Why don't you just use

Why don't you just use Firefox Portable? I think you'll find pretty much all your problems to be gone.

Are you executing firefoxportable.exe or firefox.exe?

"I created a portable firefox with some bookmarks"

So I think that webmoly means she simply created portable firefox for personal use. I don't think that the original version of firefox says "firefoxportable.exe"

So..

Download and use Firefox Portable. You can still make all your customizations the same as you would with regular Firefox. There are only a few known FF addons that aren't portable so your best of using the package here as your assured of its initial portability then as you make your tweaks you can test to see if it maintains portability.

how to

hi

the question is how I can create a portable application.. firefox is just the one.. I got a bunch of application which is written by individual programmer which I need to make the portable.. they're not a popular application so.. I need to learn how to make it..

Instead of getting a fish, I'm trying to learn how to fish..

So ...

If your really hungry

you should just get a fish and not worry about how to fish like most of the world (if you know what I mean).

It will save you a lot of time and trouble.

nope

no.. it doesn't work all the time, especially when it comes to special applications which is not available in all countries.. which means you can't even find it in the net..

so any idea how to make that happen?

Well

What programs do you want to put on firefox?

-or-

What program are you using to create your version of firefox portable? Thinapp? Or are you simply keeping the folder "Mozilla Firefox" on your drive?

portable app creator

I used portable app creator which I download from here, I guess the last version..

I followed up the rules and finally I just copied the folder in my flash disk.

there is only one thing.. when I tried to use that in another PC the portable .exe file didn't work.. so I had to execute the original .exe file because the portable .exe file says that it can't locate the folder of application which was installed at first....

so?
