Firefox Portable 3.6 RC1 Upgrade Notes from a user

For those who are upgrading Firefox Portable to 3.6 RC 1, I thought I should give you the following notes.

1) Disable All-in-One Sidebar (AiOS) before upgrading, if you have this installed -- This add-on will cause a major visual malfunction & render 3.6 RC 1 inoperable.

2) Install Add-on Compatibility Reporter( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 ) -- This will allow you to enable add-ons that aren't originally supported for 3.6 RC 1 & lets you submit report for those so you can help the add-on developers as well as other users.

Bookmarks

My current fox got borked by Flash. Despite serious repair efforts to correct the problem.....so far no go, so I reverted to my last good Fox backup (maybe 2 months old).

However I'm having a difficult time bringing my current bookmarks to my 2 month old backup. Both versions have 'Bookmark Backup' extension installed if it will be of any help.

I HATE ADOBE, well maybe not hate but...................

Problem with new 3.5.7 italian version

Submitted by kuabba82 on January 8, 2010 - 5:42am

Hi. I've tried to update my firefox portable in italian, but I have seen there's a problem. The update file for italian version is about 400 kb, too small...and when I tried to update firefox didn't work...
Luckyly I've a copy on my HDD so I can use previous version, but I hope you'll work to re-update the italian version correctly.
Thanks.

Firefox updates itself on hard drive

Submitted by webwbr on December 31, 2009 - 4:25pm

OK, this is weird.

I'm running Portable Firefox (3.5.5) from a flash drive on my work PC (XP) that does NOT have Firefox installed on it.

Every once in a while, a Firefox shortcut will show up on the desktop and low and behold an installation of Firefox in the program files folder. I uninstall it and sure enough a day or two later, it installs itself again. I never see the installation window for this happen.

Is Portable Firefox trying to up[date itself, but somehow installing a fresh version on the hard disk? I'm perplexed.

Now I own computer, so I plan to switch from FF to FF portable non-portable. It's as simple as just copying the entire profile? or there are files that are not compatible? For example is that the bookmarks are easy to export but i dont know how doit with other things (history, extensions, etc etc)

P.S.: sry for my bad english - google traslator ^_^
