Firefox Portable

Firefox 3.1 beta 3 can be downloaded here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.1b...

I saw the link posted at http://www.neowin.net/news/software/09/03/12/firefox-31-beta-3

The main Beta page doesn't link to Beta 3 yet, but it seems that this page is live.

For some time FireFTP no longer works, and I thought it was because it was no longer compatible with FF, but should be as far as I can see.

FireFTP launches just fine, and when I try to connect to a site the logs shows that everything is fine. for example:
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 07:58. Server port: 21.
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
AUTH TLS
234 AUTH TLS OK.

After updating to 3.0.6 and then 3.0.7 portable, the installation would not install the add-on Foxmarks saying it is not compatible. Where did I or it go wrong.

Everytime I close down FF it defaults. [kinda] It shows all those encryption things that are only supposed to pop up once. I also cannot set any themes because as soon as I restart FF to enable a theme it just defaults. Also, I have session store enabled, but the only tabs that pop up are the main page, and the download statusbar information page.

I would like to have an easy way to backup (and restore) my current bookmarks and toolbar settings of my Firefox portable WITHOUT having to install (big) third party apps like MozBackup.

Furthermore I don't need a backup of add-ons.

Just built-in settings + bookmarks are enough.

How can I do this?

I would prefer instructions for copying files (which ?) in WinExplorer

Just have a quick question. like to use a few portable apps on a partitioned hdd, so when i want to do a fresh install i can leave the portable apps and not have to install them every time.

Well i've just done a fresh install. But when i ran firefox portable all the extensions, cookies and my bookmarks were gone.

And i was just wondering if there's a folder i need to be adding them to so they'll stick, and if i decide to put firefox onto a usb to use on a different PC, those bookmarks and settings will be saved.

Due to a power cut, the PC turned off and files weren't saved on my USB stick (using FF from within a TrueCrypt volume).
When I restarted, ScanDrive had to be run to fix some errors, now the POrtabkleApps menu loads but FF refuses to start, no error messages.
I tried reinstalling and then replacing the old folders but no luck so the problem must be in those files somewhere.
How do I keep the old data and do a reinstall? I have copied the folders: App, Other, and Data
Thanks

Hi, referring to a thread months ago
https://portableapps.com/node/14100
Firefox 3 portable supposedly has more disk writes than firefox 2 portable and is very slow. Have they fixed this yet or is firefox 2 portable still better with less disk writes?

is it possible to run ffp with the main window hidden. i am developing a standalone (sorta) version of cooliris for windows. i want to hide the main window.

Hi
I played around with the searchplugin code in Firefox.
And I create a small PortableApps search plugin for Firefox!

Download the file:

copy the .xml file here:

Have fun!
Maybe someone would like to update this to the official PA version?
