Firefox Portable

When I try to add on an extension (for example, FireShot), I click the "add extension" button and after some churning I get:

Firefox could not install the file at

https://addons.mozilla.org/downloads/file/42641/fireshot-0.63-fx-win.xpi

because: Download error
-228

This has happened with more than one extension.

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution to watch Videostreams, different to flash.
For example the German TV-Channel ZDF offers good quality information about world-news:
http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/content/9602?inPopup=true
for watching this i can choose between 3 different plugins

*Windows Mediaplayer
-> I dont like it that much, but i think it is installed on many Windows-PCs.
Is it possible to use it?
*VLC
-> I think most of us have installed VLC-Portable, but i read that the FF Plugin is not portable...
*Realplayer

I need to run Firefox installed on my notebook, and Firefox Portable at the same time. When I have the installed Firefox running, and try to open the Firefox Portable version, it says: "Another instance of Firefox is already running"
Is there any way to have both of them running at the same time??
Please help....

Happy New Year!

I'm running Cross-Platform Firefox 1.5 (and Thunderbird!) on my flash drive and it runs super in either Mac or PC mode, but it doesn't, by design, keep the cache out of security reasons. I feel confident enough that I can watch out for my drive, so is there a way to alter the config files and enable the cache in the flash drive?

Thanks for any suggestions and Happy New Year!

my school just updated to owa 07 and firefox portable wont log in it says that my username or password is invalid. Ive cleared all the private data and turned off plugins but it still wont work. It works on the local firefox fine even with all the same plugins

I usually use IEtab but it wont work either way it works both ways on the local one.

Hi,

I tried looking for this in the support area but I didn't find it. Sorry if I missed this somewhere else.

I run Firefox exclusively (I wish) from an SD card. I can port the card easily and use Firefox anywhere, especially when I work as a contractor somewhere.

Whenever I run FF portable it comes up with a little message saying my flash drive is read only, so it has to put some temporary files on the local HDD. I don't think my flash drive is R-O because I can create and edit files on it but FF portable insists it is...

How can I fix this?

it so happens, that Mozilla are a bunch of moronic stubborn jackasses when it comes to resizing pictures. I happen to NEED to resize without any anti-aliasing functions, while they insist that blurring images is the only way to go and simply wont even give me any other option.

On to the topic at hand, this forces me to roll back to Firefox2. How do I pass all of my bookmarks and settings back to Portable Firefox2? I tried just copy/pasting all of the folders inside "data" but the bookmarks, security configuration, and saved username/passwords were missing. What to do?

I would like to move my settings from Firefox installed in vista to Firefox Portable but I've not been able to do it with the instructions i found in the FAQs, this is due the fact that firefox in vista has different folders than in xp.
Does someone know what can I do?
Thanks

How would I go about backing up settings from FF3b2 to a regular firefox install? I usually use mozbackup, but it doesn't support portable.... thanks
