CuBie

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

Im trying to get an internet browser in windows pe. Ive tryed firefox, but when i run firefox.exe nothing happens. I suspect this is somthing to do with a ramdrive?

If anybody knows how to get firefox to work with a ramdrive OR knows a browser that will work in pe that'all be great!

Thanks!

Chris. :)

Awhile ago i got mozilla working in winpe using a switch, and by hexing a file in the profile. You can edit the file with a hex edit, or you could run mozilla/firebird with the -p or -profile switch which will prompt you to create a profile. The -p switch works best because the hex edit doesn't always work.

Does anyone know how to enable IE in PE?

I would rather remain with the "MS Standard" programs...

Will now try exporting Reg settings, and copying Progfiles\IE to PE CD.

Will let you know how I go... May need ramdrive... would rather not.

Rgds,

Michael.

Firefox (and Thunderbird too) now supports the "-Profile" switch, which let it run from a portable media:

Create a profile under <firefox path>\profile and run FF like this:

firefox.exe -Profile \profile

I think you will need to edit the <firefox path>\profile\chrome\chrome.rdf to change to relative path to make your extensions works. See this thread for more info.
