Firefox Portable

Shockwave

Submitted by rnsi on January 13, 2006 - 10:26am

I just installed pFF - great concept!

I'm having trouble with macromedia...I installed the Flash player with no problems, but I can't seem to get the Shockwave player to work. I followed the instructions at https://portableapps.com/support/portable_firefox#plugins, tried several times. I tried to install to both \PortableFirefox\firefox\plugins and \PortableFirefox\plugins, but the sample movie doesn't work at http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ . The Flash demo works, but the Shockwave player does not. In the status bar is "Connecting to download.macromedia.com". I do have a np32dsw.dll in both directories mentioned.

Upgrade to 1.5 required ?

Submitted by RossGoodman on January 13, 2006 - 8:57am

Hi

I have just re-installed portable apps after my USB key "broke" (it's the one thing I don't backup !)

This includes pFF and pTB, both of which are at 1.5
When I run both and added extensions both stated that an upgrade to 1.5 was available.

Am I missing something obvious ?
I chose no in both cases as they are already 1.5.

Is then an issue in letting pFF upgrade it's self (are the files not compressed differently or something) ?

Thanks

Ross

Portable FireFox 1.5 - Many pauses

Submitted by remilk on January 12, 2006 - 1:55pm

I had used a previous version of Portable FireFox and it worked great. For some reason, this version (1.5) continues to take many pauses, I see that it is interragating the USB drive. I have NO extensions, just the original portable version.

Any suggestions?

None of my other portable apps seem to go back an interrogate the USB drive every few seconds.

Thank you,
Bob

Extension Development

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 12, 2006 - 8:11am

I am currently trying to do extension development when I get the time and this tends to happen when I am at work where I use PFF. With Firefox 1.5 you can place a file inside the extensions folder in the format of "@" and inside that file place the directory path to the extension files. (ie: E:\projects\helloworld) and when you start up FF it loads it. However PFF doesn't seem to do this like Firefox 1.5 does? Mainly this just helps with not having to create a new xpi file and reinstall the extension every time a change is made to the extension code, you just restart FF.

right click menu options fail

Submitted by tarka on January 12, 2006 - 5:35am

Hi
I used pFF 107 and all appears fine
I upgraded to pFF 1.5 and I have found that a few right click menu options fail to do anything
right click - Open in new Window (nothing happens)
right click - Save link as (nothing happens)
right click - view image (nothing happens)

right click open in new tab works fine

PS also I have a large blank section at bottom of pFF 1.5 window about 2.5 cm and border grey - is that correct?

But Thanks for all your work, pOO and pFirefox 107 save me time
