Firefox Portable

I'm a big fan of saving hard to find information in .mht format. Here's a link to some instructions to get it working in firefox:

I did it and it works!

On my laptop, I have a proxy script which ensures that wherever I connect to a network, even inside a corporate firewall, then Firefox works completely automatically. I'm trying to do the same for firefox portable - the same as in "completely automatic", with zero clicks or key-presses - and the thing that's stopping me is the drive letter problem.

I know about the proxy-switcher plugin - this doesn't appear to give complete automation.
I also found info about putting the pac script in the firefox app folder and using resource:/// but to me this is an ugly solution.

Ever since I updated Firefox to 2.0.0.7, I occasionally get a problem where I either lose a tab when I hit the back button, or lose the entire program. I hit the back button, and it (either the tab or the entire program) just disappears.

When I check for running processes in the Task Manager, firefox isn't there. After I upgraded Firefox, I did implement a few suggestions regarding improving Firefox speed. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the problem.

Anyone else seeing this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Possibly the recent update of eQuake, and/or FlashGot, both of which I installed on Oct. 2, might be causing Firefox to fail to launch just within the past two days. In ProcessExplorer, the Firefox process is running, though; it just never launches the window. I've left it running for three hours with no launch, so by that time I'd say I can give up on it.

Is the option to remove cookies when firefox closes disabled in the portable app version?

i think i figured it out!
if i encryped the update.exe file in the "firefox" folder, with toucan, i will no longer get the Software Update Box
i keep deleting it and it keeps restoring itself
would this solve my problem?
thanks

I have been trying to determine what is causing it, but so far, I have failed to do so. Unfortunatelly, I have no extra time to go deeper into this problem and what I got is not enough for a bugzilla report, therefore I decided to at least report it here..

From time to time (aprox. every other day), some of my bookmarks get lost randomly. With no crash experiences, ff is always properly closed before computer shutdown, disk is working fine, etc. However random lines in the bookmarks.html file sometimes change from this:

I cannot get Portable FF to connect at work. I get:

ERROR
Proxy Error
The proxy encountered an error.
Please try again later.

I have checked IE proxy settings and set portable FF to the same settings, in automatic and manual mode. The proxy is an ins script which ends in "ie6sp2.ins" running on a LAN. Didn't work.

I tried renaming firefox to iexplore and also ie6sp2. Neither worked.

In all instances portable FF launches and gives me the above error.

Anyone know anything else to try?

Thanks!

for some reason, lately, whenever i go to load a website, firefox will sometimes not load anything, on any pages, for up to a few minutes at a tim
at first, i thought it was the internet, but i could still be downloading something, inside of firefox, and miranda was still connecting just fine
it's really a pain in the ass, and i'd like to get it fixed

Hi
I have checked the settings but my history seems to disappear every time i finish with FFP.

anyone know what the problem may be?
