John,

Thank you so much for the FFP2.0.0.15 update.
I, like many I think, do not feel that FF3 is ready for prime time portable use Blum
Because of this FFP3 is even less so Blum
This of course is not your fault.

I think a lot of the posts indicate that it is just too slow for flash drives unless we turn off about every new feature.
In my testing it really does not really seem to add any features that are that great anyway,
unless you count the new 54MB MALWARE protection, but as we have seen this is problematic for flash drives and modems.

Bookmarks

Hello, here I am again after a while without any problems...

I use FF3 portable (great!) for 3 weeks now and have a problem with my big bookmark list (3000 and more). In FF2 I tagged all my bookmarks using the addon "enhanced bookmark search". I used the field "keywords" and not the field "tags" to assign my search words. This addon doesn't work in FF3, so I can't search in my list now, because FF3 only allows to search by tags, I understood.

So I have a few questions:

1. Is it possible to get all my keywords copied or tranferred to the tag-field?

Installing FF3 on PAP

Ok I would like to know if I am able to have in instances of Firefox on my Portable Apps Platform?

I already have FF2 on it and would like to put FF3 on it. There are a few add-on's that FF3 still dosen't have so that is why I still FF2 around.

I have no intention of running both at the same time either.

What affects portability?

I use Mozilla products. (Firefox and Thunderbird) but their portable versions so i can have everything gathered to a folder.

Anyway what i would like to know is what affects portability,in case i decide to take them on flash drive and use them on an internet cafe.

For example I've set them both as default programs.Firefox for browsing and Thunderbird for mail.Is that information stored on the programs or is there a record made in the registry for the portable instances?
