Firefox Portable

Hello,

Last night I tried to install Firefox portable on Windows 7 64 bit. Everything worked like normal when I started FF. However, changes made to the settings or add-ons installed are not remembered, no matter whether I run FF as a normal user or with admin privileges.

I can't seem to find anything about this behaviour on the Internet, so I assume that this must be a rather rare issue.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be the cause of this problem?

Cheers,
cormorant

Ok a summery up till now: I have portable Firefox and I customized it with addons and such. Most of the addons work when the Firefox is moved but some don't. To get them working again I have to go to tools > addons > find updates then restart.

The addons in question:
* QuickProxy: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1557/
* Toggle Private Browsing: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9517/

Addons that DO work:
* Download Statusbar
* NoScript
* Past Modern Theme

Using Portable Firefox 3.6.13

My ffp's (2 portable ver.) keep giving me that "already in use" message. It doesn't matter which ff ver. it is. I open one up, do my thing, close it down and do something else on the pc. Later on I try to open the same one and i get "already in use". It seems like the only way to get it to work again is to restart the pc. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening & how I can fix it, if I can fix it.

Thanks.

on advice of JTH, I move https://portableapps.com/news/2011-01-06_-_private_browsing_1.0#comment-... /ask the prob i'm experiencing portion of said thread here:

I have portable Firefox and installed the Flashgot addon so I could use a custom Downloader (eepget from I2P). It works BUT Flashgot puts in an absolute path to the eepget.exe and doesn't work when I move portable Firefox.

Question is, is there any way around this so Firefox, Flashgot and eepget can all be used portably?

I can't seem to find ANY information on this anywhere that fixes this issue.

FirefoxPortable.ini file for setting the local homepage worked fine from the USB stick... but as soon as the entire bundle was copied to the desktop and run, it screwed up the path, when converting the relative path to a more complex, absolute path.

Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Documents and Settingsonned/Desktop/PortableFootprints/Index.html.

The path should read ' ....and Settings/conned/...'

Ini File below:

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins

Thank you for the firefox portable!
I have installed original firefox 3.6.13 now in my PC, at the same time, I want to run firefox 4.0 beta8 for testing. When doing this, it came out a msg "Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition."

I had search all the forum and found no good solution. After change like this:

1. Close all instances of Firefox Portable.
2. Copy FirefoxPortable\Other\Source\FirefoxPortable.ini to FirefoxPortable (next to FirefoxPortable.exe)

Downloads window is showing Canceled under the file.

(Windows XP not on harddisk, but on BART_PE CD)

No problem with FirefoxPortable_3.5.15 (3.5.16)when modified with about:config:

browser.download.manager.skipWinSecurityPolicyChecks_user_set_boolean_true
