Problem with Microsoft Outlook in Firefox

Submitted by Paul Gauci on December 27, 2012 - 3:29am

I have a Microsoft Outlook account, which I access through both Firefox Portable and Internet Explorer. When I use the former the commands in the coloured band are half-visible because the bottom half of the white lettering would be located outside this band (against a white background). When I use the latter, I do not experience such a problem.

I am using the latest version of Firefox Portable in a laptop the OS of which is Win7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Thanks and Regards

Submitted by inlandsurfer2 on December 26, 2012 - 3:17pm

After firefoxportable upgrade to 17.0.1 the buttons on the top left corner to check messages, see comments, and friends requests no longer work, but they work in private browsing. I also cannot use chat.
I have disabled all the add ons and plugins. Still no joy. Anybody got any answers?

FF Portable is using local desktop plugins

Submitted by Cman139 on December 11, 2012 - 4:18pm

I am running FF Portable (17.0.1) for the first time today. I installed it onto a flash drive then tried running it from there. I expected that it would not have any plugins but it loaded all my local plugins and could it could run flash and Unity3d.

When I go to "Add-ons" I see the same list of plugins as I would see running the local desktop copy of FF.

I'm confused because, for one, I don't want this behaviour, and two, I didn't think it could even happen.

How to move profile FROM Firefox PORTABLE TO regular Firefox

Submitted by Bryllars on December 10, 2012 - 5:20pm

No one seems to have thought of this problem.
Firefox (regular) can import profile from other browsers
but NOT from Firefox PORTABLE.
And if you paste the portable file folder contents
into the Firefox regular profile folder
it just freezes up.

HOW CAN ONE MIGRATE FROM PORTABLE to REGULAR ????

Firefox Portable doesn't backup/restore the Crash Reporter keys. This is the preference under Advanced -> General -> "Submit Crash Reports".

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start Firefox Portable
  2. Go to Options
  3. Hit the Advanced tab, then General
  4. Disable Submit Crash Reports
  5. Close Firefox Portable
  6. Observe that a registry value has been created without cleanup. HKCU\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reporter\SubmitCrashReports
