Portege R700-172 Firefox Portable doesn't run Win7 x64

Hi,
does anyone uses succesfully the firefox portable on this machine? It doesn't run on my machine. I guess it doesn't support Windows 7 x64?

Hi
As far as I know the firefox portable is designed for mobile usage.
Means you can place it on USB flash stick and it does not need to be installed on the OS.
Therefore I doubt that the Win 7 64bit OS is the reason why its not working.
The firefox portable is based on official build of the common Firefox browser and it compatible with Win 2000, Win XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7.
In your case I would ask in Firefox forums for further details and information.
But it would be interesting to know, what could cause this so please share the info with us if you will get further details

  • Why is there no warning that firefox 4 doesn't run on a powermac? where can I find firefox 3.6 to reinstall?

    So I responded to a prompt (while running Firefox 3.6 on my powermac) to download and install Firefox 4. Great! Well, the install and over-write of 3.6 ran smoothly, but trying to open Firefox 4 there was a message saying the hardware didn't support it. OK fine. But now I have no firefox. Where can I find 3.6.16 to install?
    The Firefox 4 beta from a few months ago DID run, so this is curious.
    thanks
    Don

    This oversight is inexcusable!! I am also running 10.4.11 on a PowerPC Mac, and I received a notification advising me to update to Firefox 4.0. I checked first, and not only was there no warning that it was compatible only with Intel computers running 10.5 or higher, but it showed that it required 10.4 or higher! Mysteriously, this is gone now.
    I lost everything, and now have nothing to lose by going back to Safari. You (Mozilla) axxholes have cost me a lot of time!!!

  • Portege R700-172 high-frequency chirping

    Hi,
    did anyone experienced a high-frequency chirping of the Portege. I just own it few days. Twice I had such a sound and wonder what it is (it is not the typical fan sound.)? I turned off speakers, but this wans't the source of it...

    Akuma,
    this sound appeared for the first time directly when I turned on the PC from normal standby. After I restarted the Portege it was gone. Some time before I had connected a wireless mouse (2.4GHz) and I had installed a SIM-card. So I thought it might have to do with it. But I had at this time - when the sound appeared - already this mouse disconnected. And the HSPA was inactiv, even switched off.
    Anyhow, next time it happend, nothing was connected. And so far it didn't appear again.

  • How can I re-install firefox 4? firefox 5 doesn't run a key plug in I need for my job. This is major issue. Please help.

    I need to reinstall firefox 4 - where can I go to do that? Why does your site make this difficult to do?

    Hi ancusm,
    Unfortunately, downloading Firefox 4 is not recommended, because the update to Firefox 5 was a security-related fix. However, you can go back to Firefox 3.6.18, just download it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Running 9.0.1 Firefox. I get a msg from AVG that Firefox is using too much memory and then the computer (not just Firefox) shuts off. Running Win7 (64-bit) with 4 GB Mem and Intel i-5. Only 4-5 "normal" windows are open at the time this happens.

    Right now Task manager Performance tab on Memory says: Total 3958; Cached mem 1588; Avail 2239; Free 722; Physical Mem 43% and this window is the only thing open. Kernel mem (MB) says Paged 179 and Nonpaged 80.
    I can get you more info if you tell me what you need (and where to find it - I am 60 y.o. woman and this is not my forte :=)
    Thanks,
    sandy

    If you want to reduce memory(60%) '''when firefox minimize[only in windows os] '''there is an easy old good trick:
    type in the address bar '''about:config'''
    then press the button '''i'll be careful i promise'''
    then '''right-click''' anywhere in the list of preferences and choose '''new''' > '''boolean'''
    then type in the open window '''config.trim_on_minimize'''
    then click''' OK''', and in the next window select '''TRUE''' and click '''OK'''.
    exit firefox and restart-it.
    '''works only in windows os'''

  • Firefox 5 doesn't stop running when closed

    I'm running win7 x64 Home Premium and after closing Firefox 5 it still runs and has to be shut down by the Task Manager. It happened every time so I reverted back to Firefox 4.

