Firefox Portable

This question is about Firefox Portable Legacy v.2.0.0.20 but hope it will not be dismissed as irrelevant. I use this and Thunderbird v.2.0.0.24 as I cannot stand the more modern versions.
Usually I use Firefox on a stick on my own/ family machines with Admin privs so Flash and other add-ons get loaded almost invisibly.
Now on a borrowed machine I cannot listen to the BBC or Classic FM (radio) or watch YouTube videos (some/ all?) or watch BBC TV ... probably other missing utilities.

When I try to import favourites from IE7 I get an error in Firefox Portable 6.0:
"A script on the page may be busy or it may have stopped responding - script:chrome://browser/content/browser.js:3508"

In an attempt to solve this problem I deleted all the Firefox folders from my flash drive, downloaded FirefoxPortable_6.0.1_English.paf.exe to the desktop from the link on portableapps.com and reinstalled Firefox Portable 6.0 on the flash drive. The problem remained.

I am using Windows XP Home on my desktop computer.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using Firefox Portable in a TrueCrypt-encrypted file container. This functions exactly like a flash disk (once a password is supplied and the file container is opened, it is mounted by TrueCrypt as a drive at My Computer.) Since it is actually in a hard disk, and not in a flash drive, reads and writes are not an issue. Because of this, I would like to enable Firefox Portable's cache.

How do I set Firefox Portable to have its cache enabled and have it in the Firefox Portable directory?

Hi!

I am able to run the Google "Voice and Video Chat" within my FireFox PortableApps program.

However, I must reinstall the program each time I initially open up the FireFox program from the USB.

Is there anyway to always run the Google "Voice and Video Chat" program from within the Portable Apps FireFox program after installing it once.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Does anyone know where to put the Roboform Adapter in Firefox Portable. It works with the installed version of Firefox but not portable.

Normal firefox will let me launch multiple windows from the commandline like this using the -new-window flag:

Firefox.exe -new-window

if try to do that with firefoxportable.exe it says:

"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

Is there any way i can launch multiple windows from the commandline?

As it says above, I have FF6 Portable. Mostly it works just fine, in face, I use it regardless of other browsers available to me. I have never before had any problem with FireFox Portable and I only have one problem with 6.

When I start Firefox, my Persona loads and the connection works fine. But, none of my add-ons work. They're all enabled and in fact, this is the weird part. If I install a new add-on, and accept the prompt to restart Firefox, my add-ons will then load fine and continue to work as expected.

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition 6.0.1, it is missing a simplified Chinese version of the download, thanks.

I used to run portable Firefox from RAM drive but then I noticed that it still uses Appdata etc folders on hard drive. I did move Firefox cache to a separate folder in RAM drive though.

So, is it possible to run portable Firefox without using any folder or file on hard drive at all? (Appdata, Temp, Cache, Profile, etc) If possible, in how many places do I have I move paths in portable Firefox to make it use just one main folder...

Thanks a million in advance.

I've got an oldish computer which is short of RAM and slows down with a large page file.

I notice that firefoxportable.exe continues to run after it launches Firefox, and wondered what the consequences of killing it but leaving Firefox running were?
