It should not be any different than regular FF.
The easiest way:
If that does not work then check www.mozillazine.org forums for further help.

i'm sorry but it is http://www.firefoxportable.com/FirefoxPortable.exe
(and it does'nt work because it's under construction)
It seems to me that there is a bolt for not opening with my preferred page (yahoo mail)
but with compulsory link to firefoxportable, even it's yahoo adress chosen in the window: opening window
Seems like you messed up your INI file. You have a file called FirefoxPortable.ini sitting next to FirefoxPortable.exe. For some odd reason, you have the LocalHomepage variable set to FirefoxPortable.exe. Please re-read the information on using an INI file to ensure you're setting it up correctly (see help.html - advanced options).

I too have received this error... however it only occurred from a shortcut created with Smithtech's shortcut creator for U3. At the time I wanted to run Firefox 2 from the U3 menu, instead I opted to use packagefactory to create FFP2 into a U3 lauchable program. Also Smithtech shortcut created for thunderbird prevents a default email check at startup, not quite as annoying as the FFP issue since simply pressing send receive fixes that.

i am running with Smithtech shortcut
i'll try another laucher if it is proven that is the cause
The Shortcut Creator is most likely the cause.
There was a bug in the manifest file creation which duplicates the exe path as a parameter.
The shortcut actually think your trying to pass a webpage to firefox to open.
The bug has been fixed in the latest version.
I would suggest removing and recreating your shortcuts with the latest version.

Am getting redirected to this page whenever portable FF opens up:
https://portableapps.com/FirefoxPortable/FirefoxPortable.exe (which doesn't exist and delivers a 404 error)
I've looked in the following locations:
\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Other\FirefoxPortableSource\FirefoxPortable.ini
and
\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\settings\FirefoxPortableSettings.ini
The first has these settings:
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
AdditionalParameters=
LocalHomepage=
DisableSplashScreen=false
AllowMultipleInstances=false
DisableIntelligentStart=true
SkipChromeFix=false
SkipCompregFix=false
RunLocally=false
The second makes no reference to LocalHomepage, so I don't see why/where my instance is being redirected. FWIW - I did use "U3 Shortcut Creator" to add this to my U3-USB drive.
It's in the FirefoxPortable directory. Along side FirefoxPortable.exe. The one in the "Other" directory is just an example. FirefoxPortableSettings.ini is something totally different.
Did you try a base install on your drive without using U3 Shortcut Creator (which is not supported)?
