Hi there!
I would like to use at portable firefox the profile of my "normal" firefox I use on my PC and backed up there with the add-on FEBE. To restore it with FEBE in portable firefox I have to create a second profile. I tried it with the profile manager using the "run-application" of my WinXP (firefox.exe -profilemanager), but I could not "reach" the portable firefox this way to create a second profile there.
How does it work?
(I hope I have expressed my problem in an understandable way, as I'm not a native english speaker...)
Thanks so far!

The profile-manager doesn't work with Firefox Portable by design.
Firefox Portable is meant to be run with one profile on one drive. I have no experience with FEBE but are you sure you need a second profile?
One possibility would be to have 2 FirefoxPortable/Data folders and rename one and use it when you need it.
Hope that helps a bit.

the febe file you have can be used in another way it is really just a .zip file containing a copy of your profile so if u want you can just change the extension to a .zip and open it (with whatever archive program on your computer) and copy the contents into the X:\portableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\settings folder and it should all work
hope this helps
