I cant get my portable firefox to connect to the net through my school computers. Why not? I tried xfire portable to see if it would connect and it didnt. Whats wrong?

And before anyone complains about the grammar, I'm so jetlagged that my
hands aren't even in the same time zone...
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
Or try the ProxyGet utility. It's on this site somewhere.
Vintage!
It's on the Firefox Portable Support page:

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
lol rick you should have told me about this...
Ask your school how to get past the proxy and stuff
I also use Portable Firefox at my school, as the computers there are still running IE6... I would recommend the FoxyProxy extension to solve your problem. It allows you to create more than one proxy, and to select which one you want to use without having to change it on Firefox every single time: all you have to do is click on the FoxyProxy button on the toolbar and select a preset proxy :).
