Firefox Portable

Today, I accepted the FireFox update to 9.0.1. Was a 2 MB download.

After I accepted, I realized that was FireFox which asked me to install this update. Wasn't the portable apps platform.

It is okay this way of update or I must replace the FireFox with portable version 9.0?

Thanks,

=== update ===
this trix has stopped working with v10 for some reason.

People have had problem to pin firefox portable in windows 7 so the right firefox profile starts and, at the same time, only get one single icon in the taskbar.

The problem have been:
1 - If you start firefoxportable.exe and then try to pin it, next time you start it you notice a new profile is started locally on the computer and not the profile you have used in firefoxportable. This is because firefox.exe is pinned.

Hello, here's my problem:

Untill not I was using Mozilla Firefox as my webbrowser. Now as I'm playing some browser game that requires me to delete cookies like 2-3 times a day it started to get annoying. My question is: can I have installed both: Mozilla Firefox and Firefox Portable on the same PC, that would have separate cookies? So when I play my game on portable and then I delete the cookies, my cookies from the regular Mozilla Firefox won't be deleted?

I know I could use another browser for my game, like opera or something but I simply don't want to.

I’d like to install Flash player in Firefox Portable 8.0.1. I read on this forum that an easy workaround is to copy the files from my local machine and paste them in the portable Firefox plugin folder under data. My home computer does have Flash and it works well. I looked for the files on my computer in system32\macromed\flash but didn’t find the files. My local machine runs Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit edition. Can you tell me where the Flash files are? Thanks.

I used windows 7 sp1 64bit. i used firefox portable 8.0.1. right click portable firefox, i see the jump list (task), but that broken icons. and i click the task, that show me an 'error'. i test Google Chrome Portable the jumplist(task) it works.

and installation firefox 8.0.1 also jumplist(task) also works. so, i think that a bugs. please test and fix. thanks.

also, i used firefox plugin call downthemall. that a download manager, when start download has a 'owner windows pop up'.

I was wondering, I've got cookies saved for a facebook game, but it doesn't seem to be carrying over b/w computers. Is there some setting that I am missing or is it not part of the portability and facebook?

whenever I try to install FF8.01 I get the same old message... please close all other versions of FF, portable, bla bla... even if NO OTHER VERSIONS OF FF are OPEN.
I checked the Process Explorer time and again, to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
Help,
thanks

Hi all I have a weird problem. I used portable firefox since v3.0.19 on the same machine at work and before version v3.6.24 I have used many other versions and all of them worked flawlessly (currently I am on v3.6.23 and there is no problems at all).

Recently I've tried to use v3.6.24 and v8.0.1 (while ago I also tried v7) and none of them works with JAVA applets. When I try the same website which works on the older browsers, this new ones just display the source code of the html site containing the applet (just a plain text like in a notepad).

Hi all,

I have a problem restoring my Firefox bookmarks from the backups. I loaded Firefox 8 and all my bookmarks had disappeared.

This is an old bug, if I remember correctly. Over half of my extensions in FFP 8.0.1 show up as being incompatible with Firefox 8.0.1 until I manually update all the extensions.

This occurred in 3.x, got fixed, and now I'm seeing it again here.

Edit:

Here is the last time this bug was around:

It was acknowledged to be a bug, and was *fixed*. Somewhere along the way, the bug came back.
