The easy way is duplicate/copy Portable Firefox on your Hard Disk (or your portable device) as many time as you need for your multiple accounts.

Or you can use terminal and on each/multiple shell window do:

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profile /your/profile/folder/path

Otherwise you'd need a full license of Fluid.app.

In the PC version of portable Firefox it is easy (through editing an ini file) to allow the application to be opened multiple times and that meant that several google email accounts etc could be logged into at any time.

I cannot find a way of replicating this valuable feature in this otherwise perfect solution to our need - has anyone achieved this already and willing to share how please?

1. Firefox 4.0.1 was last version available at release date (21.05.2011). Use Firefox built-in update to get current release.
2. While Portable LibreOffice work from your desktop, it quit when launched from a USB drive.

I have noticed that the most recent version of FireFox portable is 4.0.xomething and the current version is 9.0.1. Is there any work still being done on making these apps portable for Mac and especialy Lion?

LibreOffice doesn't even work at all. It simply syas 'libre office opened sucessfuly' followed by 'libreoffice quit successfuly'. It seems like even with the Lion patch most of the apps are so outdated they either dont work well or run a a crawling pace in Lion.

Interesting find. I noticed this aswell and have found no explanation for the "pychhwqfug" urls. Who knows more about this?

One of the reasons I decided to try Chromium was because I don't like how frequently Chrome connects to various Google servers for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, I've found that Chromium does this, too.

Immediately on startup it wants to connect to ssl.gstatic.com, www.l.google.com, and others. I've also noticed a bizarre nonsense-domain that Chrome and Chromium both connect to on startup. It seems to change now end then. Just now Chromium tried to connect to the domain "pychhwqfug". At first I thought this was some internal thing, but I tried to ping it and lo and behold, it resolved to an actual IP address (204.232.137.207). What is this, and why does it have such a cryptic name? The name of this domain changes (it's different in Chrome and Chromium right now, and I've noticed Chrome use different ones in the past), but it seems to always resolve to the same IP.

quoted textHey Michio, I assume you're the one asking the same question on MacUpdate? glad you made it over to the forum. :)

yeah, I figured that I'd get a faster reply by going here rather than waiting for one at MU. And I was right!
Your g-mail suggestion is a good one.
I've installed Glimmer Blocker and I've also installed Ghostery for Chrome even though Ghostery doesn't work perfectly there but I should get some protection I imagine.
Anyway, it's not that big of an issue since I don't use Chromium as my regular browser…..I prefer Firefox; it's my default one.
FF has got a wealth of lovely add-ons including some nice ones for added privacy and security.
I like to keep several different browsers on hand.

Hey Michio, I assume you're the one asking the same question on MacUpdate? glad you made it over to the forum. :)

Imo, you have to differentiate with what set of data you do what. The fact that you need a gmail account to access extensions in the first place is crazy and tells us a lot about how Google works and what they think. They most likely think that humans are some kind of glibberish mass which provides data and Google will happily collect all the data possible to one day take over earth. :P But seriously, you can still create a fake gmail account and log in whenever you need an extension. Then you can log out again, as soon as the extension is installed.

Keep in mind most extensions will have access to your browser history, sometimes even more than that. So you shouldn't just randomly install extensions. I only have very few but I am aware of the fact that this is of course in a way compromising my privacy. We don't wanna talk about Google Chrome - that is much worse!

But the same goes for Firefox if you e.g. use AdBlock or similar add-ons. Only solution: don't use browser extensions at all. GlimmerBlocker (works through a proxy, I think) might be a workaround. I'm myself am too stupid for GlimmerBlocker. I wish they had a user interface which was easier to use.

Hope this helps,

If I want to install any Extensions for Chromium, I'd have to establish an account with Google since the Extensions for Chromium belong to Google Chrome.
So by signing up for a Google account wouldn't I be opening myself up to Google's invasiveness?
Does Chromium provide protection against any such invasiveness?

Thanks a bunch! Feel free to lock this thread.

Why not use the easier way with a GUI client? Try Colloquy, Adium or XChat Aqua, all listed here.

Hi, I am new to mac os and can't seem to install Textual IRC client. I have xcode and macports installed. I can get the code through github. Can smoeone help me?

Hey Carlo, I updated the icon myself :P

Did you notice you have several user questions on macupdate? Could you consider replying to those since you know the most about your chromium build. I think it would be great to check your distribution sites for questions about your software maybe once in two months and reply. (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/36244/chromium)

Great job with the twitter, btw. You are on one of my lists now :). Is it only a bot or can I reach you guys as well if I have a quick question or suggestion?

Thanks for your work!

Wenn schon die Beschreibung des Unterforums falsch ist bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob es wirklich ein deutsch-sprachiges Unterforum braucht. Im Hauptforum gibt es gerade mal 30 threads oder so. Sollte man sich hier eher auf gute Kernkommunikation beschränken?

I am using 1 password 3.8.9.38999 and at times when I enter my master password nothing happens… If I close the browser and relaunch again it seems to work. I did a fresh reinstall of chromium and and I still experience he same problems. The extension seems to work just fine with Chrome and srware. Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Themes are in:
~/Library/Application Support/Chromium/Default/Extensions

When you quit Chromium only last theme remain in your folder.
