Firefox Portable

my normal mode is to be running 2 instances of firefox, with the 2nd one started in sandboxie. i use the 2nd one for random surfing/searching and also clicked links in emails open in it.

when i try to open a 2nd ffportable in the sandbox, i get a message telling me to shut down the other instance.

is this really a limitation of ffportable vs regular?

When I go to the help menu there is no Check for updates... option. Instead there is a "loading" animation next to the words "Downloading Firefox 3.5.2." I have NOT checked for updates, but it automatically starts downloading. The download never says that its finished, but it has updated itself automatically when I restart Firefox. The weird thing about this is that I have disabled automatic updates under the Tools>Options menu. This is a portable edition running off a flash drive. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't want to update to Firefox 3.5.2.

AVG @#$%!ware has taken over PortableFF Address bar search even though I don't have add-on or plug-in installed on my PC or in portable profile

what file do have to edit to fix this?

*EDIT*
the long story... I was over friends house who is even-less technically inclined than me. He had AVG antiware install on his PC.

I loaded up my PortableFF just to check my e-mails during this I disabled some local add-ons that where slowing things down restarted PortableFF ...when I exited FF I got crash dialog but didn't think anything of it at the time.

I always use firefox portable whenever I go on a computer, Except when I'm on a slow computer. I found that Firefox takes about 6.72 times longer to load pages using DSL than opera@USB. I tried using a fresh copy of firefox portable (without adons) and it was still roughly 3 times slower (it varied) on loading pages. Until I fix this problem, I'll use opera@usb.

Does anyone know how to improve FFP's speed?

PS I type this to you using Opera@USB

Sup every1. I am brand spankin' new to ffp. I'm not a developer, programmer, Tech expert or the like, but I'm interested and am learning very quickly most "how to do's" as I'm not as knowledgeable....yet. I joined PortableApps.com to learn.

Hi!

Great web site !

Please, could you add a warning if someone click on "firefox.exe" instead of "firefoxportable.exe" saying "Hey you donkey ! Use the launcher to keep FF portable !"

Thanks,

Steve

I went to some pretty careful lengths to put this together so as to fall under USC 17 fair use exemptions, but I believe this is legal to do, so here you go!

This version of Gears installs and works in Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition, as well as any non-Administrator account in a normal Firefox installation. This is because it installs into the user profile, NOT system-wide.

How do I see which version of flash it uses?

when i use windows 7, there is a new function at superbar, which can pin the program at the bar, but when i pin firefox portable(from portableapps.com) and open it, it will open the other firefox which no more add on in it, how can i fix this problem?

I have down loaded and set up Portable FF 3.5.1. In the preferences under "applications" I see no option to set my PDF down loads. It has always been there on other versions of FF. What is going on with this? Thanks
