Firefox Portable

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...)

Some help and advice please !

I am trying to run a mini website direct from USB stick - BUT I want it to open with FFP [installed on the stick] no matter which PC I plug into.

It is basically an educational tool which will be used by 'non-techies' - and relies on various plugins which all need to be installed on the stick too - so it 'just works'

Any ideas please?

Thanks,

G

I can't log into any of my accounts it seems with the exception of this one. Gmail, newegg, ebay, delicious, facebook, etc. all wont log in on firefox. I go to the home pages and then click the login button but then it does nothing and just sits there and acts like its constantly loading. I never actually get to the log in screen. I have tried the trick of typing about:config and changing the "network.http.sendRefererHeader" to 1, mine was set at 2, and that still didn't do anything.

Okay, so forgive me if I sound like a total idiot, this is my first time posting on here and I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to computers. I do my best, though.

Anyway,
I just recently updated my firefox portable to the newest version and now it won't save any new bookmarks and I lost my (stumbleupon)toolbar and I can't get it to reinstall.

Firefox portable startup crashes on winxp with asycfilt.dll error

However firefox.exe in the subfolder works properly without the profiles.

The only information I found is :

returning error when trying to install: Extract: error writing to file xul.dll

Hello,

has anyone experiences in installing /configuring
Firexox /Java VM to make launch JVM from Firefox always from **portable**
device (USB- Memorystick), even when drive- No changes?

In which folder Java has to be installed ?
Which entries in Firefox configuration / plugin-management have to be made so
Firefox does'nt launch Java from the host system ?

best regards, Michael

Mozilla has released Firefox 3.5.8 on 17/02/2010 (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.5.8/releasenotes/). Usually, PA.c publishes a paf-version within one or two days, but not this time. Which brings me to re-consider the question of whether Firefox can be allowed to auto-update itself (i.e. updating from within Firefox). For a long time, it was made quite clear to users that they shouldn't use auto-update, but download the new .paf from PA.c instead. In fact, all the key support pages still claim that.

New version of Firefox 3.5.x released.
Will updating my Firefox Portable from previous one (also 3.5.x) by copying
manually all binaries from local installation to the portable installation?

The question addresses all updates within the same major version.

Not sure what's going on here, whether it's Flash's fault or FFP's, but the issue is definitely specific to FFP, so I'm posting it here. Ever since I updated my Flash plugin to 10.0.44.32 to 10.0.45.2, Flash no longer works in Firefox Portable. I mean, the area on the page dedicated to the flash applet is properly set aside, but the flash movie itself doesn't play at all, it's just... blank.

In a local copy of Firefox, Flash works just fine, and so will FFP if it's using the local copy of Flash, but if there's an npswf32.dll in the FirefoxPortable directory, it doesn't work.
