Firefox Portable

i am downloading the fire fox and i was just wondering will it bypass any internet blockers, such as astro blocker, this is the one that is on my schools computers

How do I get Firefox Portable working with Java Portable? The upcoming version of Firefox, 3.6, will only support Java 6 Update 10 and upwards. I installed Java Portable, which is supposed to be Java 6 Update 17, to X:\portableapps\CommonFiles\Java as requested. My Firefox is installed to X:\portableapps\browser. When I load Firefox 3.6 Beta 4, it does not see Java Portable....

I had set my previous version of portable FF (whichever that was before the 3.5.6 update) NOT to update automatically but it automatically updated this morning.

That bothers me because of this message from this web page:

https://portableapps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable/faq

"The Mozilla Software Updater no longer correctly updates secondary, standalone and portable versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, etc."

Hello,

Five minutes before I wrote this sentence, I updated my Firefox to 3.5.6. When I opened it for the second time, it basically asked me if I wanted to copy Firefox temporarily to the hard drive, because it had read-only files. I said "no" and it said Firefox had to close. After that, its working as if nothing ever happened...

Should I be concerned with this message or is it irrelevant?

We have a situation where we'd like to deploy a whole bunch of copies of portable FF to USB sticks, each with the same set of customizations preset (certain modules added, config settings changed, etc.). Is it possible to roll one's own portable FF installer with this stuff already done? If so, what's the easiest way to do it?

I'm using FF 3.5.5 Portable, syncing it between two computers with a flash drive. When I transfer FF from one computer to another, I delete the previous Firefox folder - that could be important.
Anyway, some of my addons get screwed up. Several (CS Lite, JSView, ColorZilla, and a few others) don't correctly recognize their version #s - FF says they "Aren't compatible with Firefox 3.5.5", so I have to hit "Find updates" to make FF apply a "compatibility update". This happens every time I move FF from one computer to another...

Where is this in the portable version? I am trying to erase the cache to reduce space on my thumb drive.
"Mozilla Firefox stores the saved files to the folder “Cache”, which you can find under the profile folder (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\\). You can safely erase that folder when Firefox is not running."

Does deleting the places.sqlite and cookies.sqlite do anything in portable FF? This is also recommended to the standard install. Doesn/t places.sqlite hold your profile?

Hello,
I'm in a unique position, it seems.
My company has restrictions on the locally installed FF, therefore many of us run FF portable. Our network admin will not allow us to run programs from network shares (going so far as to delete *.exe from our network shares, regularly), and USB drive use is restricted, so we install to our desktops. Network admin is requesting that we descrease the size of our roaming profiles as well.

Ok, when you run it the first time it saves your settings.

But since Windows 7 sees the exe as an installer (NSIS) it will create a new profile for this application.

And, when you close it, and reopen it - it will link to the new profile..

Right click on EXE for both Thunderbird and Firefox portable.

Goto troubleshoot compatability, and choose Windows XP SP3 - then save the settings for the exe forever.

Create a shortcut and put it on your desktop.

Both programs now load your portable profile!

When I follow and download flash from portableapps website, it only has a link to an OLD flash for firefox.

Where can I download the LATEST version Flash for portableapps?

This link only has a link to an OLD flash:
