Hi,

I would like to know how to configure the firefox/thunderbird.ini in a right way to have them "stealth".

My system is a german win XP SP2.
By default im using the english_user.ini. but they leave folders on exit in:

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\xxxxx\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla\firefox....
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\xxxxx\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\xxxxx\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\thunderbird..

so i added in the firefox.ini the lines:

[RunAfter]
DirRemove=@AppDataDir@\Mozilla
DirRemove=C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\xxxxx\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla

Is there a better way to configure the ini?
Because im a little scared to mess something up

Another question is:
how to change this to another folder?

browser.download.lastDir=$Download$|\\"

i dont need the download folder there and would like use another folder.

thanks in advance

Hi,

You can change with:


[RunAfter]

DirRemove=@AppDataDir@\Mozilla

DirRemove=@UserProfileDir@\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla

About the download directory, where do you want to set it?

On desktop of active user (your desktop), maybe?


browser.download.lastDir=@DesktopDir@|\\"

This will remove, PERMANENTLY, all the Mozilla's settings of the installed programs.

I mean: if you're going to use your usb key on a computer of a friend of you and you will delete all his Firefox's settings, maybe he'll be not so happy of that

So: DO NOT REMOVE THE FOLDER "@AppDataDir@\Mozilla", NEVER!

I think you're scared to leave the file "@AppDataDir@\Mozilla\Firefox\pluginreg.dat" or other staffs like that. Well, this is just a temporary file and it's not so important to take care of it.

I agree that he wouldnt be very happy

But im using X-FF on my local pc and i just like it clean in my appdata folders

Running X-FF with normal ini leaves this on my pc:

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\xxxxx\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Mozilla\Firefox\Portable\Internet\Browser\X-Firefox\Bin\Firefox\updates\0

and i dont like to have many nested folders with no use, so i think (if not used on another pc, or having an installed copy of FF or TB) its safe to remove that.
Wouldnt it be possible to modify the ini in the way that it would write the settings to, for example
@AppDataDir@\X-Firefox... or even better in the applicationfolder
instead of
@AppDataDir@\Mozilla ?

so the folders could be savely removed even on another pc?

And one more question ...

Is it possible to have more userprofiles?
If yes how to create with X-FF?

thx

The easiest way is this:
1) make a copy of X-Firefox.exe a rename it as X-Firefox.NewProfile.exe (where "NewProfile" will be the name of the new profile)
2) double click on it, than a new *.ini will be generated and opened in a text editor
3) change the profile setting in the section "Setup" as follow:


[Setup]

AppName=Firefox

Profile=NewProfile

4) save the modified .ini. Firefox will start using the new profile.

Hi littlenerd,
If I well understand, you not need to modify X-Firefox.ini file, but it should be enough to go to
"Tools|Options|Main|Downloads|Save files to..." setting, and set to "D:\Downloads".
X-Firefox, as its not-portable version Firefox, simply remembers the latest download path.
Tell me if I missed something...
Best Regards

No, no, that's not enough

You can change the path to download dir in the [FileSystem] section:


[FileSystem]

Download=.\Downloads

The syntax to use is:

;-------------------------------------------------
; ** Path syntax **
;-------------------------------------------------
; ALL RELATIVE PATHS ARE RELATIVE TO "Root" (and "Root" is relative to "@ScriptDir@")

; \Path --> path relative to root drive
; .\Path --> path relative to root
; ..\Path --> path relative to one level up
; ..\..\Path --> up two leves, and go on
; X:\Path -> absolute path

Other stuffs that you can change in the [FileSystem] section are:


[FileSystem]

Root=@ScriptDir@

Temp=@TempDir@\$ScriptName$

Cache=@TempDir@\$ScriptName$\Cache

Home=.\$UserName$

Bin=.\Bin

Lib=.\Lib

Doc=.\Documents

Backup=.\Backups

Download=.\Downloads

For the next X-Launcher's version I'll write the help directly in English, I promise
