I have tried running Port. Firefox of both my Server Memory and from my USB Drive, and for some reason on the University Network my extensions are not thier, while if I use the Port. Firefox from the USB drive on anouther compter (Before and after) they are thier and work fine.
What can I do to avoid this, esp. since 90% of my computer time is on these computers?
Thank You

Could they be blocking some access? Portable FF works when you move to any directory structure except one containing non-ASCII characters.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Although there are in the computer directories containing non-ASCII there is no reason for the firefox to acess these folders. Also The Firefox works fine, its they extensions that dissapear.
Thanks

Does the *full* path to Portable Firefox or ANY of its folders contain non-ASCII characters? If it's on your Desktop... most likely it does. If the path contains anything non-ASCII, PFF won't work right at the moment.

The operating system on the computer (windows xp) is setup and does use non-ascii. But the PFF is set up on my portable drive and non of its path includes non-ascii. The PFF does work, just the extensions disapear when used on the university computers.
Could you tell us what extentions you are using ??
Have you tried some other extentions ??
I have tried sepreatly and together:
CustomizeGoogle,Tabbrowser Preferences,PDF Download,IE View,FasterFox,Gmail Notifier,WebmailCompose,Single Window,Unread Tabs,Disable Targets for Downloads. Along with others.
All of them disapear on the university-server computers (which run windows xp, with non ASCII, and which has firefox on it, on which extensions work {although because of the system-server set up, the extensions are erased evrey time i log off})
Hope this helps,

specific to the university computers and we won't be able to help you with it further. There's no way any of us could remotely diagnose or reproduce the problem.
