Firefox Portable

foxmarks works fine except it won't allow me to choose a profile. In this case I wanted to got with the mobile one. is there a file I can edit? other known work around.

EDIT: I think I just had to put the exception for foxmarks.com in then it worked.

I've noticed that that there are some files created by Firefox Portable in the default user directory in Windows.

These belong to the new Mozilla Crash Reporter (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad), and there are also some extension folders created. That knowledge base article suggests a way to disable the crash reporter, but should this not be done by default to make the app truly portable (ie not leave data on the host)?

what is it do i need it it takes up 1gig
x:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\minidumps

I tried adding the -profilemanager parameter to the FirefoxPortable.ini but it doesn't work. Neither do -CreatProfile profile_name , -P parameters.
However, -safe-mode parameter works.

So, is it because of Firefox Portable? Is there any way for me to create profiles in Firefox Portable?

So, I been having this weird issue with my portable firefox. When I start out a clean copy, nothing but all my usual profile information and extensions added, this size shows about 25 megs. Just to pre-empt, yes, I tried clearing my cache, and that didn't work. Anyhow, after browsing for a few hours and logging into a few sites, when I zip it back up, the size balloons by like 10 megs to 35! Any ideas?

I have convinced my friend to use PortableApps on his flash drive. Since its install he has had a continuous problem with Firefox. Almost every time he opens his web browser it does not show his bookmarks and I have to re-name the places.sqlite. I am then able to restore his bookmarks then everything is fine, until he closes the browser and it will start all over. I have tried removing Firefox and installing it but nothing is different. This is strange since I haven't had one issue with mine. He now has version 3.0.3 and it still acts the same.

I'm having trouble to install the Shockwave plugin. I've copied np32dsw.dll to \FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins and it actually appears in the plugins windows (Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in , version 11.0). But when i open a site which needs the plugin to run it just crashes firefox. If i install the plugin normally on the pc it works fine but what i wanted was to have it portable like i have the flash plugin, the wmp plugin...

Just for the record the page i'm trying to access is www.isketch.net and when i click on "play now" firefox crashes.

I'm not sure where to post this but I'd like to make a feature request.
Sometimes Firefox Portable refuses to start because there's a local copy of it runing on the machine. The problem is that some portable apps use firefox portable if it's installed instead of using the default browser.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to launch the webpage passed trough the parameters in the default browser on the machine or (If it's possible) in the local firefox installation.

I start FirefoxPortable.exe. Then I need to open URL from command line in this running Firefox.

If I run:
G:\Apps\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\firefox.exe http://www.portableapps.com/
Then local Firefox is opened.

hi,

any chance we might start testing a FF portable setup where we could also have minefield the x64 FF version setup to use same personal data and bookmarks?

is there any indication that sharing like that might be possible?

basically my concern is, since we have here a portable FF we might be sometimes on a 32 bit operating system sometimes on 64 bit system, we would need to be able to share the bookmarks, passwords and such for this to make sense...

are there any plans regarding minefield?
