Firefox Portable

Hi!
I have a little problem: We have a computer room in our school and we often use it. But I can't use Firefox because a special software recognizes the process "firefox.exe" and kills it. So I want to rename "firefox.exe" to "fire.exe". It works, but i can' open Firefox from the menu. The PC prints that he wasn't able to find "firefox.exe". So I made a shortcut named "firefox.exe". But it still printed the same.
So I used Linux to remove the *.ink at the end. It was: firefox.exe.Ink and I made it to "firefox.exe". But it seems that he couldn't use the shortcut anymore.

Hello,

I just installed Firefox 3 Portable on my USB flash drive (Treckstor USB 2.0, 8 GB) and it is incredibly slow. With Firefox 2 I could almost work normally with the browser as if it were installed, but Firefox 3 is a snail!

It takes up to a minute or more just to launch the application. And from typing an URL to actually seeing the page it lasts about 45 seconds! Are you kidding me? The drive's LED is constantly flashing while browsing, and everytime you click something on a webpage the browser freezes for a short time!

Hi,

I'd like to know where the bookmarks file for FF 3 Portable is stored. I tried modifying the one under /Data/profile....it doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks.

I cannot see images on iGoogle on firefox portable edition.

Any clue about this ?

It happens on Firefox 2 and 3. Only on the portable edition.

Thanks.

I am well accustomed to Opera, but I want to switch to firefox, so is there any way to add functions or any particular settings to Firefox to add functions like speed-dial, alphabet search etc.

I'm sorry in case this has been mentioned before.

When I first start the new FF3 I'm asked on first run if I would like to enable or disable session restore. In this window it also reads that I can change this later and I will find out how on the Firefox Portable support page. I couldn't find anything.

Where can I change these settings?

thanks,
nicolllen

I have installed Firefox 3.0 on local drive, when I start Firefox through FirefoxPortable.exe the program run without the add-ons, but if I start Firefox by throgh Firefox.exe located in FirefoxPortable\App\firefox I do see all add-ons and toolbars.

I just downloaded and installed the final of FF3 portable. However, I can't install my favorite extension: Foxmarks. It consistently throws me an error when clicking Install: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption).

The fix on the Foxmarks wiki (restarting FF) doesn't help: http://wiki.foxmarks.com/wiki/Foxmarks:_Frequently_Asked_Questions#Download

Does anyone know what is wrong?

Umm...
i LOVE all things portable apps and all, but why is it that the download for firefox 3 is 8.0 mb for the portable version, but only 7.1 for the pc version? Does the PC version compress better perhaps?

Please make a full backup copy of your Firefox 2 installation.
Edit:I.E. Do not upgrade your One and Only copy of your Perfectly Configured FF2P
You know, the one you spent hundreds of hours tweaking and perfecting

Many things may get screwed up by the upgrade to FF3 that are beyond our control.
I'm thinking here of Add-ons/extensions that won't work properly till they are updated.

If you find that you have Add-ons that are not ready for FF3 they will be disabled.
