Firefox Portable

I have used Firefox Portable for a while (on a usb drive and in a truecrypt volume. Suddenly a few days ago, they stopped working. When I try to start them, nothing happens (no splash screen, nothing comes up). No error messages come up. If I look at task manager however, Firefox Portable is there and taking all the cpu it can (usually 98 or 99%). If I wait, nothing happens (its not just slow starting). I have to kill it or it just goes on forever. This is on WinXP, with all updates (who knows, the updates may have killed it - I can't think of any other changes).

I've read some post page and dont find the way to intall a new Theme...Is this posible??? How I have to do it??? Thanks a lot...

Here's what I noticed.
I installed an add-on on my desktop PC Firefox. I also saved the .xpi add-on file in a directory on the desktop PC after downloading it with Firefox (desktop version).

This vulnerability affects also Portable Firefox?

Because I didn't use it as much as thought I would, I decided to remove the Portable Apps Suite "container" from my USB drive and simply keep the portable programs I use the most.

Therefore, I pulled my entire "FireFoxPortable" folder to the desktop, removed the Portable Apps Suite by formatting my USB drive, and promptly dragged the FireFoxPortable folder back to my USB drive.

I thought that, since it's the exact same folder I have been using for months, that my profile, bookmarks, extensions, Greasemonkey scripts, etc. would all work the same as before.

Is it OK to install extensions and still keep Firefox portable?

I checked the FAQ but it didn't answer my question. My family does not want any exe file changing the registry so I installed Firefox portable on the USB drive and it works really well thank you! But I want to install a few extensions from mozilla's add-on list too, would that keep Firefox portable?

Why portablefirtefox open 4 ports (1605, 1606, 1607, 1608 ) and now conects to some web sites?

Until now this ports where localhost but now the get sites.

Is there a way to make .rm and .ram real media files play without downloading? Some do, but they have an address to a server, not the file. When it's just a file link, it downloads first.

I read in the forum that somone had a problem with installing the shockwave plugin without administrator rights, same here
Sorry, but the thread was closed so I created a new one...

Do this:
* Download the shockwave installer (.exe)
* Extract it using unpackingsoftware, such as WinRar or TugZip.
* copy the files into the firefox plugin directory (same as for flash above). No subdir is allowed, just dump all of it in the plugin-directory.
* restart firefox

Tested it with a random shockwavegame and it worked!

just came to know about portable apps and firefox. at work its very restricted can someone tell where to start from so i can access internet at work.
thanks
