Firefox Portable

You can have multiple portable profiles in three little steps. Still, you won't be able to run them at the same time.

STEP 1 : Create the profiles

The normal architecture of the firefox portable folder is:

-FirefoxPortable
   -App
   -Data
   -Other

You need to create multiple "Data" folders (one for each profile) in firefox portable. You can either keep "Data" as the default folder, or just erase it. You can name the folders as you wish. You can replace profile1, profile2, profile3, by Serious, Naughty, extensionTester if you prefer.

My portable version keeps "forgetting" logins on sites. This is not the sites logging me out, but apparently the cookies disappearing.
Is that a known Firefox issue, a portable issue or am i just unlucky?

I am trying to download the portable firefox both ver. 2 and ver. 3 but the damn link takes me to sourceforge and then nothing gets downloaded...neither the direct link is working.

Please advise...I NEED to download the both versions of firefox.

Thanks,

I'm running Firefox Portable, but it doesn't seem to be caching the webpages, which I want. I need the whole webpage stored in history, because I work offline mostly.

I've looked in Options; it lets me change the size of the cache, but I don't see where I can make it save the whole page.

Thank you.

I have installed extensions on this portable app, but now in 3.0.1 they have all disappeared. I'm not certain that moving to 3.x.x effected the loss.

Can someone help?

I am using a portable version of FF3.0.1 on WinXP SP2 at work laptop and it was working perfectly till this morning. What's important I haven't changed anything in the configuration...

But today morning I tried to start it, I saw the splashscreen and then nothing happended!

I have tried to run Firefox portable apps at work -- but can't seem to get it ot work. Other portable apps do work -- but not Firefox? DO you think our network has blocked it somewhow?

Thunderbird works just fine.

Is there any way to get this to work?

When I open a link from Outlook Express or any other application calling FFP for that matter - it opens some other version of FFP - it's the same version, but has different addons, etc. and the history is different for both. So it's like the same FFP but with slight variations? Has anyone experienced this?

I know that this is a little off-topic, but I need some help.
I'll start saying that i can't access the FoxyProxy support, because my network admin block the access to any url that contains the word proxy (among others) on it.
That said, some time ago, I read a topic here where someone told that FoxyProxy could be set to identify different networks so it can automatically change between proxy settings.
So, what I need to know is how I can set it to identify my current network so it can change between the two proxy server we use, one in each bulding.
