Firefox Portable

Greetings,

I got the automated update form Firefox portable and after it was complete all my add ons are no longer working. It looks like I will ahve to re-install them all by hand.

Anyone else seen this problem?

Anyone know how to automate a recovery or to aviod the problem in the forst place?

but i ask myself :

I have a firefox portable on my usb flashdrive, i have moved it to my computer and used it on my computer for the last week or so, but i want to install firefox as a program, not have it portable, but i still want my tabs, passwords and favorites and plugins, how do i do this?

Is there a way to disable the splash screen? I recognize that the splash is probably some commercial compromise for PA, but I open and close browser windows dozens of times a day, it's really a distraction.

I searched the forums and didn't find any Firefox 2.0.0.6 specific help on this. Thank you!

I was wondering if its possible to install Google gears on Portable firefox?

If so, how to go about doing so.
If not, is anyone working on this yet?

Thanks
T.

Hi everyone,

I have a major problem/bug with Firefox portable, and I subscribed to the forum hoping that I am not the only one who had this issue, and hopefully that someone has a cure for it.

Symptoms:

• When I enter a URL that does not exist or a URL whose server is down, Firefox portable freezes for about 15-30 seconds before I finally get the page that says "Problem loading page / Server not found".

Frequency:

• Always.

Variants/examples:

At my school when I use FireFox portable, it won't find the page it just says: "Server cannot be found, check the URL...ect." It works fine on my computer, but I think its my school's settings for the internet. Is there anyway I can fix this?

I am seeing differences in behaviour between the "normal" install on my laptop and my PFF install on my USB drive.
Namely, my PFF is refusing to save passwords for sites.
I found an entry on mozilla support that stated there was a bug that was fixed in 2.0.0.3 (I think) so that led me to check versions.
On my laptop help about shows "version 2.0.0.6"
On my USB help about shows "version 2.0"
However on USB in Tools | Options | Advanced | Update History is states that 2.0.0.6 was successfully installed.

Any ideas?

How can I have multiple profiles with portable firefox?

Hi, I'd like to move my entire profile (not only the settings and bookmarks, but also, and expecially, the dozens of extensions I installed in PortableFirefox) on the Firefox installation that I have on Ubuntu (not portable, that is).
I tried to use the FEBE extension, but I wasn't able to select any profile to which restore the .fbu file, when it asks you for it.
