Firefox Portable

Have FFP 3.1 installed and clicked to launch, the add-on updater asked me if I wanted to install updates for tor, better gmail and no-script (and maybe download -helper) they seemed to update ok but then FF wouldnt launch, just a message with something along the lines of "there has been a crash, would you like to quit or retry, and would you like to report this?"

the report fails and a retry fails only thing that works is quiting. Am using an old 2.15 install currently.

the report contents are:

BuildID: 2008070208
CrashTime: 1218807603
InstallTime: 1218807603
ProductName: Firefox

I started to use Portable Firefox and Thundbird under the assumption that they do not leave ane traces on the host I use. In contratry to this assumption Firefox definitely writes filesonto the hard disk of the computer of the network of my employer and leaves them even after removig the USB-stick. Can I do anything against this? These files grow so big sometimes that I am prompted to wipe them off before logging out from my account under XP.

I've followed the post on firefox3 installation and it worked perfectly.

However, I can't seem to get the flash plugin (or the shockwave) to install?

When I run it as an exe file, it installs to the firefox on the hard disk, but not to the the portable app. There doesn't seem to be a way of telling the installer where to find the portable firefox.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
GF.

Now I know John T is going to give me a raft because he doesn't like people to install portable on the hard drive. Still, I need to know why FFX would do this in hopes it will help me diagnose the real problem.

I know that a lot of people are experiencing crashed with FF3 so I guess the same goes for FFP3. My crashes happen sometimes when I close FFP3, but that's not the point - I'm sure it'll be eventually fixed.

What I don't get is why it always gives me an error when trying to send the error report - it says it could send it. Any ideas why?

Hi!
In my addons list the uninstall button of the IDM cc extension is greyed. I want to uninstall it because i have flashgot installed. Can any one tell me how?
thanks.

Whenever i launch FF appears a little window and the following message: "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments . . .", after a while appears the message "One or more files could not be updated. Please make sure all other applications are closed and that you have permission to modify files, and then restart Firefox to try again". I click OK and both these actions repeats themselves, and after the second or third time of this process FF get launched. Is there a way to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have put the directory of PortableFireFox on my CD and in this directory I have put the file FireFoxPortable.ini

But, I want to launch a web page HTML which is in an other directory on my CD. This HTML file is called "index.html". How can I modify the file FireFoxPortable.ini in order to launch the main page of my web site when the CD is in a computer?

thank you for your help and excuse me for my bad english, i'm french
