I am a native Japanese.
Only a little English is not allowed. I'm sorry.
Firefox Portable 3.0 to download and run.
Then, "Only first run", NSIS error.
A lot of FirefoxPortable.exe process has been created.
NSIS error OK button, "Browser Crasher", like many Firefox window opens.

This is, FirefoxPortable.exe, 2-byte characters (Japanese), including when placed in the path.
Example
C:\(Japanese)\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe occur.
C:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe does not occur.
The problem is, Firefox Portable 3.0 RC2 does not occur, I think.
I'd like to fix please.
2-byte characters, such as confusing characters have been made I'm sorry!

Please double-check that the error does not occur on 3.0 RC2 as I'm quite sure that if 3.0 fails 3.0 RC2 fails as well. You can get 3.0 RC2 here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151265&package_id...
Like all apps here, it is designed to primarily be run from:
X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable
... where X is the drive letter of your portable device. Most apps should run from other paths. 2-byte Unicode characters in the path can break many of the apps, though and have never been supported.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I have checked.
Firefox_Portable_3.0_RC2_en-us.paf.exe
C:\(Japanese)\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe not occur
C:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe not occur
Firefox_Portable_3.0_en-us.paf.exe
C:\(Japanese)\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe occur
C:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe not occur
Other check
Use Firefox_Portable_3.0_en-us.paf.exe
1.C:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe first run. not occur.
2.copy C:\FirefoxPortable C:\(Japanese)\FirefoxPortable
3.C:\(Japanese)\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe second run. not occur.
I think the cause of this problem "Firefox's Session Store setting" window, I think.
First run, 3.0 RC2 does not have a this setting windows.
But, 3.0 have one.
I want you to check it about "Firefox's Session Store setting".
>About 2-byte Unicode characters
OK, I understand. Thanks.
I'm running out at the moment, but I'll double check this tomorrow. If there's a way we can ensure it works that'd be great.
One test, see if it occurs with RC2 if you delete the Data directory. In that case it tries to restart itself to show the license (similar to the Session Store dialog). And I think it is this restarting that may be causing the issue.

Firefox_Portable_3.0_RC2_en-us.paf.exe
1.Install C:\(Japanese)\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe
2.Delete C:\(Japanese)\FirefoxPortable\Data folder
3.C:\(Japanese)\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe first run. occur
Not show "License Agreement" window and NSIS Error.
1.Install C:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe
2.Delete C:\FirefoxPortable\Data folder
3.C:\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe first run. not occur
Show "License Agreement" window and run firefox.
I do not mind by after tomorrow.
Thank you for letting me respond.
I'm encountering the same problem.
It's not only the first-time start up which is affected though, but also the addons installed. Whenever I place the firefox folder into a directory with 2-byte Unicode characters (in my case it's Chinese), the addons cannot function properly (the same goes for both RC2 and the final release).
Say for example the options windows for the addons no longer pops up (every time I click on the options button the window just halts there and nothing pops up), and the icons for the extensions don't show in the addons window.
Thanks for your time reading the post!
Just now I discovered that the problem's caused by Antivir's File Guard, but not firefox portable itself. (when I tried to turn of Antivir's File Guard, everything worked fine without any problem; when I turned it back on, the problems persisted)
I'm sorry if I've caused any inconvenience to you, and again thank you for your attention!
