Firefox Portable

I want to use Portable Firefox to run Firefox from my university's network space (which was recently increased to make this practical). However I want to share the main firefox directory with other users to save some space, letting each user keep just his/her own profile. (User copies PortableFirefox exe and a default ini and profile dir.) This also makes Firefox updates quick and easy.

I tried setting FirefoxDirectory in PortableFirefox.ini, but it does not work.

Is it possible to add support for absolute paths in the launcher? This will help a lot in this case.

The lines I tried that gave me a "firefox.exe not found" error:

1st : Sorry for my poor english.

2nd : Thanks for your work, John, I really appreciate using PFF and all your apps.

3rd : My problem.
After I've used PFF, the cache of my local FF is automaticaly cleared. Which is a problem with a 56k connection (I'm in a small island, no high speed internet here).

So, how can I prevent this from happening ?

hi, i get this infos when i access to my portable firefox link "connection has timed out...If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection. how do i check it?
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web (how to have this infos)".thanks a lot for help.

I have a PQI I-Stick thumb drive that has been reliable until I installed Portable Firefox. Now either the drive either gets corrupted or erased while I use FireFox. Anyone else have these issues?

Thanks

Portable firefox was working well but last night the application decided to update itself to a newer version that doesn't seem to work. I have a backup of my drive so it is not a huge problem but I would like to know if I can stop it updating itself or whether there is a new version of potable firefox I should be using?

Here at work we go through a proxy as such I get a error:
Proxy server is refusing connections.
Is there a way around this?
What do I need?

I'm trying to install Flash onto my PFF installation. I've added the site to the whitelist and when I try to download the extension as per the instructions at https://portableapps.com/support/portable_firefox#plugins, I get "Firefox could not install the file at http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer... because: Download error".

I've tried using the likes of MozRegKey, downloading the installer manually and installing directly to the plugins folder, copying the necessary dll to the plugins folder (which is only Flash 6) and still having no luck.

Is it possible to embed such a encryption into the portable firefox so that the host system is not needed to make a secure connection!?

e.g. Win 98/NT need the High Encryption Pack installed so the portable firefox can use the 128-bit enryption.

or if this is not possible is there a stand-alone secure application which can used for example on a usb stick which also contains the portable firefox and give him the possibility to make such a secure conection?

It seems that despite the fact that partial updates worked in testing (1.5 RC1 to 1.5 RC2), they are failing in the field. The second full update will work, though. I'm going to try and figure out what's up as, in theory, they should be working. I'll file a bug with bugzilla if need be.

John
