Firefox Portable

I am giving Portable Apps a test run on a 1Gb usb drive.

The full suite is installed. I have tried within Portable Firefox 3.02, to set up Open Office as a Helper App for DOC files. It just doesn't take, defaults to Always Ask. Setting up Sumatra as a Helper app worked just fine. I'd appreciate and clues on how to proceed.

System is Windows XP.
Current version is the English version of fireFox portable 3 (probably 3.0.2).
I installed an older version under C:\Program Files\some\more\sub\dir. It got updated to 3 (probably 3.0.2), which worked.

Hello. After using the firefox portable 3.0.3 for a while, I have come across some problems.

am wondering if someone can help me out on how to install adobe flash player so I dont have to keep looking at the install missing plugin bars

Hello Boys and Girls.
I am wondering if these 2 or 3 things are is purposely left out,
or maybe it should or could be requested.
Or maybe there is a setting or a fix.

(1) = When you click a download link to a file FF does not have a
popup blocker, per say, I do use Adblock+ 7.5.5.
Like IE it blocks it then a little bar up top says it was blocked,
and you can click that and choose to download the file.
So to me apparently it might be blocking popups, I can't tell.
But not the ones that the user clicks a link for.?

There seems to be no allow popups or temporarily allow,

Hello Boys and Girls.

Are the Addons, Extensions and Themes for Portable FF
the exact same ones as for a Local install ?

OR is there a different website to download ones for Portable ?.

Whenever I am using my portables, and I click a link for my browser, the IE loaded on the pc opens, not Firefox from my flash drive. Also, I don't have a 'file' tab in Tools/Options/content. Any ideas

I was in options, and pressed a help button - Firefox Portable then opens a web page with information - however it didn't open in the existing version of Firefox but launched a new version - and I'm not sure if that was the portable version or not
(I don't have a version installed, but i'm assuming if you launch the browser without using the launcher things go wrong).

Is this a generally bad thing? Can things have been screwed up now?

When i click on my prtable firefox, it shows the firefox splash screen then nothing! I tdoesnt open or pop up any messages, everytime i click on the exe, it does the same thing. It started this for no reason, i didnt install anything new in firefox or on the usb chip!

is there anything i can do?? i have my firefox, backedup on my pc and even from there it doesnt open!

Is there any way i can at least save my bookmarks?

Thanx

Even though, It's not a crucial issue for me, I'm really puzzled about the "Add New Toolbar" customization option failing to actually install one.

It only works half way. I can see a new bar being added initially, but after pressing the "Done" button, it just disappears.

Doing a search, I've found this post here: https://portableapps.com/node/762 , suggesting that the problem is usually caused by extensions. So, first, I played with my add-ons by disabling them all, eventually. That didn't solve the problem.
