I'm having a bit of difficulty changing the splash for port firefox. I opened up the .nsi in HM NSI Editor, but have not a farking clue what to do. Plus, whenever I try to compile the .nsi, I get an error.

Invalid command: FindProcDLL::FindProc
Error in script "G:\PortableFirefox\PortableFirefoxCode\Copy of PortableFirefox.nsi" on line 187 -- aborting creation process

Any ideas? I just need to know how to change the splash, and what this error means.

It happens with the new version of the Portable Firefox. I think it doesn't manage to change the relative path or something like that. That's the error shown in Quicknote Tab:

// #5 File e:\PortableApps\Data\PortableFirefox\profile\chrome\quicknote1.txt is invalid or does not exist.

I am in a situation where I need to develop some client side magical forms with JavaScript. Everything I come up with works with IE but not with PFF. Can you direct me to a reference area for such development?

I would appreciate any help I can get.

I was wondering.... PFF is the zipped official Firefox+the "Portable Launcher" program, isnt'it?

So... can I just delete the "Firefox (portable)\firefox" content and replace it with the 1.5.0.1 binaries? Will I loose any data / break the compatibility?

Thanks!

I see that Skype have released a toolbar for firefox (and also IE) that allows you to place skype calls from with firefox:

I was wondering if anyone knew whether this could be made to work with Portable firefox (if so how) and thus whether it makes for an easy way to create a portable skype...

This is day two of my Portable Firefox experience, and I have to say it is excellent. I can now have a consistant Firefox environment at work and at home.

The only thing I cannot get to work for me is Spellbound. It installs, and so does the dictionary. It just isn't in the right click menu.

I'm on Windows in both environs, and that is just the nature of the work I do. Not a choice. So I do not know if it is alright on Linux or Mac.

Other than that Portable Firefox has not given me a single problem. From install to useage, it has been a breeze.

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance provided,

I am running 1.5.0.1 on a usb drive. I find it VERY slow when opening new tabs, there can often be a 30sec gap in time. It it espically slow with image laden pages. I was using deerpark before this and do not remember this problem.
Any suggestions?
