Firefox Portable

Multiple instances DOES NOT WORK (despite .ini file change)

Submitted by portableuser1 on November 3, 2008 - 12:28am

I searched around a bit and found that to run multiple instances of firefox, the ini file is to be changed (and put in same directory as the portable exe file). I did this with the following line (changed from "=false" to "=true")

AllowMultipleInstances=true

But this still does not work !!!!!

Any help appreciated.

The ini file change was suggested at

Firefox was working fine yesterday. Today when I try to start I get an XULRunner error box that says:
Error:App:Name not specified in application.ini

This happened earlier this week as well and I assumed that something got corrupted. So, I reinstalled Firefox and everything worked fine for a couple of days.

Windows XP Professional
noname 4GB USB flash drive
No locally installed Firefox

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

Firefox 2.0.0.17- multiple windows?

Submitted by bluebell_rose on October 29, 2008 - 2:15pm

for some reason when I pop open FFP 2.0.0.0.17, it opens 100s of firefox windows and I only clicked once. I've downgraded then upgraded and the issue seems to have corrected itself, but it pops up no and then. I constantly have to upgrade and downgrade my ffp. I haven't upgraded to 3.0.3 since it runs abymsyally slow on my thumbdrive

portable Firefox auto-importing Bookmarks/ Add-ons - can it be disabled?

Submitted by talkative on October 25, 2008 - 11:07pm

Firefox Portable automatically imports:
* Bookmarks
* Add-Ons
...from my current Firefox 2 (non-portable) installation.

1) Is there a way of disabling this?
2) Is there a way to get green BACK and FORWARD buttons like the desktop release, not the current blue ones?

firefox problem - clicking buttons? Can't log into any sites that require you to click

Submitted by wildmedic on October 25, 2008 - 5:26pm

Recently updated my firefox portable to the newest version. Since then, I cannot log into or do much within the browser that requires me to click a button.

ie: logging into hotmail, or facebook. enter the name and password..then click enter.. and nothing works.

firefox stays running after exit

Submitted by wolf99 on October 24, 2008 - 11:18am

Hi All

If I close ff and then the papps menu and click the windows icon to remove my device I get a message that the device is still being used. If I do the same thing a second time everything goes normally. No ff process (or any other papps proc that I can see) shows in the task manager after exiting ff, but this does not happen if I use the papps menu but not ff.

A minor annoyance but would even just like to know what causes it.

Ta!
