Flashblock not working with Fx 24

Submitted by PortableDave on September 19, 2013 - 2:24pm

I am finding that the Flashblock 1.5.17 (Phil Chee)extension is not working on the PortableApps version of Firefox 24. The normal local drive version of Firefox is working fine.

I have experimented with changing about:config plugins.click_to_play set to true. But there seems to be no effect.

I have tried more than one portable version in two separate computers & the result is the same.

Has anyone found anything similar?

Ignore Computer's Plugins

Submitted by Ember Quill on September 4, 2013 - 8:13pm

I occasionally use Portable Firefox on a computer that also has the normal version of Firefox installed, mostly for privacy/security reasons. The problem is that every plugin installed on the computer shows up in Portable Firefox as well. Is there a way to keep that from happening, so Portable Firefox only uses the plugins from its own plugins folder?

Multi line tooltip

Hi All,

I want to show multi line tooltips. This works fine with normal firefox, but doesn't work with portable version.
The below example shows the tooltip in two lines in normal firefox browser (and chrome/IE etc). But the protable version shows it in one line.

Can someone tell me how to show multi-line tooltips in portable firefox?

Example: (replace [ and ] with )

I've successfully installed Microsoft Silverlight 5 for Portable Firefox by installing Silverlight 5 as usual in C: and copying the contents within the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\5.1.20513.0 and paste them in FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins. Everything works fine, and plugin status check is ok http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/.

Flash Plugin (version >=11.3 NPSWF32.DLL) is freezing and not working with Firefox Portable? Here is the SOLUTION

If you have the problem, that your NPSWF32.DLL in /Data/PlugIns is not working, then you have a Flashplayer Version >= 11.3 and this versions have the "ProtectedMode" from Adobe.

If you have no admin-rights and access on your pc, you can only work with a version

Firefox stopped working

My Firefox don't start anymore. I can see the splash screen on startup when I am clicking in the portableapps panel. But the splash screen disappears and nothing more happens. No Firefox and the portableapps panel closes.

I installed my portableapps on a flash stick a while ago. I recently bought an external hard drive and copied my portableapps there. When using Firefox on my hard drive today I think the regular Firefox update started and did something before I clicked cancel. But Firefox was working as usual, it is when trying to start it again later it didn't work.
