Paths

What is the path you installed Firefox to and what is the path of your portableapps menu?

where

Where is it on your usb stick?
Mine for example is in the standard path:
Menu: X:/PortableApps/PortableApps.com/PortableAppsPlatform.exe
Firefox: X:/PortableApps/FirefoxPortable/FirefoxPortable.exe
where X is my driveletter.
If you installed the menu into the standard location it suggests during the installation, your etup should look similar.

You dont need to be super good at computer talk, we will get this thing sorted no matter what and you will hopefully learn something in the process. Smile

firefox install path

Where do you install firefox to?
If it is not there, you must have installed it into the wrong place. Maybe on your local hard drive instead?
If you run the firefox portable installer again, what installation path does it display?

It does

If you run the installer (FirefoxPortable_17.0.1_English.paf), it will first display a welcome screen and, after you click "next", it will display a destination folder.
What is the path it displays in that filed?
