Firefox Portable

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

can it be done? Is it enough to install in the same directory or would that cause everything to blow up?
