The FoxBox
app needs to be in the same Applications folder as TenFourFox to
start with. And then (my mistake) was to move both TenFourFox and
FoxBox into another directory (folder on my Mac). It refused to
start (exactly as you described). I moved it back into the
Applications folder and it worked fine. I also copied over the
'recommendation' files to see how it worked. i am using an old Mac
running 10.4 PPC and it just works rather well. However plug in are
not enabled so It may be a little less secure as i normally use
DoNotTrack and uBlock and then there is the Quicktime enabler which
might not work.</p></div>SPearltag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/408219882016-12-19T05:47:47Z2016-12-19T05:47:48ZI'm trying to use FoxBox without success<div><p>Spearl,</p>
<p>Sorry to be so late on reply.</p>
<p>No one replied to my initial requests so I just gave up.</p>
<p>I was going through old Emails and ran across your response.</p>
<p>If you are put out with my slowness, I would like to try to
learn how to<br>
do FoxBox correctly.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

put in a fox box?</p>
<p>Is TenFourFox in your Applications folder?</p></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/408219882016-12-19T18:57:25Z2016-12-19T18:57:25ZI'm trying to use FoxBox without success<div><p>Cameron,</p>
<p>I would like to be able to get eBay to work a little more
quickly -<br>
that's probably asking a lot isn't it?</p>
<p>TenFourFox is in the applications folder.</p>

FoxBox. I have a bog standard Mac PPC G4 running 10.4 . I don't use
FoxBox very much as it ignores all the FireFox plug-ins you may
have. It sort of bypasses all that for full flat-out speed
increase. Its a trade off security v speed. It does speed up
everything.<br>
The first thing you should look at is the FoxBox app start up as if
in the opening 'Preferences' dialogue box and set that to the url
of whatever site you want. In my case I changed it from Google to
site specific 'gmail', and then hit 'create' to make a new Fox box.
It really is that easy. Keep it alongside the Ten4 Browser
application (not in another folder or anywhere else). If it does'nt
work then its kinda hard to figure out why. We all run the same PPC
Mac system and if 104Fox browser works, then so will FoxBox.</p></div>SPearltag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/408219882016-12-21T23:27:20Z2016-12-21T23:27:20ZI'm trying to use FoxBox without success<div><p>SPearl,</p>
<p>I put the FoxBox application in the folder with the TenFourFox
application.</p>
<p>However, when I try to run FoxBox (with TenFourFox running) it
gives me<br>
this error message: Couldn't find / Applications /
TenFourFox7450.app!</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

and it has to be beside (next to) the TenFourFox Browser to work.
If it isn't - then it can't find it. Effectively they need each
other to work.</p></div>SPearltag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/408219882016-12-22T01:25:38Z2016-12-22T01:25:38ZI'm trying to use FoxBox without success<div><p>SPearl,</p>
<p>I did get it to work.</p>
<p>After I experimented a while with it, I realized that the
TenFourFox<br>
application had to be /only/ in the Application Folder; by itself.
It<br>
could not be in a TenFourFox folder in the Application folder.</p>
<p>Likewise, the FoxBox application had to be by itself in the
Application<br>
folder.</p>
<p>Even if the two were together in the TenFourFox folder in
the<br>
Application folder the FoxBox application would look only in
the<br>
Application folder and not in the TenFourFox folder in the
Application<br>
folder.</p>
<p>Would it be possible to give the FoxBox application more
capability to<br>
find the "parent" application?</p>
<p>Now to learn how to use FoxBox.</p>
<p>Thank you for sticking with me on this.</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>

other places to put the application and it would not be feasible to
have the system look for TenFourFox in every possible location
(plus, if it came up with multiple hits, then I'd have to figure
out how to disambiguate on top of that).</p>
<p>Thanks, SPearl, for helping out since I'm out of the country for
the next couple weeks.</p></div>Cameron Kaiser
