Hi,
If I "install" PF to a folder on my local hard disk, PF works, but if I move that installation to a folder on my external USB hard disk, it crashes out with an illegal operation error and then prompts to send the crash log to Microsoft - you know the dialog! Anyway of fixing this? I'd like to make it truly portable and have just one installation for PF!
Cheers

Has there been an update 1.0.8pre?
Where can i find more info on this. How do i get a german language .xpi for it?
With Firefox 1.5.0.7 de.xpi it said "Can't be installed - wrong version"
I'm so annoyed of having to re-install my Extensions when there is a new FFP release, is there an easier way? thanks
I've not been able to figure out a pattern yet, but the menus in FFP1.5.0.7 are frequently getting disabled and I can't seem to get them back without restarting. Any ideas how I can track this down?

I have Portable Firefox ver. 1.5.0.7. Normally I copy the Complete folder to the desktop of the computer I'm using at the time, because it runs very slow from my pendrive, a Transcend TS128MJF2A, and the extensions and themes that I have installed are the following:
Well before my iPod shuffle died (like two minutes ago) I was using Firefox Portable on it and I noticed something strange. When I was viewing both my themes and extensions the icon pictures where layering themselves when I scrolled up and down.
What I mean is that when I scrolled down the "icon" of the extension above would scroll down with making appear behind the current one I was viewing. And when I looked at it closely I noticed that I did for the one below it to. I was going to take a picture of it to show... but my shuffle died. So I almost USB flash driveless. Anyway yeah if anyone
Here we go again...
After running Firefox_Portable_1.5.0.7_en-us.exe inside the folder 'D:\FP' and then running FirefoxPortable.exe inside the folder 'D:\FP\FirefoxPortable' I recieve the infamous "Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Firefox Portable." error.
Needless to say, I did a search for 'another instance' in the Forum and remain at a loss as to how to correct this.

Some of the forum posts are silly like "don't change the name from Portablefirefox.exe to firefox.exe". Others downright stupid "Just restart the computer, it could be a extension running?". This one is almost criminal "put the .ini file in the same folder as the PortableFirefox.exe"
I'd like to use a different splash screen than the default, but I'm completely new to programming and only know bits and pieces of Python. Is there any way to change the splash screen without having to uncompile and recompile anything? Specifically, I'd like to use this one:

Firefox just released the RC3 version:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0rc3/
Please make the portable version
Thanks
