Firefox Portable

Some websites use FF2.0.0.20 profile, for 3.0.5

Submitted by ralston on December 20, 2008 - 2:38pm

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.

But version is just installed 3.0.5 and it is update from 3.0.4.

Thanks for attention,

FF Portable 2.0.0.20 Problems with Google

Submitted by mvalhara on December 19, 2008 - 3:25pm

I have FF Portable 3, which is working fine, as well as a standard Windows installation, also working fine.

However, I have strange problems with FF 2.0.0.2--

In the Google search bar in the upper right-hand corner of the browser, the automatic search suggestions no longer work.

When I try to access my Gmail, I get the message "This is taking longer than usual. Try reloading the page," and it never loads up.

Most frustratingly, when I visit a page with a Google ad, the entire browser freezes up and I have to close it with ctrl+alt+del.

Firefox starting three different ways!

I have a problem I have no idea how to begin to fix. I installed Firefox Portable 3.0.4 five days ago after I transferred all files on my USB to an external drive. This was because my old Firefox 3.0 which would run very reliably from a USB stick suddenly stopped working on Vista on my laptop. (Vista also crashed my USB stick regularly but that was a problem caused by other software on the stick) In an effort to correct this I installed a new (3.0.4) version of Firefox Portable and copied all files in the Data/profile directory across to the new version.

how to delete registry key of firefox portable 3.x within WIN XP without Administration account

Submitted by sl552114 on December 9, 2008 - 4:07pm

Alright, that's the issue: I can run firefox portable on the company computer, but of course it leaves the registry keys after being used.
Since firefox can 'write' them there without the administration account, how can I delete them from there again? I am thinking of a batch file maybe. But unfortuantely I cannot test stuff, but I don't want my admins to unveal my "dirty little secret", since then they'll find a way to block that as well, I'm sure!

Any quick help is absolutlely highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance...
