Best regards

Thanks for the plugin

%ramdrv%=X: - how do you substitute your systemdrive?

System drive is X: too.
Use FBWF plugin and change B: to X:

Sherpya's Firefox plugin updated to 2.0.0.20:

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7d36088...2db6fb9a8902bda

Runs primarily from the X: drive with minimal RAMDISK requirements. 21.5MB BartPE footprint.

New version of the same plugin.
This is not in SFX self extracting file form
No need to extract in %ramdrv%.
CD footprint 11.5 MB

See first post for download link.

Bye

21.5 -> 11.5 is quite a drop!! How did you save 10MB?

Thanks to upx.exe and rejar.exe

Hi Oscar

Thanks for the Firefox 2.0.0.20 plugin
I was looking for a FF update that ran from the CD without using up the ramdisk

I tried it out (without XPE) there is one minor bug in the XML file,
the first part has \Programs\Firefox2\firefox.exe
the second part has \Programs\Firefox\firefox.exe

I was using PE Firefox 1.5 from Bart's site.
Your plugin for FF 2.0 saves space on the CD compared to PE FF 1.5 (about 5MB)
but it uses about 3.2MB on the ramdisk compared to 1.3MB with PE FF 1.5
(After FF is first run some files are copied to ramdrive %userprofile%\Applications Data\ ... Mozilla\...)

regards
Mike Barnes

By default Firefox copies x:\programs\firefox2\defaults\profile to ramdrive X: or B:\Documents....Applications Data\ ... Mozilla\...
but it is less than 900 KB and may be only 500 KB if you delete add-ons in ...profiles\extension folder

Have you added more add-ons to my plugin or are you running 2 versions of Firefox in the same CD?

Regards

Hi Oscar

I booted up BartPE, checked free space on ramdrive

Then from A43 clicked on some html files to display them with your plugin FF 2.0.0.20 then again checked free space on ramdrive
I have re-used a plugin to create the file associations with FF and html + htm

I added this to the cmd file which clears my ramdrive

del /s /q /f "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Mozilla\*.*"
del /s /q /f "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\*.*"

With modern PC's and large ramdrives this is not a problem

I installed the plugin in my cd with FF 3.5, I set some plugins and some custom profile (it spends 35mb in my cd and 2mb in $ramdvr$ lol, but i don't care with space I wanna make it as my personal browser)

I installed Java and flash plugin in my FF, Now i am trying install WMP plugin, to be able listen online broadcast ... but it's not being as simple as i imagined, someone have a idea?

thanks

Please don't polute the FF thread with an unrelated software. Start a new thread.

I have added Firefox 2.0.0.20 to my BartPE 3.1.10a setup, I am able to browse with it though I get the following error when I open the browser: "Could not initialize the browsers security component"

I downloaded the Firefox plugin (ff20020nosfx.zip) http://www.mediafire.com/?3uxqmkogcjm.

I have attached my Firefox menu and .inf files, along with a list of all of my current BartPE plugins. I had to change the .inf file to .txt in order to upload it.

This error looks like a setup problem with the Firefox plugin or could this be a conflict with my other plugins?

I have learned enough BartPE to do basic diagnostics and modifications, though I am out of my depth on the registration section.


Also, I would like to add some basic plugins to Firefox in order to access flash content, and read PDFs in the browser. I can put this question in a separate thread if that would help.

Is X: the temp file ?
If not because you do not have FBWF plugin enabled then try changing x: to b: in *.ini and *.js files (prefs.js, extension.ini)

I tried the FBWF plugin in place of RAMDisc, and found it broke my DriveImage XML plugin.

I will check my temp file paths and try FBWF again.

Thanks for the quick reply....

It is faster first to edit plugin extensions.ini and prefs.js files to change hardcoded x:\ to b:\ and try again.

If you install FBWF plugin and change in ramdrv plugin enviroment temp variable b: to X: then you must search any plugin *.inf file for b: hardcoded and replace any b: with x:

I looked through the folders for firefoxflash and Foxit Reader, though I found no calls local directories or even a variable in place of a directory.

I think an environmental variable within BartPE or the firefox plugin itself must set this path, I have not found it yet.

Have you looked at the files oscar directed you to, the plugin extensions.ini and prefs.js files?

Using the FBWF plugin is usually not a good place for beginners to start.

The plugins I am using are self-contained (java160_07) for Java, (pdfrd.cab) for PDF files, and (firefoxflash-1.3.cab) for Flash, I am not adding the plugins to the Firefox directory, just these separate plugins to the BartPE build.

I looked for these files in the firefox plugin directory, though I saw no path information.

I implemented the FBWF plugin on the recommendation of someone using Firefox 2.0.0.20.

Regarding flash / java plugins for Firefox, I did some searching and found a thread that discussed installing the plugin files to the RAM disc and then adding the resulting .xpi files to the firefox plugin folder to make additions permanent.

I would like to try this method though I wondered if there someone can provide more details?

There use to be a FirefoxPE SFX Creator cmd file around that might help also. I don't remember who created it. It might be worth a search.

I located a thread discussing this script tool, though it was 5 years old and the links are expired.

I tried Sherpya's plugins for Java and Flash for adding these capabilities to Firefox, though I could only get Flash to work on Firefox 2.0.0.9.

It is possible to replace all the FF 2.0.0.9 files in the plugin with FF 2.0.0.20 version files and have the plugin still work. I have not tried that approach using FF 3.0.x because 3.0 is a different animal imo but I could be wrong. And I don't know if I have tried FF with any sites using Flash.

I've done that with 3.x and have now 3.5.6 running but I remember there was something more than just replacing files, I know that I touched the user profile (maybe only for some personal preferences) with the change to 3.x and maybe something more. Additionally I used UPX to get a smaller FF3 (13MB). Flash plugin still works be copying files from my local install.

After trying to get my plugins to work with Firefox 2.0.0.20, I have switched back to Sherpya's Firefox v2.0.0.9 plugin, so that my Flash and Foxit PDF Reader plugin function.

I could get the Java plugin to work with Firefox 2.0.0.20 and FBWF, though other plugins were problematic.

I re-enabled the Sherpya Java Sun v1.6.0_07 plugin and will try again to get it to work with this version of Firefox.

Does the Java plugin require any other plugins to work?
