Firefox Portable

Okay, I know *now* and from two past experiences that an automatic update from Mozilla Portable erases all of the information I've stored in my bookmarks folder. (I *did* try to avoid the update by always selecting "later" when asked; I thought I would have the option of upgrading my Mozilla after all this issues were worked out, as I remembered what a pain in the ass it was last time to lose all of my saved info, but eventually Mozilla updated itself without giving me any choice.)

I had a nice, happy copy of Firefox Portable 3.0.5 with Google Gears installed as per this link
Firefox 3.0.6 hits the shelves so I wait for the PortableApps.com release and install... Fire up Fx and... all my GMail Offline is gone...

I tried using "the easy to use Flash installer for FF Portable" but that didn't work.
I tried the extension option but got this error message: "Install script not found-204".
I tried the so-called "geeky method" (copying the NPSWF32.dll file from my hard drive to my USB's FF plugins folder) but that didn't work.
I tried rebooting the browser and the computer each time I tried and retried these methods but that, also, didn't work.
I've spent 4 hours working on this "simple" project for no result, so, how does one watch The Daily Show or Colbert Report without changing browsers?

I just downloaded firefox portable and it refuses to launch or crashes before it gets a chance. As soon as I click the firefoxportable.exe link I get a portable apps popup box that looks like some kind of launch window. Then it vanishes and firefox portable never pops up. It's as if I never tried to launch it.

On (only) some public computers, when I start Firefox Portable, an browser plugin is installed immediately without asking anything. In my Options-Advanced-Update all automatical updates are disabled. However, the plugin is not compatible with my Firefox version.

To make a long story short (and take the fun out) I found an extension called QuickProxy that allows me to quickly switch on and off the proxy setting in Firefox. Nothing fancy, just that, but it's all I need.

From what I understand the BBC News Website streams video media via the Dirac codec. On my Work PC I can watch this video stream via IE but i cannot view this stream using FF portable 3.05 or any earlier versions. I have added the DLL File to enable WMP usage in FF Portable but to no avail. If anyone can get this working it would be much appreciated.

Hello,
I have a number of extensions installed and all work o/k.
When I launch FFP on a different computer, the plug-ins window pops up with all the extensions shows and a line near the top saying that 1 new extension has been installed.

I have deleted extensions.ini, extensions.rdf and extensions.cache. These get re-created next time FFP is launched, But when take the USB dribe to another computer and launch FFP there, the plug-ins window pops up again.
Than you for any suggestions.

I like to use vimperator with firefox. Unfortunately, they expect a config file in the user folder. That can be overridden by setting an environment variable on startup. Is the PA wrapper able to pass arbitrary environment variables? Is there some other way to get it to work?

Thanks,
Carl Flippin
