Firefox Portable

First post. Just found out about portable apps and I love it.

I was wondering if 99% of viruses come from the internet,(obviously an overstatement by me)if browsing the web with firefox portable if you are protecting yourself from viruses, etc from installing themselves on your pc. If you your are browsing the web with firefox portable and you do stumble on a Trojan, will it install itself on the pc or the usb drive?

I've been trying everything I can think of but I can't get around this error:

ERROR
Proxy Error

The proxy encountered an error.

Please try again later.

The thing is, I used ProxyGet and it says that I don't have a proxy. I am at work and the only websites that open are the intranet websites. Can't even get into google, which works fine on IE here along with a few other sites.

John,

There's still a few places where you use the terms "Portable Firefox" on the site. I'm not sure if it is intentional but I definitely found them on the following two pages:

https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization
https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable

You can use ctrl + f to find them. Just thought I'd let you know.

Hello,

I use Foxmarks to synchronize my bookmarks. I recently installed FFP2 and Foxmarks, but it's not working. It says it's working fine, but my bookmarks don't show up. It works fine on Firefox on my home and fork computers and even FF1.5 for U3. Anyone else have this problem?

Local path - Portable Firefox

I installed Portable Firefox on a key USB to carry a mini WebSite

=> DESCRIPTION:
The File « pref.js » in the folder « Portable Firefox contains the path below :

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "file:///G:/my-site/index.html");

When I connect the USB Key in my computer, everything works well

=> PROBLEM:
When I connect my USB key on a different computer, the letter that identify my key USB may be different on an another computer.

Very, very saddly, I have to report, that the current installer of the Firefox Portable 2.0.0.1 searches your drive and deletes other installations of Firefox.

Just a few minutes ago, I have installed the Firefox Portable 2.0.0.1 on my usb drive (into a folder named "FirefoxPortable"). On the same drive, in another folder (named "FirefoxPortable1"), there was my old installation of Firefox Portable.. Now it is entirely gone, the "FirefoxPortable1" folder is empty.. The settings, the history, the bookmarks, the extensions ..everythings deleted. I tried to undelete but it's of no good.

Does anyone know where I can get a theme for FireFox that will make it look exactly like Internet Explorer so I can us FireFox at the library without getting cought? Here's a link to show you what I'm talking about: http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s118/MobileDev/IE.jpg

Have anyone else tried to UPX firefox 2.0.0.1?

Im getting this error:

File size Ratio Format Name
-------------------- ------ ----------- -----------
upx: firefox.exe: CantPackException: compressing certificate info is not support
ed

Packed 1 file: 0 ok, 1 error.

2.0 worked fine, are there any solution?

Even though FF is checked as defaujlt in tools, every time I reopen FF it is not checked. So I rechek, then then the next time it will start when a link is clicked on in TB.

If don't recheck, when in TB and click on a link, most annoyingly it starts IE and does not ask if I want to start FF.. This occurs when traveling and using different computers

How do I set firefox p to open .zips with 7zip p, .pdfs with Foxit p, .mp3s/(other media) with VLC, etc?
