Firefox Portable

With a normal installation, everything is ok.
Only the portable ff versions exhibit this behavior.

Make a clean installation and change two parameters.
a) Restore tabs from the last session
b) Don't load tabs until selected

Install the CopyAllUrls extension.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copyallurls/

Change the option and add title before URL.

Now open some different sites and restart FF.

Click on Edit -> Copy All Urls -> Copy
and paste the result in an editor window.

Result with normal installation

Title Tab1
Url Tab1

Title Tab2
Url Tab2

Ok... I got to ask. The curiosity is killing me What is the deal with all the major releases of Firefox (or Thunderbird for that matter). Anyone know?

I think it started with 7.0 then 7.0.1, 8.0 the 8.0.1, same pattern on up to 10.0.1. There doesn't seem to be that many changes (that I can see) between the releases that would justify a major release.

I thought this would be as good a place as any to ask with out having to register on yet another site.

I have 2 computers and work on one during the day and the other during the evening. I want to continue working in the evening where I left off during the day. To do this I have FFP and TBP installed on both computers and a flash drive. Before leaving the day computer I synchronize with the flash drive with the computer being the source. When I get to my evening computer I synchronize that computer with the flash drive with the flash drive as the source. This way the 3 copies are the the same.

I'm running Firefox 10.0.1 under Win7, but the problem isn't really new. I find that after running Firefox over a day and opening and closing many tabs my whole machine slows down drastically. Killing firefox and restarting fixes that. My annoyance is that exiting Firefox very rarely kills it.

Exit Firefox. Wait a minute or so. Start Task Manager. There you see Firefoxportable.exe and firefox.exe still running. Note that CPU usage is still high. Use Task Manager to kill them. CPU usage drops dramatically. Restart Firefox and all is well.

I use 9.0.1 successfully
But when I go to install 10.0.1
- and I have downloaded it three times
to be sure there was no download error.
- it always says it has to close
as soon as I try to open it.

I have done this when not running Firefox and when running it.

Don't know what to do.

I've enabled CACHE for Firefox 10 portable, I have changed:
"browser.cache.disk.parent_directory = C:\Windows\Temp"
It works all find and dandy, pages load much faster then over riding cache to 0.

However this is the issue. It keeps resetting the pathing from C to U (my thumb drive). I will not keep MY pathing I enter. Here is my setup. I run Ff10p from my C drive while at home. I sync it to my U thumb drive when I go to work. I run it from my U (thumb drive) while at work, and that is where it changed my entered path to U instead of keeping it C.

In the support you say "Note that only one profile can be used at a time, even with MultipleInstances turned on in the advanced launcher INI. This is a limitation of Firefox itself."

But i can tell you that multy profiles can be used simultaneously when firefox.exe is started with -no-remote parameter. So you need to fix FirefoxPortable.exe and FirefoxPortable2ndProfile.exe to use "firefox.exe -no-remote".

Hello all, I am new to the concept of portable firefox and would like to know if the app can be packaged in a specific way with .ini modifications and such. I used to use mozilla prism which allowed bundling where I could do things like pre set disable status bar and then share this version.

My idea is to use portable for my group with pre enabled add-ons and some configurations. Is it possible? Perhaps a knowledgeable developer would like to assist for pay. Desperate for such a solution.

Thank you,

Hi,

I just recently updated from version 9 to 10. Under both versions I was unable to get the Bookmark Manager Toolbar button to appear. When I click View>Toolbar>Customize the button appears on the toolbar, but as soon as I close the pop-up, the button disappears. I tried dragging the button off and back on again and the issue remained.

I'm also missing the orange configuration button on the top left.

Any ideas what is going on or how to fix this?

Thanks.

Hi, I'm presently using version 9.0.1 with windows 7 64 bit.
I was alerted that I need to update to version 10.0. I did. After updating when I try to start FFP I get this (screenshot below) and I can't seem to get past it. I reinstalled 9.0.1 from my saved copy and everything is fine again, yet it's telling me for security reasons I need to update to version 10.0. Any idea on what went wrong when I installed the new version and how I can fix it so as it will work properly?

Thank you!
