Firefox Portable

Profile Manager

Submitted by salimoneus on March 11, 2010 - 3:24am

Hi,

I really dig the portable apps on here, with no dependency on registry or windows system folders, any of that junk.

One thing I don't get is why the Profile Manager was removed from Firefox? It pretty much makes the portable version useless for me, since I have several profiles that I am using throughout the day depending on what I am doing.

The Profile Manager allows the users to create a new profile in any directory they choose. This should work just fine for making new profiles on a USB stick or anywhere else a folder can be created.

when i click the link to download any of the versions of rkill from http://www.technibble.com/rkill-repair-of-the-week/ i get a zero size file in the target folder.
the links at technibble download from bleepingcomputer.
the FF download manager gives the message: canceled--bleepingcomputer.com.
other downloads give similar results.
the downloads work fine in opera 10.10.
i have been using FFportable for a long time and never had trouble until recently. i can't think of anything that i have changed recently.
i made a 2nd profile with no add-ons, same result.

FirefoxPortable 3.6 - Disable the "window add-ons"

Submitted by dgov on March 6, 2010 - 3:32pm

Hi everybody,
I made a web site which runs on a USB Key on FirefoxPortable 3.6.The application works well even if everything is burned on CD. I nevertheless face the problem that on launching FirefoxPortable.exe the "window add-ons" opens up automatically notifying the installation of the extentions.
Having said that, here is the question: Is it possible to disable the automatic startup of window add-ons(may be by working on the config file)?

Thanks for your help.

3.6 installation issues

Submitted by trathier on March 3, 2010 - 5:32pm

My firefox 3.6 install stopped working and upon investigation the firefoxportable.exe turned up missing. I don't know how or why. I downloaded the 3.6 install and re-installed yet the firefoxportable.exe does not extract. Manually extracting it gives a file error. Yes, I have already tried downloading it again on 2 other machines as well as installing to two other usb drives with the same results, no firefoxportable.exe.

Can someone send me the latest firefoxportable.exe?

Old version : Portable Firefox 1.0????

Submitted by parjf01 on March 2, 2010 - 1:49pm

Hi,
Is it possible to have the download link for "Firefox Portable 1.0"? Not 1.0.8 in the "Legacy Versions" section really 1.0!
I need the "Firefox Portable 1.0" for my old internal system that required by "JInitiator 1.3.1.22" to properly work. It is only compatible with Firefox version 1.0. I want the portable version of Firefox to be able to upgrade my PC with Firefox 3.5 full version.

correct profile

Submitted by chuckb on March 2, 2010 - 12:42pm

Why does Windows XP insist on opening firefox.exe and some default profile instead of FirefoxPortable.exe and the correct profile. This problem seems to be linked to having three different sets of 'profile' and 'plugins' directories within FirefoxPortable.

Hello! My questions are rather theoretical than practical, as it is possible to make things work without solving the following 2 problems, but still...

I have 2 questions:
1) Related to Firefox 3.6 Portable (Sorry if it was discussed earlier, but I failed to find any solution...)
