Firefox Portable

Since upgrading to this latest version it hangs about every 10 seconds. While hanging it is reading from my USB device (there is a light on it). Didn't have this on older versions. Any ideas?

I've tried with a few browsers:
Opera
FireFox (standard)
Internet Explorer (that horrible thing...)

All work fine reading "visited" CSS colour links.

Example:
body a:hover {
color: #FFF; text-decoration: none;
}
^^ That works fine

body a:visited {
color: #112233; text-decoration: none;
}
^^ Portable FireFox doesn't read this, or atleast not on any of the pages I've tried, whereas standard FireFox does, don't supose anyone could enlighten me on this predicament could they?

I just installed the 1.5.0.6 update from within firefox. When I launched the new browser everything was messed up. I lost my history, bookmarks, extensions, saved passwords, and my sessions from session manager. My firefox went back to the way it was about a month ago. Even extensions that I had uninstalled came back. Is there any way to recover this data? What caused this issue?

I have been using portable firefox on my hard drive, not usb drive. I believe I downloaded 1.5.0.2 or something near that and upgraded to everything in between with the updater in firefox. This problem only happene

I fill the Bookmarks Toolbar at the top with rows of folders. When I click on a folder and the menu drops down, the spacing between the bookmarks is alot wider than with Firefox 1.0.7. (This also applies to the regular menus - file, edit, view, etc.)

Is there a way to narrow this space? I want to see the full set of bookmarks in each folder that drops down (like in FF 1.0.7) without having to scroll below the bottom of the screen. Thanks.

I just helped a friend rebuild a Firefox profile after they crufted it up pretty good. (installing and uninstalling lots of extensions can do that) I was wondering if there were interest in having a how-to on fixing FF profiles and, possibly, a rebuilder that would save out your cookies, passwords, bookmarks, etc, and rebuild the rest of the profile (sans extensions). Whaddya think?

Before switching to portable apps I used to let Bon Echo and Thunderbird download the nightlies so I could try and report bugs on them.

Are there settings in Firefox Portable or Thunderbird Portable I may have missed that would allow this to continue?

Ever since Shockwave Flash did some upgrade on my Internet Explorer (yes it HAS to be on my machine), I cannot use my Firefox, as after viewing some pages with Flash, it crashes and closes.

VERY annoying.
Tried to uninstall Shockwave from the computer, did not help
Tried to install new 10.1 shockwave, did not help
Tried to use fresh, clean install of firefox portable, did not help
Tried to download shockwave plugin for the new Firefox, failed to install it.

Can you suggest any help????

Hi,
Does anyone out there know why my Firefox Portable does not save any History or Download info once I exit it. How can this be solved?

Thanks in advance

Forget the dern thumbdrive -- Why should I use regular ol' Firefox on my desktop?

Eh?

I am trying to use PortableFirefox from a CD but my homepage will not stay. I want it to be a file that is also on the cd. How can I make the homepage stay what I want?
