Firefox Portable

This is how I just was able to use Firefox beta 8 (aka minefield).

Having Portable Firefox 4 beta 6 already installed, I went here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

and downloaded:

firefox-4.0b8pre.en-US.win32.zip

Then I replaced the firefox old Firefox folder with the extracted firefox folder here:

\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableTest\App

then run this:

\PortableApps\FirefoxPortableTest\FirefoxPortable.exe

and you now have bleeding edge Firefox, with all the bugs it contains.... it is fast though.

When I installed the Portable Apps suite on my "Imitation 2Gig thumb Drive" FireFox imported all of my extensions including RoboForm with all my logins etc.

How can I install the suite and end up with nothing but a clean install of all apps having imported none of my local settings, extensions or bookmarks?

I want to use this drive for business not personal so I can only have business information on it.

I am using Firefox 4, Beta 6, but this happens with 3.x as well. I have even tried to use all memory cache and it seems to still happen. But FF constantly writes to my flash drive, even while typing. and freezes for brief seconds (1-2).

There is even a delay when simply clicking the menu bar (file, edit, view) or choosing settings under tools, options. when ever I touch anything in FF it reads/writes to the flash drive. As I am typing now, the flashdrive is R/W, and there are no other portable apps open.

For the last few days when I use my firefoxportable v 3.6.10 I am now getting a weird pop-up window that says this

[javascript-application]
Content [application/octet-stream] found
Do you want to download it to C:\Users\charlie\ ?

no matter how many times I click "cancel" it pops again dozens of times while Im on one page.If I say "yes" it downloads small litle images from the webpage such as icons from the webpage often with ".cur" at the end.But also .ico and other icon types.

Hello folks

I try to open my Firefox Portable and now it returns this msg:

Profile is yet in use by another Firefox

My Firefox was updated to 3.6.10 by hand.

Apometron

I started to download a file to a UFD at drive F then I paused the download and tried to resume later in a different computer where the UFD was assigned to drive G

The download failed with the following message:

F:\Documents\Videos\sample.f4v could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred.
Try saving to a different location.

Is it a bug or download portability is not supported?

Both computers are Windows 7 Ultimate, FF 3.6.10

Thanks

Hello,

im working with a Firefox Portable V 1.0.8.

On a computer where Java is running, Firefox isn't working when Java update 21 is installed. If I try to start the app I receive the following message in an error-prompt: The new Java Plug-In requires a recent version of the Firefox browser (Firefox 3 or later). After deinstalling the Java update it works again.

Does anyone know how I can prevent my browser against this "update"?

thx for help

Hello
When I use FF portable and right click on a picture a menu pops up with an option 'DSave Images'. I can save the image on my thumb drive. However when I open up IE this file is logged in my history. And I am using the privacy mode of FF portable.

Hello,

I have noticed that firefoxportable.exe is constantly switching contexts (can be seen with process explorer for example). seems like a resource hog - any reason for this ?

If one were to redistribute the unmodified binary installer for the Mozilla Firefox Portable Edition software, whether commercially or non-commercially, would it be necessary to include any additional source files in order to comply with licensing requirements? (Probably not, but the answer is not totally clear.)