  • ITunes Sync Running Win7 Fails

    So, new compouter, running Win7(x64), and syncing up iPhone (v2.2.1) for first time.
    Ringtones and apps are pulled "up" from phone into iTunes just fine. Trying to sync a new music load down to the phone (using latest x64 version of iTunes v8.2x), and soon after music titles are shown as being downloaded, system chokes up the following (useless) error:
    "iTunes sync error. Could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred. 0xE8000065"
    This of course after it was clearly talking to phone just fine (ringtones, apps, etc).
    Same phone & library running iTunes on Vista (x-86) works just fine.
    Anyone have a clue?

    iTunes syncing of music is one way, and always has been. You sync from the music library in iTunes to the iPhone. The iPhone does not have a disc mode like the old iPods and thus cannot be read from in that manner. If you did not have a backup of your iTunes folder on the old computer, you need to look at this User Hint from another forum user to see about getting music off iPhone to the computer. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    If by chance you did have a backup of the hard drive, then copy the iTunes folder in its entirety and put it on the new computer. While you would still get a warning that iTunes will erase the music, you will be able to sync it back since you have it. The iPhone sees the new computer install you did as a new device.

    TM does not work like that.
    If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
    Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
    Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.

  • Have downloaded firefox update 3 times and it doesn't run

    I have just started to use firefox on my pc which has windows 7. I keep getting a message saying I need to update the version of firefox, so I down load it and it says it is downloaded ( I now have it 3 times) but it doesn't run and still keepstellin me I need to upgrade it??? DO I just go back to internet explorer???

    Your browser reported to the forum that you are running version 3.6.6. Can you verify that using the Help > About Firefox dialog?
    Which file did you download: Firefox 3.6.27 or Firefox 10.0.2?
    (If you need to re-download, you can choose from the files on these pages:<br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all for 10.0.2 or <br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older for 3.6.27)
    Make sure to close Firefox before launching the installer for the newer version. Do you get any error messages when you start it? It might take a minute for the installer to check itself before you get a dialog.

  • Portege R700 -- disabling Intel AMT in BIOS causes fan to run constantly

    I recently purchased a Portege R700-1321, which shipped with BIOS 1.40.  I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64.  I have attempted to disable Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) on this machine by going into the ME BIOS (via ctrl-P at bootup), setting an admin password, and then disabling ME completely.  However, when I reboot after disabling ME, the fan starts to run at high speed and runs continually so long as the machine is powered on.  Re-enabling ME in the BIOS and rebooting again causes the fan to behave normally.
    I believe this is a BIOS rather than Windows problem because upon booting the machine, the fan steps up from low to high speed over the course of about a second before the Windows startup screen appears.  Windows appears to be fine despite the continually running fan, so AFAIK this is not the freezing-up issue that has been reported for R700s, despite the similar involvement of the fan.
    Is anyone else seeing a similar issue?

    I noticed that when battery is charging the miniPCI temperature spikes to 50 degrees. Unplugging the AC or reaching the charging threshold causes sudden drop in the temperature. The interesting thing is that the minipci sensor is near the southbridge (near the ram) and the battery sensor itself stays stable at 30 degrees.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. This doesn't work because Firefox is not a running process so I can't close it.

    I don't use Firefox now because of this running problem. It started about a month ago. So when I access the task manager, Firefox does not show up in the running processes. Because of this, I can't end the task. I got tired and fed up of rebooting my computer just to use Firefox, so I just switched to IE8, and Opera and Google Chrome. I prefered Firefox but it also runs so so sooooo slowly now. IE is much much faster, as are the other browsers now. Once upon a time, I bragged to everyone about how fast Firefox used to be, where now I admit I don't use it because it's so slow now and it won't run anyway.

  • Portege R700 - Can't update the BIOS

    Hi,
    I recently bought a Portege R700 19M and I have downloaded the latest version of the BIOS available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it doesn't work with this message: "The computer is not supported"
    And, when I have a look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it doesn't display the BIOS version but some weird character (not usual letters) so I can't know which version is installed.
    thank you for your help

    I have a similar problem. I have an R700 18Q (Short Model No: PT311E) and my SO is Windows 7 Pro, 64 bits, and when i try to run "BIOS180_EC140.exe" I got a message: "This computer is not supported".
    So, since "BIOS180_EC140.exe" is just an archive file, I have extracted all its content into a folder and these are all the files inside there: autoExec.0409; autoExec.0411; autoExec.vbe; BIO007BT.COM; CHGBIOSF.EXE; EC73V140.BIN; nchgbios2.exe; nchgbios2.sys; NCHGBIOS2x64.SYS; TosPwChk.dll; TosPwChk.lng; TosWshHelper.exe; version.ini.
    So and now? What should I run? I have already tried nchgbios2.exe and TosWshHelper.exe, but nothing happens. Finally I have tried CHGBIOSF.exe, but I got the message: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running. Check your...."
    How can I upgrade the BIOS?
