Firefox Portable

Hullo!

I am using PortableApps on a corporate build PC on which I ahve no admin account.
The last time I installed Flash and Shockwave in my FirefoxPortable install was about a year ago - I am not that bothered about being cutting edge, so there was no need to upgrade until now. But I seem to be unable to achieve much...

I followed the recommendations from this site:
https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#plugins

I would like to be able to install multiple versions of Firefox on my Portable Apps thumb drive.

Specifically, I'd like to install 3 and 3.5, but they both seem to use the same directory. I discovered that when I tried to install 3 and it overwrote 3.5

I already know how to run multiple versions at the same time, and installing one version on the computer and one on Portable Apps isn't really the answer I am looking for, as I'd like to carry my own configurations of both versions with me between home and work.

Thanks for any help!

Edit: Due to the large amount of addons, I am only listing those that are known NOT to be portable. Please only report addons that don't work.

As an avid user of FireFox Portable, I use alot of addons. However, I don't like to leave traces on the PCs I visit. So I decided to begin a short list of addons that are not portable. If you know an addon that is not portable, please comment.

I've been looking for an add on that will prevent the Master Password prompt from coming up and have had no luck. Is there a setting to keep this from appearing? I have eBay customers using Pay Pal on my computer to pay for items they pick up and figured that "Private Browsing" would be faster than closing my FF and starting up a guest profile or using the IE Tab, but they have to cancel the Master Password prompt multiple times. Any Ideas?

Have been using FFP for the last few days and it is constantly crashing; or (b) just hanging.

I've used earlier versions of FFP and the installed version without any problems - so what's happened now?

OS: Vista Home Premium (but this has been the same OS throughout).

This is such a disappointment. I'll try downgrading to an earlier version.

Any ideas?

Hi

I found this program and looks ok bit different to the portableapps menu but I wondered about how to stop firefox from opening a new window each time.

As I've been mucking around with so-called portable applications generally I found for example Skype you must set a value in the ini file but is there any such thing for Mozilla? Thanks

It is storing my history and bookmarks just fine, but it is not storing my cookies. I play a lot of flash games that use cookies to create save game files, and this is quite annoying. What is wrong?

I installed FF Portable 3.5.3 and now I cannot mark as read in Google Reader using the Shift+A shortcuts. A key feature for me since I use an extremely minimized version of Reader.

I will roll back to 3.5.2 and update this with whether that restores the functionality.

Sometimes when I use my FF portable, I'm unable to log into my password manager or even see my Options menu. How can I fix this?

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed version 3.5.3 from different sourceforge mirrors but Help -> About still tells me it's still FireFox 3.5.2....and an update check tells me a new update is available (ver 3.5.3).

Has anyone verified that they've actually installed version 3.5.3?

Regards,
Allan.
