I have been running FF portable for years now but have had problems with the most recent updates: Nothing after 6.0.2 will upgrade it always fails and rolls back.
I don't think this is the upgrader specifically (It complains about firefox.exe being locked and can't rename it) as I've run the upgrade manually which I can get complete successfully but FF just crashes then.
I've also tried installing each version from scratch in a new folder and they just crash - all I get is the splash screen.
I am running WinXP with SP3.
Any ideas would be appreciated as my browser is getting less and less secure.
Thanks

Downloaded 8.0.1 and installed it as a completely separate vanilla install - still fails to start (I get the splash screen and then nothing).
If no one can answer this I'm going to have to go to Chrome (which is supposed to be more secure anyway...)
