this is win2000 machine. usb is 1.1, I belive.
On my 8gig flash drive port firefox was working. Now that I have changed to a 1gig flash, I can not open firefox without shuting down and then restarting the machine and then opening the flash drive.
task list does not show a 2nd copy of firefox running..
I have non-portable firefox[FF]. It is not running at time I try to run prtable firefox. It will run seperatly, but I prefer to use portable FF.
any idea?
Thsi is work machine, so I am limited in changes I can make on machine. That is why I like portable FF.

Are you sure that there are no other firefox processes working at that time on the task manager?
If you're sure, I think that you can "cheat" a little bit by the following way:
1. On your the folder with Portable Firefox go to: "/Other/FirefoxPortableSource";
2. find the "FirefoxPortable.ini" and open it with a text editor;
3. On "AllowMultipleInstances" change false to true;
4. Now put that file on your the folder were you have Portable Firefox.
That way PortableFirefox will work even if you have other firefox running and no error will appear.
