I used Firefox portable 12.0 and I found it created lots of .tmp files. Please see the following sceeenshot, those .tmp files were created in several minutes.

I can't reproduce this. Are you launching it in any non-standard way? Also, please list your operating system, install location, any plugins and extensions you are using, etc. I'd wager it's a misbehaving plugin or extension.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks for your reply.
My OS is Windows 7 SP1 64bit. I downloaded the FirefoxPortable_12.0.paf file and installed it in PortableApps.com_Platform application. Then I copied the whole FirefoxPortable folder to D:\Program Files\.
Following is the addons I used.

BTW, I also tried to make a new copy of FirefoxPortable, but the same issue occured.
Is d:\Program Files your actual program files location for windows? If so, that's not a supported location and is why the unstaller prevents you from using it. Please try a clean install to a different location. Also ensure you have a valid TEMP directory defined and there is plenty of space in it.

c: is my os drive. I created d:\Program Files and put many 'green' applications in it. I have used Firefox portable lots of months and seems I only get this issue these months.
BTW, Firefox portable is a portable application, right? So I can put it in any folder I want.
What did you mean by "ensure you have a valid TEMP directory defined"? My C: drive and D: drive have enough space.
from what I understand, Windows treats programs in a "Program Files" folder differently (breaking the portability of FireFox Portable?) and that is (I think?) causing the problem.
I copied the whole firefoxportable folder to D: drive and got the same issue.
do you have platform installed on d: drive?
if so firefox portable should go in PortableApps folder ... always works for me
Hi
I have seven x64 too, for resolve the problem,
I have done :
- Ctrl+alt+del
- right click on the firefox process
- Click on "full memory dump" ( I am not sure of the traduction, i am french^^ )
- delete all .tmp in the firefox file
After this, that must work correctly
