Firefox Portable

Downloaded a few portable apps yesterday; McAfee told me there was a trojan in the Firefox portable installer. Did the same with VLC, but I see various security scanners have wrongly tagged that too. Anyone else?

I was exploring PortableFreeware.com and I found this:
http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?p=2&so=p (scroll down to see the Firefox Portable section)

It says

Stealth: No. By default, crash files are created in the %APPDATA%Mozilla directory. To make stealth, edit \App\Firefox\application.ini and replace:

[Crash Reporter]
Enabled=1
ServerURL=https://crash-reports.mozilla.com/submit

with:

[Crash Reporter]

MOZ_CRASHREPORTER_DISABLE=1

I have been using Firefox portable 1.5.0.3 with winXP sp2 for some years, now. It always worked fine.
Last week, I got a virus from a streaming page. I knew it was a malware because of the sudden lag i experimented. I had to force the closing of Portable Firefox. I think I have got rid of the virus manually (CPU usage normal, network requests normal).

Hello,

Checking plugins and extensions for updates on FF 3.6.6
I found that FlashPlayer was "vulnerable" so I clicked
and ended up with an Adobe Download Manager installed in
my Firefox plugins. After restarting several times this
plugin disappeared and I could not find it in any file
directory either. I wonder what that was, a bad download
from Adobe possibly ? The program works OK as well with
the same FlashPlayer.

Everything else updated OK, Java 6.0.20, etc. and everything
otherwise works and looks good.

Hello,

Since Firefox 3.5 this preference is superseded with setting browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.enabled
Should add this to in the page https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#performance

I have been using Firefox Portable for a while now and have not experienced any problems until recently. As of today, when I start FxP I get this error message:

Just installed FFP 4.0b1 as well as a local copy of same beta, and now when I run Firefox Portable, it steals the pinned taskbar icon for the local copy instead of creating a new one like it used to. This is very confusing.

Hi there,

I installed keyconfig plugg into portable firefox. All worked properly BUT when i copy whole portable firefox folder to new folder place then it doesnt work. I cant see kayconfig under tools menu..so i cant use it. How can i sett it properly? i dlike to changing firefox portable directory soever. Thanks for reply.

Tried twice, a week apart. Click "Download" bar. Get directed to SourceForge. Endless looping of "transferring data from (x)" in lower left of browser. Tried allowing the entire planet in NoScript, Adblock, etc. No luck. Tried the "direct link". No luck. Tried another mirror or two. No luck. Any ideas?

Hello Everyone,
has anyone managed to get things working with the FFP3.3.6 and an actual(e.g. 11.5.7.609) Adobe Shockwave installation?
Every guide, tutorial,... is obsolete - neither the dll(np32dsw.dll) alone does work, nor if I extract every single file in the full shockwave installation into the plugin folder.

Any ideas would be appreciated! (beside the obvious "normal installation" on the host system)

Thank you in advance.

Chris
