Aaargh!

Anyone have an uploadable version of the LJ login widget? Or instructions on how to install a .xpi file or something? I'm going to go absolutely batshit if I can't switch from Socchan to Sonoko easily, and after a number of months to get used to Portable FireFox, IE just kinda leaves me cold. Sloooow. Slooooooooow. So I want to install the widget, but I keep getting a "download error" or something. It could well be that it doesn't work on the portable version of FireFox, which would be sad-making, but I want to try everything I can first.

On a side note, ack ack ack cramps >_< I'm not sure whether I should be glad or not that they decided to wait until after my doctor's appt yesterday to show up LOL supraize pap 8D. Needs moar ice cream kthx :(

Edit: Login widget up and running beautifully T^Tb Currently in the midst of trying to figure out ChatZilla. Now, where was that IRC tag again...?

Can you install it this way? http://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#plugins

Let's find out.

Nope, same error =_=

Here's what it looks like, BTW. That's what happens virtually as soon as I click "install". I'm not getting any instructions either, which I'm guessing I'm supposed to have, judging by step five there.

Also, if I click the link a second time after the first install attempt, it doesn't do anything unless I quit FireFox first.


Oh, and I was browsing through the comments on [livejournal.com profile] ljlogin, and it looks like it should work fine for Portable, as long as I don't set a default user or something.

Hm, scrolling down the page at the portable apps site gets me this:
# Themes and Extensions - Most themes and extensions should now work with Firefox Portable -- including those that make use of the component registry. A handful will still fail, though. A few things to keep in mind:

* Some XPIs must be downloaded to your PC before installing and then opened using FILE and then OPEN (this is a limitation of Firefox, see Bug 262854). If you can't easily download the XPI locally (like with the Google Toolbar), simply enable your cache temporarily (Tools - Options - Privacy - Cache - enter 1000 and click OK) and then install the extension. Don't forget to disable the cache again after installing. Oddly, addons.mozilla.org doesn't seem affected by this.

Managed to download it with "Save link as", but it doesn't want to open. Should I choose a program from a list, or search the 'net for one?

...hm, doubleclickig usually works when you have it installed locally, let me see if there's a fix for that.
soc_puppet: Dreamsheep as Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time (Waah! T-T)

[personal profile] soc_puppet 2007-06-12 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
This is what I get with either double clicking or right-click + open-ing.

Oh hay, hang on a sec, this looks promising. I'll go take a closer look in there.
