Since I've updated to 3.0.3, FF when firing up wants to open two tabs, both of which generate errors. At that point I can click the home button and it opens to my home page. I would think by default it would open to what is set as home, any ideas?

You probably are using an INI which has an invalid entry in it.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
There are a bunch; the FirefoxPortable.ini I find in the PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Other\Source folder says it is an example. Below is the contents of the .ini file. Also the two tabs are; www.(old).com and www.showlicence.com.

How did you update? You should reinstall FFP 3.0.3 right over your current install. It looks like it's trying to show the Mozilla Firefox license agreement but not passing it properly. Any chance you have it installed to a non-standard path (something other than X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable)?

Regarding the update, I was having trouble with the update, so I downloaded 3.0.3 and installed. What I found was in the X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable folder there was a FirefoxPortable.exe and FirefoxPortable(old).exe. Interestingly enough if when I double click on the old I get the problem, the other one works fine. Wierdly enough both show the same version in help even though the date modified field for the old said something from 2007. So long story short here, I deleted the old now everything is fine.
Thanks for the help,
BTW: I really appreciate all the effort that goes into these apps. I can't tell you how lost I feel w/o my flash drive these days. Great apps!
I dont know where the (old) file comes from, but I'd say if it does work with the new/normal FirefoxPortable.exe, everything is ok.
