How can i import my FF3 settings (bookmarks, Add-ons etc) into portable FF3.
I have searched for this but couldn't find the answer I need. So if it has been posted before - my apologies.
The questions - I'm running on FFP2.0.0.16:
1. Do I update by simply downloading the FFP3 file and installing it on top of FFP2 and it will get all my settings/profile/etc. from the old version or I'll have to manually remove FFP2, then install FFP3, then do all my settings again?
2. If I don't like FFP3 can I switch back to FFP2 without losing my settings, profile, etc.?
Thank you.
i've been using firefox portable for about a year now on my flash drive. starting today, whenever i try to launch it it goes through the set up that happened when i first installed it and then doesn't launch. i tried reinstalling it but the same thing happens.
When I run PortableFirefox, does it write any cookies, cache, bookmarks, password etc anywhere on C: , e.g. users/Appdata folder?
Or is all activity within PortableFirefox stored inside its own folder?
And where is the PortableFirefox v3 cache located? I cannot see it anywhere inside the PoretableFirefox folder.
Thank you
The Customize Google addon has stopped working correctly in Firefox Portable 3.*. It works fine in the normal vesion of Firefox, but in the portable version it does not remove ads from the search results page. Ugh. I have verified on several different machines that with a fresh install with default settings across the board and only the Customize Google addon installed the problem only occurs in FF Portable. Is there something different between the two versions that would cause this? Is anyone else having this problem?
Some sites, http://www.gmail.com, http://addons.mozilla.org, and http://sourceforge.net for example, work fine on my native install of Firefox 2.0.0.16, but not on the portable version I have on my flash drive. I have no clue why. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Thanx for help ....
When I attempt to start Portable Firefox 3.0.1 with multiple tabs, using the "AdditionalParameters=http://www.yahoo.com|http://www.google.com" line in the FirefoxPortable.ini file, it fails to open the first tab and doesn't open the additional tab(s).
After investigating this further, I see that any colon after the initial colon is being removed.
How does one disable the annoying Firefox 3 Portableapps splash screen?
We all want to be closer to God, but this is hardly the way to draw His attention - or anyone else's for that matter 
A Web search produced only suggestions on how to do it in previous versions, and they don't seem to work.
Anyone?
