I'm trying to install Firefox on an external hard drive.

''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/768694]''
I'm trying to install Firefox on an external hard drive. Having it start on the external drive in a program files directory is very straightforward but I would also like to have the user files on that drive as well. Those files are typically in a directory similar to the following.
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxx\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
I did have this set up on an older PC but now that I'm setting up a new one, I can't remember just how that was done. Could someone refresh my memory?

The process is quite straight forward, you start the profile manager, create a new profile and in the second step of the create profile wizard click on "Choose folder" to choose where you want to save the user data.
The process of creating a profile is detailed here - [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]. There is a warning about using a non-standard location for the profile (copied from the mozillazine knowledge base)
'''If the folder you select for the new profile contains non-Mozilla files (such as the "My Documents" folder on Windows), your profile data will be intermingled with the non-Mozilla data. This can result in the loss of all of the data in that folder, including non-Mozilla files, if you later delete the profile.'''

How to install Firefox for Mac on an external USB 3.0 drive and run Firefox portable?

I recently acquired a new MacBook Pro 10.9 Mavericks laptop and, I would like to to install Firefox for Mac on a Mac-compatible external USB 3.0 HD, and import my 16MB of legacy bookmarks from a PC-compatible USB 2.0 HD and, run Firefox as a portable application, as I did for years on my 7-year-old EOS'd Dell Inspiron XP laptop.
Do-able?
If so, I would like to do the same with Thunderbird...

Hi,
There are portable versions of Firefox and Thunderbird but Mozilla doesn't offer them directly. You can get them from PA.com. Links are below:
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable Firefox 28.0]
*[http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable Thunderbird 24.4.0]
All you have to do is open it, and point the installation directory to your USB Stick

How do I install firefox on a desktop without internet with a different operating system to my laptop (XP to Windows 7)?

I have a Windows 7 desktop where the internet is working but internet explorer will not work so I need to install firefox. I have tried downloading it to my external hard drive via my Windows XP laptop but cannot get it to install on my desktop.

Download the Firefox installer for Windows and save that file to an USB stick (or CD/DVD) and copy that file to the other computer.

External harddisk became extremely slow after reformat using disk utility

hello everyone~ let me try to describe as clear as possible!
to start with, i have 2 external harddisk:
hd(A)-120G, format in Mac OS Extended (journaled), it's and old harddisk and is nearly full;
hd(B)-200G, format in MS-DOS (ie. FAT32), it's a new harddisk with plenty of space.
what i wanted to do: make both hd(A) & hd(B) read & writable in mac & windows.
so, i tried to move all files in hd(A) to hd(B), hope to reformat the hd(A) to MS-DOS. but then i found out many big files can't be moved to hd(B) at all, and then i found out there's a 4G limit to the FAT32 format.
then, i tried to format hd(B) in NTFS, hoping that it can be read & writable with the help of MacFuse in both mac & windows without file size limit. so i downloaded and installed the MacFuse in my mac and format the hd(B) in a PC with Vista. well i was a bit impatient.. so i chose quick format only. then i plugged it in my mac~ yes it's readable & writable!! but the speed was like... 2mbps.......yes, 2MB per second. i really can't stand this speed! i thought it's becoz of the NTFS format... maybe it makes the transfer speed slow in mac?
so finally... i reformat the hd(B) into Mac OS Extended (journaled) using Disk Utility in OSX. i gave up the idea to make it usable in both mac & window.. i juz want the bigger harddisk to serve as a backup storage harddisk and i'll be happy with that already. so, after the format, i started moving files from hd(A) to hd(B)...and....well... the speed remained at 2MB per second.... which means, it takes like an hour to transfer juz 2G or so... i think the speed is very strange right?? maybe i messed it up making it different formats one time and another... and i dunno what to do with it now!!
anyone...please help me?? =(

Hi aniDa, and a warm welcome to the forums!
You might try reformatting it but choose the Security Option button to Zero Data once.
Did you reboot everything?
You can also make your PCS R/W HFS+ with MacDrive ...

Installing Windows XP on external usb drive?

Hello,
I was wondering if I could make an IDE drive in a USB enclosure a bootable Windows XP drive?
I have on hand...
1 x Macbook Late 2008, Leopard format (my own)
1 x Macbook Late 2008, Partitioned with working copy of XP home edition (access to)
1 x iBook g4 Fujitsu IDE drive in USB enclosure 27.9 GB
1 x Windows XP Home edition w Service Pack 2 (original disc)
1 x Windows XP Corp edition w SP 2 + 3 (a copy)
I really DONT want to partition MY macbook, luckily I have access to one that already is, However I thought it may be handy to turn my old g4 drive into an external XP bootable drive...
Is this possible? and how? Thank you.

Hi Maczbook,
while it is possible to use an USB-Memory Stick or external harddisk to boot either OSX or Linux from it, Microsoft has made it quite difficult to do the same with Windows (XP or other).
They simply don't want it...
Only instructions I found are these http://tubeshards.wordpress.com/2006/12/05/install-windows-to-a-macintosh-usb-dr ive/
While they are a tad bit old (from the time of BootCamp Beta) they might be still useable.
Maybe worth a try.
Regards
Stefan

Trying to install firefox-3.5, x86_64

There are so many packages on AUR for firefox-3.5, but they require xulrunner-1.9.1. So, I installed xulrunner-1.9.1 from AUR through yaourt, but even after installing xulrunner-1.9.1 from AUR, when trying to install firefox-3.5 I still get a message saying that it requires xulrunner-1.9.1.
How do I fix this?

