When I installed the Portable Apps suite on my "Imitation 2Gig thumb Drive" FireFox imported all of my extensions including RoboForm with all my logins etc.
How can I install the suite and end up with nothing but a clean install of all apps having imported none of my local settings, extensions or bookmarks?
I want to use this drive for business not personal so I can only have business information on it.
My bookmarks have a bunch of personal junk in them and RoboForm's login data that have nothing to do with business that just take up room, gets in the way and becomes time consuming.
Thanks for any info in advance,
Mike C.

this somehow can or should not happen, since it does not import anything from local installation.
So I assume, you are just looking on the wrong firefox?
If you take clean copy of the firefox, install it on a usb stick, nothing will be imported automatically.

Some firefox extension install them selves locally in a way that every firefox version which is running automatically adds them to its list. Maybe Roboform is one of these. There is no way of changing or stopping this behaviour.
There are other threads about this problem/behaviour.

Last I checked, if Roboform is running, it will latch onto any running version of Firefox, including the portable version, and insert itself.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks for your replies.
I guess I'll have to:
WHEW! Getting dizzy just thinking about it.
I'll let you know what happens here as I imagine I may not be the only one who will have this question.
