Firefox Portable

I seem to have one of those slow flash drives [4 BG Sandisk Cruiser Mini] so FireFox is really slow. I'm trying some of the tweaks mentioned in this forum (rebuild/reduce extensions/etc.) but I'm wondering if i can handle this in a different way:

Can I install only a profile on my flash drive so when I plug it into a PC with Firefox already on it I'm good to go, using the program on the PC and the profile on the flash drive?

If I can do this, and someone advises me how, then I'll just use my flash drive profile at the office and keep the program on the flash drive for "emergency uses when I'm at a PC without FireFox.

Has anyone successfully installed the quicktime plug-in for portable FireFox and if so how do you achieve this as the plugin manager says that it has to be a manual install which directs me to download the iTunes setup file ?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hello and a happy new year,

it would be great if there would be an option for Portable Firefox to automatically apply the Internet Explorer connection settings when starting Portable Firefox on a new computer.

At home I have a direct internet connection, at work I have to use a proxy configuration url.

Keep up the good work,
René

Hi,

First, I wish all of you (and your family) the best for 2006.

Since a few days, the standard search (next to the address bar in Portable Firefox) is no longer working.
I can type a query, I can press "Return" on the keyboard, but nothing happens.
The icon of the search (by default is Google), it no longer visible. And I cannot change to another search engine.

When I rename my profile, and work with the one that came with the installation of Portable Firefox, the search works. So something is wrong with my profile.
Does this mean I have to create a new profile? Or does someone know how to fix it?

First thing, i cant log into these wonderful forums in the very thing they promote.....portable firefox

Second thing i was wondering if it is possible to make custom searches for the quicksearch bar, i would like one for play.com

I'd first like to thank you for making these apps portable. I'm working on some projects with USB drives and this comes in very handily. I'll post more about my projects soon.
Now for the issues...
Why isn't PFF1.5 executables and dll's compressed? I compressed them myself and shrunk it down about 40%. Less USB access = faster startup

Also, I have my profile and other personal settings in a seperate directory. It took me a while, but I figured out that I had to move the PortableFirefox.ini to the same location as PortableFirefox.exe and for the ProfileDirectory setting, I had to use "..\personal\FFProfile" to specify the directory which contains my profile.

I know that GreaseMonkey is now supported by PortableFirefox but is it the same for MeasureIt ?

This is probably unsupported, but don't yell at me. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I can't get Java working on portable firefox

I already had portable firefox working nicely, downloaded Deer Park 1.6 Alpha 2, compressed all the dlls and exes with upx and put it into my /firefox/ directory (where the core firefox stuff is). Java applets do not load, but sun's website detects java. All my plugins are in he /plugins/ directory. On Deer park on my computer, Java Works, and on portable firefox 1.5 java works. But it's not working on Deer park.

Im using Portable Firefox 1.5, and when i load it from my thumbdrive it will forget the toolbar and extension settings i had set the previous time i opened it. Why is this happening?

I have just installed portable firefox to my usb, now I have a large grey zone at the bottom of the screen, about 15%, is this normal?