Try one that does not require Xulrunner (externally), like Firefox-PGO.

Installing Firefox with WIN 8.1

After installing Firefox I cannot open the programme as I get the pop up saying the http address is wrong. I have installed and used Firefox on this Toshiba laptop before with no problems.

Install Windows XP on External Hard Drive

Is there anyway I can install Windows XP on my WD 500GB External HD? It serves as my Time Machine for my MacBook, which doesn't have a whole lot of HDD space left. I'd like to install XP and be able to run it on my Mac, but it takes up way to much space.
If I can't install XP to my external drive, is there any suggestions for clearing space on my MacBook? Any way to remove unwanted applications?

Jerid Lucas wrote:
I don't quite understand your answer, or maybe you don't quite understand my question. Here are a little more details.
I have an Early 2008 Macbook with a 160GB HDD with Tiger installed.
For BootCamp you need OSX Leopard since the BootCamp Beta from OSX Tiger no longer works.
I'm interested in running Windows XP on my MacBook, but I'm concerned with it taking up space on my already small HDD. However, I do have a 500GB external HDD that I have plenty of space on.
My question remains, is there anyway that I could install Windows XP on my external drive while keeping Leopard on my laptop HDD. Would I be able to use BootCamp to assist me. If not, how would I access/boot XP?
See my first post. Windows is not intended to be booted of an external harddisk.
This is prevented by Microsoft and BootCamp can not change this.
Windows XP itself needs about 10GB of harddisk space. Add to that the amount of disk space that will be used y the Windows programs you want to run plus the space used by the data files.
So something about 20-25GB for Windows might be sufficient.
How much free disk space do you have right now ?
What is 'eating' up your disk space ?
I know these are several questions, and difficult ones at that, but I believe there is an answer somewhere.
The answer is given, but the technical limitations of Windows prevent the answer from being what you want to hear.

After installing Firefox v 22, AppleWorks runs slow and hangs up. Can I unintall v 22 and revert back to Forefox v 21?

I work on a iMac Intel Core 2 Duo - OSX 10.6.8 I rely on using AppleWorks v 6+ (Classic mode -Rosetta) I have over 3000 records in an AppleWorks data base and do not want to lose these records.
Also, I run two Operating Systems on my computer - one (OSX 10.6.8) in my internal HD, another from a 2TB external HD (also OSX 10.6.8). Although I do not recall doing so, I must have downloaded and installed Firefox v 22 on my "internal" HD. Since doing so, AppleWorks hangs up and sometimes requires me to Force Quit the App. However, when using my external HD (which still runs Firefox v 21) when I launch AppleWorks (from my Applications folder on my "Internal HD) I do not experience any problems with AppleWorks. The problem with AppleWorks hanging up or not responding, began only after installing Firefox v 22 on my internal HD. I have no idea why but Firefox v 22 is definitely causing problems with AppleWorks v 6+
Is it possible to revert back to Firefox v 21 (if I uninstall v 22)?

I 'm facing the same problem but I don't want to uninstall better to Roll back to my previous version . 'cause many plug-in ( which is most usefull and important to me ) not supported with my present version V22. like easy youtube .
I want to know what is the benefit if I don't get any better opportunity from upgrade version and also lose my previous version's facility !

After installing Firefox 4.0, I cannot download bank transactions into Quicken 2009.

After installing Firefox 4.0, when I download bank transactions into Quicken 2009, it tries to open a new file rather than go into the file that is already open and from which it accessed Firefox in the first place.

Such files that are passed to external programs are usually downloaded to the system temp folder (%TEMP% or %TMP%).
You may need to check your Anti-virus software if this isn't working properly.

Need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden

hi
I would like to ask whether does Microsoft have a solution on this issue
need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden. and there will be a Recycler hidden folder, inside is a randomName.exe file(with a lady image as the program icon). Once the user click on the
shortcut of the folders, it will activate the .exe file and install onto Windows and with any pendrive, external harddisk plug to the infected machine all will be affected when plug to a clean machine and the cycle repeat itself.. by infect other
clean machine.
Please help as this is affecting my company of 400+ users! on window 7 pro x86 and x64
the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..
thus is there 1 Microsoft patch to solve this issue once and for all... to prevent the autorun to activate?
Jaslena

the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..

This is just because of infection is propagated.. As a result files are hidden.. attrib is great as it is suggested by S Guna . May be you can make a batch file or something like that? But there is a chance of reinfection if you don't clean your infected
systems as well as your pendrives..
Plug your infected flash drive and
Use one scanner at a time
Download hitman pro 3.7 (shareware and can be activated for 30 days free)and have a full system scan including your pendrive.. http://www.surfright.nl/en
And/or
use malwarebyte have a full system including your pendrivescan http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/
And/or
Use Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool downloaded from uninfected pc and transfer to you pc and install and have a full system scan
http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1
If everything fails, you can use offline bootable resccue cd and do a full system scan...
https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-defender-offline-faq
or hitman kickstart bootable pendrive
http://www.surfright.nl/en/kickstart
Then
(1)Check whether your files are hidden.. Most of the time files and folders are hidden as a result of pen drive malware infection..
It will change the attributes of the files/folders.
In that case u can use attrib command and
attrib -s -h -a -r
This is how it is used.. attrib method is common for windows

(2)If data is deleted you can try recuva.. freeware to recover data.
