To change the splashscreen

just change the FirefoxPortable.jpg and recompile the Launcher source in /Other/FirefoxPortableSource (its the nsi file).

Another, less technical way:

1. Just copy this into an ini file in the FirefoxPortable.exe directory called FirefoxPortable.ini:

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
AdditionalParameters=
LocalHomepage=
DisableSplashScreen=true
AllowMultipleInstances=false
DisableIntelligentStart=false
SkipChromeFix=false
SkipCompregFix=false
RunLocally=false

2. Then install the Firefox Splash! addon (it works very well) and choose the picture you wish to have for your splash screen
