Firefox Portable

Automatic Search for Proxy / Connection Settings

Submitted by ReneL on January 4, 2006 - 6:35am

Hello and a happy new year,

it would be great if there would be an option for Portable Firefox to automatically apply the Internet Explorer connection settings when starting Portable Firefox on a new computer.

At home I have a direct internet connection, at work I have to use a proxy configuration url.

Keep up the good work,
René

Search is no longer working

Submitted by nissensp on January 4, 2006 - 3:20am

Hi,

First, I wish all of you (and your family) the best for 2006.

Since a few days, the standard search (next to the address bar in Portable Firefox) is no longer working.
I can type a query, I can press "Return" on the keyboard, but nothing happens.
The icon of the search (by default is Google), it no longer visible. And I cannot change to another search engine.

When I rename my profile, and work with the one that came with the installation of Portable Firefox, the search works. So something is wrong with my profile.
Does this mean I have to create a new profile? Or does someone know how to fix it?

Save Image As... no longer working

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 1, 2006 - 7:15pm

Recently updated to portable 1.5, and I can no longer do a "Save Image As" The option is there, but there is no other reaction. I somehow doubt that it is because of the new version, because I believe it was working even afterwards.

Adblock was blocking certain Flash elements before, but the pictures I want to save come up fine on the screen. I can drag and drop to a folder or desktop, but otherwise, the menu option to Save Image As simply doesn't work.

Anybody run into this?

Automatic Proxy Configuration URL - on USB drive (file:// ??)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on December 29, 2005 - 4:23pm

When I want to use the Portable Firefox on my work and home, the proxy setup must differ per environment. I've tried to use a proxy.pac within the Automatic Proxy Configuration URL, but it didn't seem to work with a file URL (file://).

Has anybody else experience with these automatic proxy configuration on a USB drive using Portable Firefox??

Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

Peter Meijer

PFF software update

First thanks to all the contributed to this project you made a great mobile product.

I can't seam to get the software update to stop checking everytime a new PFF window opens. It always checks and then i have to click finish, I have taken the checks out of the auto update options but still it continues checking. I don't notice this at home on regular FF but every new window in PFF it checks. Thanks for any input.
