Firefox Portable

How do I copy the passwords over to Portable Firefox from my laptop? I imported my bookmarks with no problems. I do not want to copy my entire profile over.

on my home computer i was able to get the wanted harddrive bookmarks imported into the portable app on my usb drive. when i plugged the usb drive into the office computer i used pass2go to access PFF and the splash screen did not appear but FF did. pass2go wasnt working properly so i decided to open FF directly from the usb drive. got the splash screen and pass2go was then working properly, but my usb bookmarks are gone. did the harddrive access on the office computer overwrite my bookmarks?

thanks,

Just upgraded to 1.5.0.3 and found out that the customization is not be able to be saved. I picked small icon setting on the toolbar, but it kept resetting back to big icon. Any fix?

Another issue is I found out it is ignoring PortableFirefox.ini which I created and saved in the same directory with the exe.

When accessing the German Amazon Home Page (www.amazon.de) with PortableFirefox 1.5.03 none of the gif Pictures contained in the Page are shown,with the result that it is virtually unuseable. This also applies for the british Amazon WWW.Amazon.co.uk.

When calling the US Amazon (www.amazon.com) then the home page is displayed correctly with all included gifs.

Switching AdBlock on and off has no effect on the above described behaviour. The normal FireFox (non Portable) does not display the above effects it displays the German and UK Amazon correctly. The 2 FireFox versions are identical and have identical extension installed. Operating System is Windows XP German.

Hi all,

I've upgrated my portable Firefox to 1.5.0.3.
I've copied then my orig profile from the old version
into the new version within PortableFirefox\Data\profile.
Everything works fine (bookmarks, extensions...) except
my passwords - Firefox doesn't recognize my old passwords
anymore (I've copied the whole profile including signons.txt
and key3.db).
In case to post here this topic I had to register to this forum
and Firefox saved (after asking for it) my portableapps.com-forum
password without any problem - now I can see it under
'Options->Passwords->View Saved Passwords' as the only saved password.

If this is posted elsewhere I apologize, I was unable to find a solution. Transferring my local profile into Portable Firefox has never worked. At this point I understand there may be incompatible extensions, but ambiguous terms like "except cache directory" may be confusing me. I only see an extension.cache "file." Is there some specific file to file instructions, or possibly a diagram showing the correlating directory tree between local Firefox and the portable version, i.e. some way to match a particular local folder with its replacement portable version so I can copy my working profile? I recently downloaded the U3 version and need to know how to very carefully manipulate the two profiles.

I customized my Portable Firefox, and it works very well with only one exception. I keep seeing "DOM Inspector" feature in "Tools" Menu. I do not want it, but I don't know how to get rid of it. Most the work I did were in browser.xul, and I did not see any reference to it in this file. When I deleted "inspector.jar" from my finished output (firefox\chrome\) folder, my application broke.

Any ideas?

I read that John says that for some cards that ture. I was looking at getting a new usb (nothing slower than a 20X speed), but if flash is better, should i get fast flash SD card and reader instead?

I was looking at getting the Transcend JetFlash 110 2GB Flash Drive, which Tomshardward has recomended, and speed test suggest this too. But i've done a bit of searching and found that a 2gb SD + Reader is acutally chapaper. I'm no worried about price, rather performance and portability.

Whats everyones thoughts?

*Sorry i posted this on another post, but thought it's probably more relevan

John,

I know that TMP Session saver and extensions like that slow down PFF and PTB.

Do you or anybody else have a list that are not to say incompatible, but just not as USB/Flash friendly?

Can you suggest a way to improve mouse performance in pff? I'm operating pff from a portable USB 2.0 hard drive (seagate 6G pocket drive). The mouse is jerky while web pages actively load but smooths out when completely loaded. I've also noticed occasional lags while typing. Otherwise, pff is working brilliantly. I'm assuming this a data transfer issue. Is this to be expected or can improvements be made? kjp
