Firefox Portable

I've been using FF Portable for years and for the last six months it's gotten progressively worse that the entire FF GUI will freeze and Firefox itself will become frozen and usable while a webpage loads.

I've tried to be very careful about limiting the number of extensions I have installed but sometimes I cringe when I access a blog or website containing tons of images or scripts because I can literally no longer use Firefox until it has completely downloaded the entire content of the page.

I downloaded the portable version of FF so I could use the bookmarks I already have for FF on my home computer. The million dollar question is... how do I get the bookmarks from my home computer's FF to the portable?
When I click on import, it only shows IE (which I rarely use).
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I am reposting this to give a better view of what I need. I have constructed a web page for viewing MSDS pdf files to be burned on a CD. I chose FFP to make it easy to use on many computers that have different windows and IE versions. Now I need to start FFP and have it start my file MSDSCD/CBI/index.html. I have tried to save that in my home page, but it either tries to access the internet or does nothing at all. When I assign a drive to the file e:/MSDSCD/CBI/index.html it works.

I've been experimenting with ways to speed up firefox Portable on slow Flash drives and the slow computers at Universities etc.

Here's my tricks:

Slow Flash:
-Remove any extensions and themes you don't use on the go, save them for your PC. This boost start up times drastically.
-Disable the disk cache, it's on your USB memory, its use is clogging up the drive for other read write operations firefox will want to do. This is done in "about:config", set "browser.cache.disk.enable" to "False". Keep the memory cache.

Hello All. I'd like to be able to sync between my Desktop and my flash drive so that I always have the same information on both. Please can someone advise me? Thanks

Hi,

I was trying to play on a game website (pogo.com), and it said I was missing the plug-in "Java Runtime Environment." I searched the plug-ins, and there are 2 java programs. I installed both, and neither have helped.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am trying to use FF portable as my default browser (Vista Ultimate 64bit). Everything works fine (add-ons, etc), except that if I try to open a _local_ html file I get the error message:

"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

I can open a local file only if firefox is not already running. Below is my FFP ini:

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins

I am putting together a CD of MSDS files(.pdf) in a web page format. I need to have employees put the CD in and start "CBI\index.html" through FF Portable. All of our computers have autostart disabled. Can I use a start CD app file to do this? Consider that there are about 40 computers at my company and the CD drives are not the same drive letter.

I'm not sure what happened. I've been using (and LOVING) Firefox Portable for several versions and upgrading without a problem, but this time the update seems not to recognize my previous settings. They're still there in :\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile, but they're not being used -- I'm just getting the default look.

I want to firefox opening login screen password.
Can I do ?
