Firefox Portable

I have been using Firefox portable for some time now, and have bookmarks, etc stored in my profile. I also have a brand new install of the PortableApps suite including Firefox - with a later version installed.

What is the best way to "merge" my existing installation into the new installation, keeping the newer version but copying over my profile?

Thanks,
Paul.

PS One way I've though of is to replace the new copy with my older one, then run the updater to update it to the latest version. That doesn't seem particularly hard to do - would that be the best option?

Hi,

I try to switch from 3.6 to 4.0 (and now 4.0.1) but firefox doesn't launch.

The splash screen appears, then disappears, and then... nothing.
I can see FirefoxPortable and firefox.exe in the task manager, but that's all.

It is a new fresh install (not an update), and the safe mode does the same.

Thanks for any idea.

I am a korean.
when i use Google toolbar translate function in Firefox 3.x with translate words by hovering over them checked and hover over a text "1 cup", it says "1 cup= 236.6 cubic centimeter.."
but in Firefox 4.x , It just says "cup= 컵"
So i prefer Firefox 3.x which also offer unit converting. but Firefox 4.x doesn't offer unit converting... it only tranlate it to korean..

thank you

Hi. I just updated Firefox to 4 and found that I've lost like 5 years worth of bookmarks from my usb drive. I had access to all of them before I updated and now they are gone. Is there anything I can do? What happened anyway?

I'm using version 3.0.16 and this morning it was fine but an hour later everything was gone. The box at the top asking if I want to save the passwords I remember comes up. But when I click "yes" nothing happens. Anybody know what happened? And how do I fix it? I just wish I'd written down some of the newer passwords! LOL!

Thanks,

hello dev's

i hate version 4 from ff, because mozila make a big step back(now is also IE9 better).

i have much problems with this version, the biggest two are, the "plugin container" and the process in TaskManager from firefox not down after closing ff4.
for the first problem have i change the "config" in firefox but the problem with not closed proces is wrong.

can i whitout problems downgrade PA ff4 to PA ff3.6?

Hello,
I can't seem to find the repository URL for Firefox portable to hg clone it. I guess I'm missing something obvious, can someone help me?
Thanks,

Can it be possible in future to run
two different Firefox Portable at the same time?

They will be located in different folders
and will have different set of plugins.

FFX 4 had been running fine for weeks. Suddenly would not start, reporting a xulrunner version error. Following a hint in an old thread here, I edited application.ini to allow an earlier version. Seems to work fine now.

I'm sure I've had this before but can't recall the fix.
FF4 was working fine with various plugins.
I ran auto-update and FF4.01 restarted- to show no Flash etc.

Now I turn on about:config to show full URL (set plugin.expose_full_path to true), go to about:plugins and ALL plugins are on C drive, it's not picked up those on the portable drive.

This happened before after an update but can't recall how I fixed it.
I have already tried reinstalling FF4.01 over the top incase the updater was broken.
I have already deleted "pluginreg" in \PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile.
