Firefox Portable

I'm trying to use Firefox Portable from my USB thumb drive, but I can't seem to get it to work. The splash screen will appear and the program appears in the task manager processes window, but after the splash screen dissapears, so does the firefox process. It just shuts down with no warning or error. I've had this same result on every University computer I've used. When a program is blocked, an error appears and tells you that it's been blocked, so I have no idea what might be causing this.

I sometimes use Portable GAIM and that works fine, if this helps.

Correct me if I am wrong, when Firefox updates, I don't use the Firefox updater, instead I am supposed to update Portable Firefox, right?

I use Cross Platform Firefox (CPFF) since I use Mac OSX 10.4 and WinXP Home.
I copied my profile from the PC.
When I open CPFF on the Mac, all my (15) extensions appear. When I open CPFF on XPH, only a handful appear (6) and some of them say "...will be upgraded when Firefox is restarted". I've shut down the fly drive, plugged it back into the Mac and when I return to XPH the same issue exists. All my bookmarks are present, it is just the extensions that are problematic.
What am I doing wrong?

How can the \PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\browserstate-logs files be automatically deleted, or prevented from being saved in the first place? My drive had about 600 MB of these files on it from just three or four days. The 600 MB filled my 2 GB drive to capacity and I was worried about data loss since there was NO room left on the drive!

i'd like to test Firefox 3 on my box, and my site with the new rendering engine, but i don't like to kill the well working tons of custom plugins inside my Firefox 2 Install...

When will we see a Firefox 3 Build as PortableApp?

I don't have a portable drive available to me any longer so my only real option is a CD medium.

Anyway, I'm looking to put the profile on a specific path on the computer's hard drive rather than in my Portable Firefox dir.

How do I do this?

Why is there a default browser option when obviously it has no effect?

Also has any consideration been made as to how downloading updates may effect stability of the program?

I love Google Browser Sync (I'd love it if they could figure out how to sync it with IE favorites).
I understand that when using this extension, with Portable Firefox, it takes a long time to write to the fly drive. Are there other browser sync extensions out there that don't have this 'problem'?
Thanks!

Hi,

A friend has it on his usb stick.
Works fine with my XP Home but fails to go any further than logo screen when he tries it out on a Milenium.

I love portable apps, but I want a way to be able to use the firefox on my computer, and sync it with the firefox on my flash drive, and vice versa - with all the settings and bookmarks (cookies too, if possible) I've tried many things, but nothing works. Is there a simple way to do this?

I would also like to do it with thunderbird and the other programs.
