Can not rid saved addresses from address bar

Submitted by Robintun on September 22, 2008 - 11:55pm

On the left of the address bar in v3 is a pull down arrow that lists 12 address sites for me. I think they are of sites that were directly typed into the bar but I am not sure, they might be frequently visited sites. No matter what I try and where I look I can not rid it of these addresses. I even have the privacy tab clearing all data each time I close FF and it is still there. I looked through every folder and expected to find a file in the profile subfolder, but I could not. How do I eliminate this from being saved all the time and how do I delete the ones there currently?

Portable firefox loads differently on each computer...

Submitted by dirvxrippimp on September 18, 2008 - 10:41am

This is really annoying me, firefox doesnt seem to be loading my toolbars and add-ons correctly....

On some comouters it shows a few of my buttons and toolbars, and some of the add-ons work...
On some computers half of my add-ons are disabled or appear as if they were just installed...
If i use it on the computer it was originaly setup on, it works perfect, and it works perfect on one other computer that i customized the toolbars on.

But as im typing, the computer im on now loads it as if it were a fresh install...

Firefox Welcome Screen and Default Browser

Submitted by kidmalcom on September 18, 2008 - 9:08am

Firefox 3 portable is always asking me EVERYTIME I start it if I would like to make it my default browser. There is a check box that says "Always perform this check when starting firfox" and I always uncheck it, but it always shows up. It also is not recognizing custom homepage's. It only shows the firefox google (as well as the firefox welcome screen in a new tab.)

Is there any way to fix this?

corrupted extention - cannot run Firefox or delete folders

Submitted by socal on September 15, 2008 - 4:17pm

Somehow an extension corrupted my Firefox portable. Everything worked great for many months and until this morning. Whenever I started FF-P the splash screen would show and FirefoxPortable.exe & firefox.exe would show up in the Processes tap of the Windows Task Manager. A couple of seconds later both instances of firefox in the Processes tab would disappear. I tried reinstalling FF-P - this dis not fix the problem.

The Bookmarks file

Submitted by 123martin321 on September 14, 2008 - 6:24am

Where exactly does FFP store bookmarks?
I have "Bookmarks.html" files in several locations in my portable folder.
Namely in:
FirefoxPortable\Data\profile
FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\profile
FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\defaults\profile

The funny thing is, that even if I delete all these .html files, FFP still remembers my bookmarks!

I'd like to have a single bookmark file so that I easily can sync my FFP bookmarks to my FF bookmarks on my home computer (I use another program, Toucan, for syncing).
