Firefox Portable

I am still running Firefox 2.0.0.16:
Ages ago (see https://portableapps.com/node/4589) [and probably referring to 2.0.0.8 or similar] I was able to report that during Firefox sessions there was "no usb activity whatsoever".

What could be the reason for FF3 to be extremely slow in different PCs in which FF 2 performs readily. I downloaded a fresh program with the same result. They have only 12 add-ons and are theme-less. Thanks in advance

At first I thought I was having a Foxmarks issue, but now I think I'm having general bookmark problems.

If I bookmark a page and just add it to the general default folder, it shows up in the Bookmarks dropdown, but it does not show up in Bookmarks --> Organize Bookmarks.

When I bookmark a page and choose the folder, it lists folders that aren't actually available anywhere else.

Regarding Foxmarks, I have tried to do a "Force overwrite of local bookmarks" but no bookmarks are added even though there are no errors in my Foxmarks log.

Hi All,

Recently, I'm having problems logging into and staying logged in to forums.

It started with the mozillazine forum which I could not see the "confirmation code" in FFP3.0.1 and only sometimes in IE7.

After installing the flash player correctly it seemed to work, but only once.

Now I'm having similar problems with other forums;
- hydrogenaudio forum it struggled to log in.
- freecommander forum does not stay logged in.
- mozillazine forum cannot log in.

My firefox portable seems to be running the plug ins from my computer installation of firefox. Is this safe? Is this normal?

Thanks

is it possible to change the search area of the desktop google search?

It seems to be linked to the users location and i do not want to use google.se i would prefer google.co.uk!

Is there a way to set the default to what i require?

cheers Nick

my antivirus program at work today detected the trojan win32/FaveAv.CX
in the installer program Firefox_Portable_2.0.0.15_en-us.paf.exe
and in the executable that's created or extracted by the installer.
It also happened to 3 others.
It was detected by computer associates etrust InoculateIT with signature 31.6.6037
on client version 6 and version 7.

I've scanned the Firefox_Portable_2.0.0.16_en-us.paf.exe and that comes up clean.

What's the deal? Is there really a trojan in it or is it a false alarm?

It seems not so easy like copy and paste, as there are different file extensions in the version ff3 for desktop.

Has anyone done that before?

I have FF3 in my computer and FF2 in PortableApps on my USB stick. I tried to move my FF3 profile to Portable Apps but it’s not working like before. Is there a step by step new procedure since FF3?

Could someone please help me. I have been able to download 'winzip' and 'winrar' files whilst in work for the last 6 months, now all of a sudden the IT dept have noticed and stopped any files larger than 10mb from being downloaded. A friend of mine advised that if I were to run Firefox portable on my usb drive that this should bypass the 10mb firewall rule, I have tried doing this and everything goes fine until I try connecting to the internet when running Firefox of my USB key, it keeps timing out, are there any other solutions I could use. Thanks in advance for any replies.
