    Re: opening firefox

    Have you downloaded it?

    Do you need to somehow incorporate its use into a VB application?

    Look in the installationfolder of firefox. There you'll find the name of the.exe

    You have to download and install it to use it.

    You would still have to download and install the portable version though, right?

    Re: opening firefox

    You just run it.

    The exe name is, guess what, "firefox.exe".

    well, im at collage, and i need to open and use firefox IE is crap we are not allowed to download it
    I quite honestly don't understand the problem at all. Could you explain what's wrong with a slightly higher level of verbosity?

    ok, im home now, so i can use firefox, I have a major problem with black on white, and i have changed all back to white on my user at collage.

    This dont work on IE, but it dose on FF so therefore i need to know how to open firefox, when its already installed on the system, i have used a code on vb to open other aplications, but it dont work for firefox, i know its installaed somewhere, but it just wont open, therefor i need to know where and how i can use it without being kicked out from collage

    Re: opening firefox

    OK, now I see.

    i know its installaed somewhere, but it just wont open
    ...when you do what? Start menu? Possibly a permissions thing... Portable Firefox sounds like the ideal solution in this situation as it does not require any >local user permissions.

    This I can't really help you with, but if this that you describe:
    I have a major problem with black on white
    is a medical condition, and using Firefox alleviates the issue, then I can't see how your college would have any right to prevent you from using something like Portable Fx, which will not affect their computers (adversely or otherwise).
