Firefox Portable

The machines local firefox profile folder shows signs of Firefox Portable activities:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Extensions-BackupByFirefoxPortable
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Crash Reports-BackupByFirefoxPortable

Is this a result of well-known update bug or some other issue?

I know that there's some nitpicky legal reason that John can't turn off automatic updates, that's fine.
But (and this has happened to me before) Firefox just auto-updated itself to 3.5.5.
I looked at my settings, and I ALWAYS set my Tools>Options>Advanced>Update so that updating Firefox is UNchecked.
It's just that Firefox apparently doesn't care, it still autoupdates.

So I give up trying to fight it. I'm not re-installing FFP to fix any potential problems from the automatic update.

Hi, I have just updated from 3014 to 355 and find that when I start firefox it will not initiate the network connection, it just gives me a 'cannot find server'and I have to separately make the network connection.

This does not happen with previous versions.

I realise its probably something trivial that I am missing but cannot see it.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Is there any chance that you release Firefox Portable 3.0.15? I have looked in legacy section but the most recent version there is 3.0.14...

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have problems with firefox portable and installing addons.

is there any way to put a .html file into the firefox and let it open that as the homepage?

im aware that you can using f://firefoxportable/etc..

but what if the usb letter changes when you insert it into a new computer? how can i make the local homepage open all the time?

Greetings All!

I'm a total newbie when it comes to using linux, usbs, and portable apps. So if I sound ignorant, please forgive me. I don't even know if I'm in the right forum!

Here's my dilemma:
1. I have a desktop with XP and I use Firefox as my browser.
2. I just bought an Asus EEEPC 1000 with linux (xandros).
3. I do not want to download XP on the netbook.

My questions are:
1. Will the firefox portable apps (on an usb pny 4gb) work with the netbook?
2. If not, why?
3. If so, how?

After copying the Portable Firefox from Portable PortableApps directory to local harddrive, such as D:\Temp\FirefoxPortable, the following error occur while starting D:\Temp\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\firefox.exe:

"The procedure entry point sqlite3_result_error_nonmem could not be located in dynamic link library sqlite3.dll."

It just dawned on me, while the actual Firefox profile manager, I guess, is not portable (I don't see how it's not, but I'll take y'all's word), the launcher can make a portable variation. You could probably get away with making the GUI for it look like Mozilla's.

Here's how it works:

If you just have the folders App, Data, and Other, it works like normal.

The latest install of firefox seems to install ok, and in ABOUT it even says "3.5.4" but when I checked Help/Check for updates, it says:

There were problems checking for updates, firefox could not be updated".

Any ideas what happened?
