Firefox Portable Plugin required?
 

I am trying to give this firefox portable a shot. I created all new folders with FF Portable installed seperately. Now ebay doesnt let me login unless I install a flash plugin? silverlight? any ideas guys? thanks in advance

Use Mozilla Plugin Check to check your plugins in the Portable version. You may be able to run an update.

Unlike Chrome where for every Portable CH you can use it's own separate directory for flash plugins, in Firefox - no matter if it's the regular default installation or Portable one - it uses the main PC installed flash version. So yeah, you must install flash.

Flash 14 @ x64-bit

Flash 14 @ x32-bit

Both versions installs both x32+x64-bits versions of flash on your x64-bit Windows. If you're still in x86-32bit, then get the x32-bit one.

Pehe will this be a problem for my stealths? should i switch over to chrome portable?

Re: Firefox Portable Plugin required?
 

Don't know this answer, other people need to post their feedback that are using multiple Portable FFs for their stealth-accs.

Chrome is good for all foreigners like me because it can auto-translate whole site in seconds without refreshing the page. But it's good as well for all English people who sale in other than the EN markets (COM/UK/AU), I mean: DE, FR, ES, IT, JP, HK, BE, CH.

From my experiences, no. I believe the critical info that we are concerned with in our case is stored in a folder of each installation of FF, therefore keeping everything separate.

I get a bit nervous with this one. I once called eBay and they did tell me they track thru flash cookies. So I'm not sure how flash cookies are put in your computer or how they can or cannot track you thru portable apps, user accts etc.

lol how did you get them to talk about how they track you through flash cookies?

Re: Firefox Portable Plugin required?
 

Do not let ANY other browser or plugin try and install when using portable....isn't good!

Re: Firefox Portable Plugin required?
 

It was awhile ago, so I'll try and remember my best. I had to call in because the the eBay phone verification was down. I tried to verify and it said there was an error. And then it said I had to wait another 24 hrs to try again. I was like wtf? I need to list something now! So I called in, and they couldn't figure out why, and they said to make sure not to clear cookies because they used flash cookies to track.

So what is the verdict on flash cookies? Can it track you within the same user acct irrespective of browsers?

I installed firefox - clean - no silverlight or such and I had no problems with login. What is the exact message you get? Maybe screenshot?
