I got portable firefox on my school computer which are proxy enabled. Im new to the portable firefox scene and dont know how to get FF connected to the internet.

btw, once connected to the internet will the school firewalls still block my sites? (ign, digg, etc.)

I have FFP 1.5.0.7 and to run FFP i have to open the file twice to start FFP. and after closing firefox i open task manager and FFP is still running after FF closes, i think this is related to FFP not recognizing that firefox hasn't restarted, also the themes are not applied after it is 'restarted'. i tried something that was in another post i deleted extension.rdf and that seems to have fix some of the problems up. but there is still the fact that Firefoxportable doesn't close by it's self. can you help me?

I know that the default browser check is intentionally disabled in the portable version of firefox. Neverthless I would like to enable this check.

The reason: I do use the portable firefox located on a normal HD of my PC. The advantage is, that I can run it in several different OS- Installations. So I do have usually 3 or more installations of Windows on my PC that reside on different partitions. With Portable Firefox I won't have to configure the whole bookmarks etc. after a fresh install but can use immedately the familiar Firefox.

But I'm tired of setting firefox manually several times as default browser after some testings or Updates when IE has set itself to the standard browser again.

Does the new 1.3.1 launcher not support

UserProfileDirectory=Data\userprofile

as a Userprofile setting in the firefoxportable.ini?

In the past I have used this as an INI:

[PortableFirefox]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
UserProfileDirectory=Data\userprofile
AdditionalParameters=
AllowMultipleInstances=true
SkipChromeFix=false
SkipCompregFix=false
WaitForFirefox=false
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
DisableSplashScreen=true
LocalHomepage=

I would like to use the UserProfileDirectory option in the new launcher as well.

I've both flash player and flashblock installed both latest version, but flashblock disable flash player, I must disable flashblock and restart FF to use flash, any idea ?

I've been using FF portable for many months. After the latest automatic update (1.5.0.7) I noticed that all the search engines are gone from the search toolbar. Therefore when I type a string and press "return" nothing happens. I followed the link to "add engines", but the mozilla page at that link does not offer google anywhere on it, only a bunch of other search engines. Not having the quick google search will really cripple the appeal of using firefox for me. Can anyone help?

Also, when opening multiple instances of the firefox window, the bookmarks toolbar keeps reappearing even though I deselect it. Can I force firefox to always ignore this toolbar? I don't use it.

Lately, Firefox Portable will not remember any of my settings. If I make changes to the toolbars (add icons,etc) it does not remember those changes when I restart. It also won't remember if I had a bookmark sidebar open. What can I do?

Thanks,

I set up Firefox Portable 1.5.0.7 as the instructions stated for running on a CD. I have it being burned to a CD using BartPE (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/) as the boot environment.

When I boot from this disc, I'm running into two problems:

1. Firefox Portable tells me it won't run from a Read Only drive, however, I thought it was supposed to be able to run from a CD. So, what's going on?

2. If I try to bypass the first issue by copying the Firefox Portable directory onto a hard drive and running it from there, it never comes up. The task manager shows both firefox.exe and firefoxportable.exe processes running, but I don't actually have a window.

I'm looking for Ryan's app to make PFF the default browser but his site doesn't seem to be working ... anywhere else to get this?
