Firefox Portable

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

I'm thinking something may have changed since the first releases of FF3

Early reports were that the Malware Database was about 52MB fairly consistently.

In my using of FFP3.0.5 I am seeing , and others are reporting, much less. About 17-18 MB when both "attack sites" and "forgery" are selected .

tool->options->security 2nd and 3rd check boxes

Could folks who have those setting on give some feed back.
Something may have changed, and if so we should know.
It would be good news if they have found a way to make it smaller

[edit:]

Possibly the weirdest error I've ever seen. I was closing PFF 3.1 beta 2 last night, and it crashed upon closing for no discernible reason. Since that crash, however, whenever I try to download something, I get an error that it can't find the "part" file in the Temp directory on my local hard drive. I cleaned that out just in case, but that didn't fix anything. In fact, I was surprised to see it was trying to use my local harddrive.

Any thoughts on fixes short of uninstall and reinstall? Known bug?

Hi there!
I would like to use at portable firefox the profile of my "normal" firefox I use on my PC and backed up there with the add-on FEBE. To restore it with FEBE in portable firefox I have to create a second profile. I tried it with the profile manager using the "run-application" of my WinXP (firefox.exe -profilemanager), but I could not "reach" the portable firefox this way to create a second profile there.
How does it work?

(I hope I have expressed my problem in an understandable way, as I'm not a native english speaker...)

Thanks so far!

As written in Mozilla Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 homepage
Install Note: The 3.1 Beta 2 release will install alongside a Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition installation by default and show up in your PortableApps.com Menu with a "Test" suffix. The installer supports upgrading existing 3.0 installations by manually changing the install location as well.

But the "Test" suffix didn't shown in the PortableApps.com Menu ..Just show Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition ...

I need to put the mouse on the menu and see the folder location to identity which one is 3.1 and 3.0

My situation is pretty unusual. The Flash drive is doing ok, but I like so much FF portable that I have FF3.0.5 installed on my hard drive, and made it default. FF3.1 beta2 coexists, beautifully, with 3.0.5, but there are problems, with two websites, so far, who open/use 3.0.5, but with the profile of 2.0.0.20, which is not portable. Aside for the unusual mix, should I go portable all the way, and do away with the conventional 2.0.0.20.
