Firefox Portable

Meh, why hard-coding all the paths in a portable release. Paradox and not customizable
Have a look at Diashapes Portable (not supported anymore, works with Dia 0.97 only) and Dia Portable. User could set custom install paths, settingsdirectory, appdirectory ... and with the proper ini-entries it just works. Always.

Oh, and there is a major bug:

Dear Mr. Haller,

I just wanted to mention that the Firefox Portable (Minefield) 3.7 Alpha 1 download will no longer install because the Minefield has upgraded to FF 3.7 Alpha 2. It's not a big deal, but I just thought I would mention it.

Sincerely,
Kent Coley

The firefox portable current edtion oan previous editions, install ok on my USB Flash drive but when launching the app I recevie "Failed to Intitialize properly (0xc0000005)" upon execution.

I have tried installs multiple times (Erased and foramtted USB flash drive) each time) with no success. I even copied over the entire structure of ff portable from a working flash device. same issue. I also tried a second flash device, same issue.

Tried to run in WIN 98 Comaptibiltiy also
Any suggestions
Thanx Dzj

I just installed Portable Apps suite for the first time on a 4GB hard drive. I have tried to run Firefox and each time it takes about 5 minutes to start up and before it finishes loading it states that it cannot run a script if I continue it eventually loads but then crashes. I just tested it on Windows Vista and Firefox works fine, it only fails on Windows XP. Any suggestions?

I've only ever used Firefox Portable on admin accounts, but last week I tried it in a controlled environment, and the results were disappointing.

I was running Portable Firefox 3.6 (official build) on a flash drive on a laptop running Vista Home Premium SP2 through the computer's Guest account. Firefox was installed, and connects to the Net without a proxy, but is loaded down with tons of badware, strange toolbars and the like. Portable Firefox wouldn't connect to anything. Google, the start page (start.portableapps.com) or a couple other sites.

I can't get to gmail, when i type in gmail.com all it does is sit there and say loading continually, it never actually makes it to the log in screen. Someone please help, gmail is where i have all my accounts. I can imagine a well known web browser like firefox not working with one of the biggest email carriers.

I have my PortableApps (including Firefox) installed in my Dropbox (which makes it the world's first genuine cloud-based OS ). How come the computers that are synced with my Dropbox don't have the same Firefox configuration? They should, right? Say I install some Firefox add-on on one computer, I configure the add-on, and move to a different computer and start FireFox portable there. Then surprise! I have to configure the add-on on that computer as well! Why is that?

Everytime I fire up FFP from my USB drive, it creates a randomly named directory in C:\TEMP called nsa184.tmp. The format is actually NS***.tmp.
It contains the following files:
FindProcDLL.dll
newadvsplash.dll
registry.dll
splash.jpg
system.dll

They don't get deleted upon closure. Why are these here, and how can I make sure they go away after FFP closes?

hey all,

I'm having an issue where evertime I launch firefox after upgrading to 3.5.7, the same 3 tabs pop up ("Welcome to Firefox", "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" and "DownloadHelper" which I added more than a year ago) even though I specify to save tabs after closing.

I am able to save bookmarks and I've tried deleting the "localstore.rdf" file but that didn't help at all.

No settings are saved any longer than the current session that I am using.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks
