Normally I open FFP 305 by clicking on the start icon and enjoy my own settings.
Sometimes I open FFP lazily by clicking on a HTML file and get the FFP with the default settings (not bad either, but...).
Is there a way to define my personal settings as default settings?
PS: I hope it is not a RTFM Q. I tried to find a solution by looking through the available infos. Meanwhile I understand how to create different profiles. Just copying the files into the default folder wouldn't work.
PPS: Since an early version of FFP2 I use the program every day in different environments (W98, XP pro, Vista, Vista ult) intensively with loads of plug-ins. Of course I start the update function quite often. I never had any serious problem so far. Hard to believe but it is as it is.
PPPS: TNX 2 all the programers! Your efforts R appreciated very mucho!

Opening it that way, you're opening firefox.exe directly which uses a profile within APPDATA on the local PC or creates one if there isn't one. This is why you can't set firefox as your default browser since it sets the copy of firefox within Firefox Portable as your default, it does not set Firefox Portable as your default.
You can edit the registry and point it to FirefoxPortable.exe, though.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanx for this simple solution. I feel like an idiot!
Editing the registry was not necessary, I simply registered the file types again with FFPort.exe.
Now FFPort works as it should do when I start the program by double-clicking onto a file!!!
I had "FF" as my default in the options menu, but also registered the HTML/HTM/XML etc. with FFportable.exe via Windows explorer.
So each time I started, FFPort re-registered the file type from ffp.exe back to ff.exe and omitted my former registration. Cross!
Maybe someone of the programmers could include a hint about that problem into the default browser text.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
