One that unzips the files to the temp dir and one that just copys them.
(as discussed on the MozillaZine forums)

As I have had now response from John on either the MozillaZine or these forums, I will proceed with the beta:
Portable Firefox Live 0.4
There is also one that unzips the files from a zip to the temp directory:

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
I've just been a bit swamped and as I told you in a previous personal message on mozillaZine, I already have a version of PFF Live in testing that is written in NSIS and works hand-in-hand with the new Portable Firefox 1.5 but uses a single, integrated launcher... so, for instance, the splash screen is visible the whole time files are being copied into the temp directory. I had asked to see your code in that PM to see if there were any ideas that could be adopted into the main project or if you were taking the same approach, but had never gotten to see it as the last version you released (that I had checked out) was just the binary.

The source was in the zip. Have updated anyway.
And have changed title to *UNOFFICIAL*

Looks like I confused you with another thing I was working on.

You must be working on a lot of projects. Anyway just thought that if you need someone to beta test/make a NSIS installer/... i'm always here

Now a intergated version.
This version includes both PortableFirefoxLive and PortableFirefox in one. Also includes source.
Same link as above^^
PortableFirefoxLive.zip

Yay. I now have everything up & running at http://portablefirefoxlive.mozdev.org/

I'm incorporating code to do "Live" directly into the standard Portable Firefox launcher, so there'll be no more reason for a seperate "Live" launcher. The only thing that's been holding things off is that I was hoping to do it at the same time as the updated multilingual launcher which I'm also working on.
Please don't create a fork of my project with the exact same name as the old project I'm replacing ("Portable Firefox Live"). It'll only confuse people to have multiple projects with the same name by different people.

My latest version is integrated with pff 1.5
Also about the Mozdev page, I was planning to give you access as well as having my version

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Like I said, I've already done the work to integrate it cleanly. I was waiting on the localization code for the next release before releasing it, that was the only reason for the delay. Having another version up at MozDev with the EXACT same name as mine will only create confusion.

I am in the process of shutting down the mozdev pages.
Anyway I have a new project!
Oh and BTW this topic is now closed

Thanks for understanding, Ryan. I appreciate it.
And your offer of assistance with NSIS is *much* appreciated. I'll be publishing code soon that I could use quite a few eyeballs on. All contributations get credit in the source and on the project pages, of course... and my undying gratitude.
And I'll be posting the new PFF Live code next week as well as Portable OO.o Live... so your help (and anyone else's) is much appreciated.
Another new open source portable app? Anything I can do to help?
EDIT: contributations? I was gonna edit this and fix the typo... but I think I like my new word
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
not really.
It's a menu/launcher the simple way. Written in, wouldn't you know it, NSIS

I might be converting some of my fav. apps.
BTW I will still have the unoffical code on my website, with links to yours.

Oh I'll have a look.
P.S. I uploaded my version of the sync utility. You can get it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/profilesync
Also did you get any of my three e-mails I sent 2 weeks ago?
