Firefox Portable

Windows XP Home
Firefox Portable 3.6.16
Divx Web Player 1.5
Greasemonkey 0.9.8
ICE QUICK STREAM 4.0

After installing divx webplayer 1.5 I copied the following files into the firefox portable plugins folder

SKIN folder

libdivx.dll
npdivx32.dll
npdivx.tlb
npdivx.xpt
ssldivx.dll

Ok so Ive installed this on Firefox Portable 3.6.16, and now Ive installed it on Firefox Portable 6.0.2. And although it works sometimes ,it wont work on the Official Mozilla Test pages.Maybe someone can look at what I did wrong,or maybe those links are outdated and arent connected to any media anymore

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS TO GET THE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER PLUGINS

npdrmv2.dll Microsoft® DRM
npwmsdrm.dll Microsoft® DRM

New WMP plugin for Windows XP and above

I've been using the Portable Apps version of Firefox for a couple of years, and it works great for me. The version I'm using, according to the About item on the Help menu, is 3.6.13, which I assume corresponds with the same native Mozilla version.

I thought it was time to upgrade to version 4, so I came here expecting to find a version 4 of the Portable App. Instead, the current version here is 6.0.2. WTF?

I click on "Other Versions," and the next lowest version number is 3.6.22.

I was able to lock preferences (e.g. proxy settings) on previous versions, but since FF4 the file all.js seems to be missing and I can't enable mozilla.cfg anymore.

Is there a workaround or any other way to prevent users from messing up the settings?

Thanks!

Some online tutorials suggest a solution to the portable Quicktime Plugin problem for Firefox Portable:

Copy the following files (from QuickTime Lite install package) to the below path:
\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins

QuickTimePlugin.class
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
npqtplugin.dll
npqtplugin2.dll
npqtplugin3.dll
npqtplugin4.dll
npqtplugin5.dll

But it's still not workable.
Is there a way like installing flash plugins for Firefox Portable (copying the files to %APPDATA%) for Quicktime?

Like topic name, is it important ? Can I delete it ?

Thank!

I reliazed that this folder appear after I upgrade from Firefox Portable 4.0 -> 5.0/6.0.

Can I delete this folder ? Normal Firefox don't have this file, seem it used to update extensions.sqlite data in Firefox profile folder.

When I go to the add-on page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/) it does not display correctly. Blue underlined links on the left side of an all white background.

In light of the reasonable memory improvements in Firefox 7, which have not only been talked about quite a bit, but also noticeable to me, I would really like to see Firefox 7.0b4 or 7.0b5 (which should be out within a couple of days) made available in a PortableApps version.

Even as a beta, I would just assume use Firefox 7 rather than wait another 2 or 3 weeks for it reach "release" status.

Thank you in advance.

I somehow achieved a highly unsecure situation on one of my systems and can't even remediate it now.
Clean uninstal also seems useless for a portable application, isn't it?

- Had an old Firefox (presumably 4.x) running on a Win XP system.
- Unistalled it, but without deleting cache and presets.
- Had a Firefox Protable installation on a USB (at that time 5.x, now 6.x) and decided to simply copy it to my HDD in order to avoid re-installing all addons and so on
