Firefox Portable

I'm a long time Firefox user and I'm thinking of uninstalling Firefox and replacing it with Firefox Portable. The main draw of Firefox Portable is that it requires no installation which is a big plus for me since I've had some issues with Firefox's modification of my registry settings in the past. So, should I go ahead and remove Firefox in favor of Firefox Portable? Or is there some features that Firefox have that the portable version don't? Thanks.

It seems like RC2 has just been one fun discovery after another for me...

In any event, the last few days it has been crashing several times a day - usually when I am selecting a filter or other javascript on a page, but occasionally just when I am on one page and go to my bookmarks to move to another page. Just me being lucky?

My addons (in case that's the problem) are AdBlockPlus, StumbleUpon and FoxyProxy. All of which were updated and supposedly are FF3 compatible.

Appreciate any help. I am submitting the crash reports, but figured I'd check here just in case.

This comment was just posted on my blog, and is identical to my own experience using both Firefox 3 and Portable 3

"I had the beta version and it eliminated the memory issues on all versions but then it did its upgrade to the current version and the memory problem came back. I had to delete version 2 and reinstall fresh. Not sure why, but now my version 3 still has the memory issue even after reinstalling it."

... when trying to change options to delete personal info...
Do someone else have this issue?

The error when double clicking the Firefox_Portable_3.0_RC2_de.paf.exe file is

Error launching Installer

Same error when install over the portableApps Menu.

The English version works well.
I use on a Korean Windows Xp Home with SP3.

Hi,

I'm under windows with firefox 3 rc2 installed. I installed the simple mail add-on (http://tinyurl.com/yrqzyo) for my user and I can't find where the extension is installed. Firefox is installed in the c:\firefox3 and I can't find simple mail add-on in C:\firefox3\Data.

Can anybody help me ?

Regards.

So a long time ago I had FF2 installed on my computer, and then I saw the portable test version of FF3, back in beta 2. I thought it looked cool, wanted to try it out, but didn't want to destroy my FF2 just in case, so I installed the portable version, started completely fresh (didn't bring over the bookmarks or anything; they tend to clutter), and never looked back.

Hi,

I'm not being able to customize the program settings of Firefox Portable (2.0.0.14).

Even changing the default startup homepage (I normally disable that and choose "Show a blank page"), is not being saved.

Anything I change is lost when I close the program, is this the expected behavior?

Regards,
Ricardo

I'm hoping that someone here can help me. I've been using Firefox 3 Portable at work. Recently the automatic update triggered, and firefox tried to update. The update failed, and firefox crashed. When I tried to reopen firefox, I get the splash screen, and then the crash message pops up. It does this everytime.

I'm not sure if just my configuration, but to be honest I consider myself a fairly advanced FF user, it's been my main browser for about 4 years. However, after switching to FF3 Portable I noticed it's holding onto cookies, even though I specified in the options to delete cookies when I close FF. Any idea why this is happening?
