Hi, I'd appreciate some help please. I've installed FF 2.4, (initially upgraded, then clean install, then re-install using the PortableApps gui), the icon does not appear in the list of applications, so I can't run it without browsing to the PortableApps\FirefoxPortable dir, once there FF starts correctly. I understand that running FF in this way will stop the "portability" from working - is this a registry issue? is it relevent to my problem. What can I do to get the Firefox app appear in the menu?
Thanks in advance.

If you run \PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\firefox.exe, it breaks portability so you always have to run D:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe
If you run FirefoxPortable.exe, it is portable no matter if you run it through the menu or brows it manually.

Thanks for this, unfortunately it's not what I've done. The app is portable, but my problem is that the Firefox icon does not appear in the Portable Apps menu. PortableApps is such a good app and it's very slick in use - It defeats the whole purpose to have to explore the USB key to run the browser. The files all look ok in PortableApps\FirefoxPortable etc, and clicking on PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe starts it properly. Can anyone please help me get the icon to appear?
Thanks
your Menu version?
Windows version?
Screen resolution?

Have you exited the Portable Apps Menu and restarted it since installing Portable FF?
I ask because PAM only looks for new applications on startup.
