Firefox Portable

Hello,

We are trying to implement Firefox Portable on our terminal servers.

Current situation:
A program calls an instance of ffp locally to display data. The users have the option to enable a timer that refreshes the data every X minutes, which means that it opens another instance of firefox and shuts down the old one.
As long as the instances are local, everything works fine.

I run 2 computers, 1 at home and 1 at work. Up to V3.5, I used to sync FF with my copy on a USB drive and take it to the other computer and sync it to the other computer. This has worked ok. Now that I have upgraded to V4.0.1, this method no longer works. Firefox launches, stays in the task bar and can only be maximized.
The main reason I am doing it this way is that I want to continue to work with tabs I had before. I could make this all work if I knew the file that contains the tabs. This way I would only have to sync that file and continue to work.

Hi!

I have installed Firefox Portable 3.6.13 to the C section of my computer yesterday, and after having invested 5 (FIVE!!) hours in getting all my add-ons and settings installed therein which I used in my older version of Firefox (installed version, not portable), I wanted to copy my new FFP to another drive to save the present state in case something happens, and also so that I have all my add-ons and settings saved for the next update.

Unfortunately I don't know the name of it, as our IT group took care of it. But the trojan was traced to my use of FF Portable. Since I've stopped using it, no trojans. The trojan would hide files, and delete minor files in my windows xp profile.

I have been using Firefox portable for some time now, and have bookmarks, etc stored in my profile. I also have a brand new install of the PortableApps suite including Firefox - with a later version installed.

What is the best way to "merge" my existing installation into the new installation, keeping the newer version but copying over my profile?

Thanks,
Paul.

PS One way I've though of is to replace the new copy with my older one, then run the updater to update it to the latest version. That doesn't seem particularly hard to do - would that be the best option?

Hi,

I try to switch from 3.6 to 4.0 (and now 4.0.1) but firefox doesn't launch.

The splash screen appears, then disappears, and then... nothing.
I can see FirefoxPortable and firefox.exe in the task manager, but that's all.

It is a new fresh install (not an update), and the safe mode does the same.

Thanks for any idea.

I am a korean.
when i use Google toolbar translate function in Firefox 3.x with translate words by hovering over them checked and hover over a text "1 cup", it says "1 cup= 236.6 cubic centimeter.."
but in Firefox 4.x , It just says "cup= 컵"
So i prefer Firefox 3.x which also offer unit converting. but Firefox 4.x doesn't offer unit converting... it only tranlate it to korean..

thank you

Hi. I just updated Firefox to 4 and found that I've lost like 5 years worth of bookmarks from my usb drive. I had access to all of them before I updated and now they are gone. Is there anything I can do? What happened anyway?

I'm using version 3.0.16 and this morning it was fine but an hour later everything was gone. The box at the top asking if I want to save the passwords I remember comes up. But when I click "yes" nothing happens. Anybody know what happened? And how do I fix it? I just wish I'd written down some of the newer passwords! LOL!

Thanks,

hello dev's

i hate version 4 from ff, because mozila make a big step back(now is also IE9 better).

i have much problems with this version, the biggest two are, the "plugin container" and the process in TaskManager from firefox not down after closing ff4.
for the first problem have i change the "config" in firefox but the problem with not closed proces is wrong.

can i whitout problems downgrade PA ff4 to PA ff3.6?
