We're sorry, but Firefox hit an unexpected problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.

It's a beta. Crashes will happen. Incidentally, what OS are you running on? What directory? Default profile or custom?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
absolutely a beta will crash sometimes but i have tried the FF 3.0b1 ( not portable one )before and i haven't got any problems with it. that's why i thought something about portable one..
im using win xp sp2. i installed it to my old FFP directory. In to FirefoxPortable directory ( as it comes by default ). then try to run it.. that's all i did..
Another point: i wander that will it use the old firefoxportable data and settings if i install in it and overwrite ? Or it will create a fully clean profile and settings etc..
a human never fails but stop trying...
It works just fine here on my XP production and test machines and on my Win 2K test machine. I haven't had a chance to fire up Vista yet.
As I asked before... what directory did you install to? And you weren't upgrading a Firefox Portable 2.x install were you?

i tried to upgrade a Firefox Portable 2.x to see if it will use my old settings and profile. Got the crash. then i install it on the Desktop in a FirefoxPortable dir.
well, that means it won't use my old profile for now. and why i got the crash..
thanks and sorry..

Yeah, I haven't written the upgrade code from 2.x yet. Just assumed people would install it side by side.

Thats good to know.
I would have tried an update too...

Until then I'd have the default install dir be somthing like FirefoxBetaPortable.
cowsay Moo
cowthink 'Dude, why are you staring at me.'
it left a folder called "Crash Reports" in my Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\ with 2 files in it: "UserID" and "InstallTime2007110904".
Anyone can confirm this????

It will not let me into the program before it crashes. I had to delete it because it would crash after 14 seconds of either starting the program or restarting the program.

Alright! Issue resolved! (n.n)~b
Great job Firefox Portable crew!
No crew....just John lol.
Most of it is just John....except the apps in the beta forums that weren't posted by him, and Toucan is Steve's

Although I dont understand how the launcher does it but the files are gone
