Firefox Portable

I usually use 2 computers, but sometimes I need to work on others. I have installed Firefox Portable on my USB flash drive and works well on both computers. The only problem is I have difficulty making FFP the default web browser. I guess, since it is portable, maybe it's not supposed to be.

So, what I would like to do is install full Firefox on the 2 machines and configure them to use the profile that is on the USB flash drive (with FFP). In this way all 3 Firefoxes would use the same profile. Only one computer is used at a time. Is this feasible?

One of the cool features of the Google Toolbar for Firefox is that you can create a custom search by right-clicking on any search engine's text input box.

I have like 10 such custom searches in my toolbar, but they are all missing if I run my copy of Firefox Portable on another machine.

Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this?

Thanks, K.

Anybody knows how to fix?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I am new to this FF Portable. I have a question regards on proxy setting.

If my PC- A , it is using "proxy configuration script" to run on the local drive and in my FF Portable, I have select it as "AUTO Select Proxy.." and it seems not working. Until I have copy the same " proxy configuration script" like my PC-A into the FF Portable , then it only able to run.

I just installed firefox 3.04. Before I could just copy my bookmarks.html to the /Data/profile directory and it would use that. Firefox 3 will not use this and I can not find any place where it is pulling the bookmarks from. I can import them and it will save them but I can't find any html file that it is pulling them from. I would like the ability to manually copy them again. Any help would be apprecitated!!!

Thank you,
Dan

Hi,
I understand that Firefox portable itself doesn't store anything in the local computer, but does the plugins and the add-ons that we are using on the firefox portable storing anything on the computer?
I'm currently using Shockwave Plugin, Dictionaries & Language Packs and DownloadHelper 3.5.1(which I chanegd the download location).

Oh, and when I go to K:\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins, I can only find np32dsw.dll, does that mean DownloadHelper is not installed on the usb key or something like that?

Thanks in advance

The other day I posted a topic saying that all of my bookmarks disappeared (I have since restored them due to the nifty "bookmarkbackups"). That feature saved my life! Anyway, when I was backing up my portable apps, I received the following two eror messages:

Cannot copy XUL: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
Cannot copy backup-6.session: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

My first question, is what exactly is the role of the XUL.mfl file and why may it have been corrupted? Perhaps an unsafe removal of my thumb drive?

I setup in Tools\Options\Main When my firefox starts: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instaed of "Show my home page".

When I have a website shown and exit firefox portable, then launch again my home page shows instead of the website I had before.

What could be wrong?
Thank you
