Firefox Portable

One of the cool features of the Google Toolbar for Firefox is that you can create a custom search by right-clicking on any search engine's text input box.

I have like 10 such custom searches in my toolbar, but they are all missing if I run my copy of Firefox Portable on another machine.

Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this?

Thanks, K.

Hi there,

i installed Firefox Portable 3.0.4 and the integrated search function doesn't work. Nothing happens when clicking on the loupe or when hitting enter.

Anybody knows how to fix?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I am new to this FF Portable. I have a question regards on proxy setting.

If my PC- A , it is using "proxy configuration script" to run on the local drive and in my FF Portable, I have select it as "AUTO Select Proxy.." and it seems not working. Until I have copy the same " proxy configuration script" like my PC-A into the FF Portable , then it only able to run.

I just installed firefox 3.04. Before I could just copy my bookmarks.html to the /Data/profile directory and it would use that. Firefox 3 will not use this and I can not find any place where it is pulling the bookmarks from. I can import them and it will save them but I can't find any html file that it is pulling them from. I would like the ability to manually copy them again. Any help would be apprecitated!!!

Thank you,
Dan

Hi,
I understand that Firefox portable itself doesn't store anything in the local computer, but does the plugins and the add-ons that we are using on the firefox portable storing anything on the computer?
I'm currently using Shockwave Plugin, Dictionaries & Language Packs and DownloadHelper 3.5.1(which I chanegd the download location).

Oh, and when I go to K:\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins, I can only find np32dsw.dll, does that mean DownloadHelper is not installed on the usb key or something like that?

Thanks in advance

The other day I posted a topic saying that all of my bookmarks disappeared (I have since restored them due to the nifty "bookmarkbackups"). That feature saved my life! Anyway, when I was backing up my portable apps, I received the following two eror messages:

Cannot copy XUL: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
Cannot copy backup-6.session: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

My first question, is what exactly is the role of the XUL.mfl file and why may it have been corrupted? Perhaps an unsafe removal of my thumb drive?

I setup in Tools\Options\Main When my firefox starts: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instaed of "Show my home page".

When I have a website shown and exit firefox portable, then launch again my home page shows instead of the website I had before.

What could be wrong?
Thank you

Trying to install extension with .xpi.
The Plugins window doesn't allow installation. I entered the local address on my hard drive into the address bar and showed me the files in the directory. Double clicked the .xpi I want to install and gave me the option to install.

It started to insall but gave me an error -
"Could not install the file:
location
because: Install script not found
-204"

What is this Install script, and where do I find it?
Thanks

Hey, I am running Firefox on my flash drive, with Portable Apps, and it's quite slow. The USB drive is 2.0, and the computers are 2.0 high speed so it's got to be firefox.

it's not a problem, works at home great but when I am on the go it's a little slow loading pages and typing stuff. I was just wondering if there is a tutorial on how to make firefox run a bit faster, without adding any plugins.

Thanks!

It is not possible to connect it by "Time out:The Server takes too long time to connect."'s being displayed when trying to hook up to the Internet though FFPortable3.04 is used.
Someone, please teach causing.
