Firefox Portable

Plain Old Favorites add-in

Submitted by cbaxterm on April 3, 2013 - 10:22pm

I use Plain Old Favorites add-in for Firefox on my desktop and think it is Fantastic. This add-in works when installed on the PortableApps version of Firefox, however; it still points to the Favorites shell folder on the hard disk.

Does anyone know a way to get this add-in to point to a folder on the flash drive where the other PortableApps are located?

PDF files in firefox

Submitted by ottosykora on April 2, 2013 - 12:17pm

Any idea how to open pdf files in current firefox so it is open with the adobe pdf reaader and not with the firefox own pdf viewer?

The adobe pdf is installed on the host machine in its current version, the plugin is also listed in the plugin list.

However when a link with pdf is opened, the pdf document attempts to open in the firefox own pdf viewer which unfortunately makes many pdf files just a whipe page.

[Closed] Portable Fx With Nightly doesn't properly handle restarts initiated by Fx itself or by it's add-ons

Submitted by Drugoy on April 1, 2013 - 8:15am

There are some cases when Firefox initiates a restart:
1. Updating Fx prompts to restart it
2. Installing non-jetpack add-ons requires browser restart to run them
3. There are some add-ons like "restart button" that add a button that restart firefox upon clicking it.
4. Crash causes crash reporter to pop-up. Crash reporter always fails to submit a report and suggests to choose 1 of 2 actions: either close Firefox or restart it. User may choose to restart it.

In all the above cases firefox will restart without firefoxportable.exe, which will make it run in non-portable mode.

Which Firefox portable for use on PC and/or thumb drive ?

Submitted by Russell English on March 19, 2013 - 10:58pm

I have trawled thru the PortApps forum to find the down load of Firefox portable -- without success.

One down load was offering an "installer". Do I need an installer?
Can I move my current bookmarks to the portable version?

I want to use FFox portable on my laptop.
(I have major probs with installed FF since Jan and getting no solutions on the FF forums)

Any help appreciated.

Firefox, TBird and high CPU usage under Linux

Submitted by darkstar on March 16, 2013 - 8:33pm

I will post this here, although it appears to also apply to Thunderbird as well. When running either PortableApps Firefox, and/or Thunderbird on my openSuSE 12.2 Linux machines, I am seeing a very high CPU usage as reported by TOP. Memory seems fine, swap seems fine, and I don't see this issue when running either Firefox or Thunderbird native. I might suspect this is a Wine issue but I do not see other PortableApps using high amounts of the CPU... Thoughts? I see lots of similar problems being reported throughout the internet, but no common thread or solution...
