Firefox Portable

Can't update properly.

Submitted by Nob on August 12, 2008 - 9:11pm

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.

I can't download images and such when I am on Vista (or this machine anyway).
When I right click an image and click "Save image as" nothing happens.
When I go to a website that automatically downloads stuff, the prompt comes up asking if I want to open or save, if I click save nothing happens. If I click open, it downloads into the temporary folder on the computer.

Alternate EXE call???

I was nosing around my USB drive when I noticed that the Firefox portable INI file made this statement:

"The FirefoxExecutable entry allows you to set the Firefox Portable Launcher to use an alternate EXE call to launch firefox. This is helpful if you are using a machine that is set to deny firefox.exe from running. You'll need to rename the firefox.exe file and then enter the name you gave it on the firefoxexecutable= line of the INI."

whenever i click a link on windows (about boxes in programs) it open the firefox program and not firefoxportable.

how can we make them open the firefoxportable with the default settings ? or make firefox.exe (original) look in the profile directory of portable firefox ?

either way, i want to be able to open my links in the portable to retain all my preferences, etc

thanks
