Firefox Portable

Unable to update/install FF 22

Submitted by JKEngineer on July 16, 2013 - 11:23am

I had an older FF Portable installed, but I think it got partially wiped when I had update problems a while ago. I am still having problems.

I am using PA on a local hard drive, Win XP SP3. Partway through the installation I get dialogs about inability to write to various .dll files in the directory:
D:\download\Software\PortableApps-installedapps\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox

I find that directory to be ReadOnly and the properties show 0 files and 0 folders. I cannot change the ReadOnly status from the Properties box.

Java platform

Submitted by youngsoybean on July 11, 2013 - 11:13pm

When I browse some web pages recently, there are some blocks saying the plugin is disabled.

Then I clicked manage plugins and then it showed java is outdated. However, after I downloaded and installed the latest java, the problem has no change (still the plugin is disabled).

Win7 64bit, FF portable 22

Anyone can help?

Thanks!

Conflict between Firefox and Just Gesture

Submitted by Peter8087 on July 7, 2013 - 3:09pm

Just Gesture is mouse gesture program for windows xp. I am using it from several months and really make the things lot easier for me but i think there is conflict between it and Firefox portable which doesn't allow me to use Firefox portable.

The program has a option to disable itself on programs chosen by the user and remain disabled when a specified program is the active window. I have normal install of Firefox and i had setup Just Gesture to disable itself when Firefox is the active window so i can use the gestures from Firegesture addon that i have installed on Firefox.
