Firefox Portable

problem udating portable firefox and thunderbird

I ran the automated updates for both Firefox and Thunderbird to upgrade to version 6. After restarting it goes through the 'applying updates' window, but then I get the following message:

"The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again."

After which FF/TB 5 are started normally. This now happens every time I try to start either program, causing considerable delay. I have tried both rebooting the machine and disabling add-ons, but the same error occurs.

Add-on manager not working on FF 6

Hi there,

Thanks very much for the fast work on making the new Firefox version available in Portable format, so soon after the main release !

At the moment I can find only one issue, but I'm not sure this is an issue for the portable version, or also for the main version.

When I open up the Add-on manager, it will permanently say "Loading", but it never finishes and doesn't show my installed add-ons. My add-ons are working fine, it is just the manager that seems not to.

I use it with the all-in-one sidebar extension.

I've really done it now. My Firefox restore session hasn't been working, and since no-one replied to my earlier post, I thought I'd just reinstall it.

But... now I seem to have lost all my settings, addons, extensive bookmarks, but most importantly, my Scrapbook pages which included lots of business sales receipts for online orders which I was getting ready to print for my tax records.

Is there anyway to recover this? I know the obvious answer is to go to my backup, but I foolishly don't have a recent backup. Would Firefox have moved the old files somewhere else?

Please help me...

Image pretty much speaks for itself. Both sets of window buttons (e.g. minimize, close) work. Only the top one can be double-clicked on for maximize/restore, though.

Right-clicking and adding, then removing the menu bar removed one, but the tabs are now below the address bar, not up on the title bar, and I have a second taskbar entry for "Mozilla Firefox" (where the first one is the title of the page).
