Firefox updates itself on hard drive

Submitted by webwbr on December 31, 2009 - 4:25pm

OK, this is weird.

I'm running Portable Firefox (3.5.5) from a flash drive on my work PC (XP) that does NOT have Firefox installed on it.

Every once in a while, a Firefox shortcut will show up on the desktop and low and behold an installation of Firefox in the program files folder. I uninstall it and sure enough a day or two later, it installs itself again. I never see the installation window for this happen.

Is Portable Firefox trying to up[date itself, but somehow installing a fresh version on the hard disk? I'm perplexed.

Export profile firefox portable to firefox no-portable

Now I own computer, so I plan to switch from FF to FF portable non-portable. It's as simple as just copying the entire profile? or there are files that are not compatible? For example is that the bookmarks are easy to export but i dont know how doit with other things (history, extensions, etc etc)

P.S.: sry for my bad english - google traslator ^_^

Slow Firefox problem

Submitted by seasteve on December 23, 2009 - 5:59pm

I have been using the Standard PortableApps.com Suite for more than two years and have been VERY pleased. I regularly use Portable Thunderbird, with the Lightning addon, Portable Firefox, and I added RoboForm2Go and a diary program to create a great portable "office". I even created a batch file to open all four programs, converted it to an executable, and added it the PortableApps menu.

For the past few months I've been having problems and believe I've narrowed it down to Portable Firefox.

Firefox Portable 3.5.6 -- Crash Happy?

I'm unsure if it's Firefox itself or the portable version, but Firefox has gotten a little "Crash Happy" since I've upgraded.

The majority of the crashes are occurring with Facebook apps. On the upside, Firefox isn't freezing up to the point I have to kill it.

I just want to make sure that it's just not me having this issue.

Firefox Portable and Java Portable

Submitted by Mets on December 18, 2009 - 2:57pm

How do I get Firefox Portable working with Java Portable? The upcoming version of Firefox, 3.6, will only support Java 6 Update 10 and upwards. I installed Java Portable, which is supposed to be Java 6 Update 17, to X:\portableapps\CommonFiles\Java as requested. My Firefox is installed to X:\portableapps\browser. When I load Firefox 3.6 Beta 4, it does not see Java Portable....
