Firefox Portable

"Firefox is already running" problem when clicking a file, not solved with suggested workarounds

Submitted by nonhocapito on December 20, 2006 - 2:18pm

I use FirefoxPortable on my pc (other than my usb drive)

On the PC Firefox is set as the default browser but nonetheless whenever I click on a file or call an URL in any other external way (another program) I get the "Firefox already running" message.

To be precise I get this message: "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system"

Now, this message is given when 1) firefox isn't running at all (verified to the processes), or 2) it is running and also responding very well!!

now, 1) I haven't renamed FirefoxPortable,

Close all tabs

Is there a way, as in IE7 when closing Firefox, to give you an option to reopen all your tabs when you restart Firefox?

Often at the end of day, I'll have many tabs open I want to resume where I left off the night before.

It told me to update to 2.0.0.1, but it also said that it would disable addons that show as incompatible, including some for which I specified to have compatibility checking turned off. Will the update honor my settings or will it override them and disable all incompatible extesnions?

Extensions aren't installing!

I've installed Firefox Portable -latest version on my USB stick, and I've had to manually install all my extesions again. But no matter how many times I restart Firefox, remove the drive, etc. the extensions always say "restart firefox to complete installation." Can anyone help me get them to work properly? I'd be very grateful!
Thanks!
