Firefox Portable

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

I did a search but could not find this problem listed in that if you are using Firefox Portable on Windows 7 beta your bookmarks are stored by windows in the user folder even after you have removed the drive containing Firefox Portable from the pc.

IE: c:\user\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default.

just do a search for the rest.
Sorry if this has been posted elsewear if it has can a Mod please delete.

my first post, so be easy on me

it seems that i cant play hd vids(or vids on niconico)

on some sites,(ann vids)it tells me that i need 9.0.115 or higher, so is there a plugin for that?
i could play some yt vids, but if i were to put the &fmt=18 or =22 at the end of the link, nothing happens. so if i were to get .115, will that be fixed?

i would just download the normal flash player, but the computer im using wont let me extract the file(administrative privilege crap)and my firefox portable cant use the flash player on the hard drive(same reason as above, i guess)

In my bookmarks tab, I see the pages I have marked, but when I go to organize them, there is nothing there. Also, I get the pop up at the top to save passwords, but it doesn't do anything. I did try to use Foxmarks at one point, but I uninstalled it and still have problems.
