Firefox Portable

Hi All
Was halfway thru posting a new topic about errors I got trying to visit geeks.com, when I remembered to try a new thing I found a few weeks ago.
It worked, showing me the site was down, so I thought I'd share it..

down for everyone or just me checks the site themselves and lets you know the result. Handy.

Hi,

I have the latest FF on my Desk and want a copy of it with its info on my laptop as I am going away.

I already have the latest FF on the laptop but don't want to change it if I can help it.

Can I run both of them on the laptop and how can I install FFP using my current cookies, passwords, blah blah. Is it better to install on the Desk or on the laptop?

Thanks

oz

This has probably been around for a while. According to the launcher source, these three INI params are required -

"${APPNAME}Directory"
"ProfileDirectory"
"SettingsDirectory"

So try using this INI -

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
# PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
# FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
# AdditionalParameters=
# LocalHomepage=
DisableSplashScreen=true
# AllowMultipleInstances=false
# DisableIntelligentStart=false
# SkipChromeFix=false
# SkipCompregFix=false

I'm having a major problem with my Portable firefox, this has only started to happen recently and i am unsure of the exact nature of the problem

Any advice / ideas?

please note, i have not changed any files in the Firefox portable directory, and this error only seems to occur on the college computer system.

I would make it portable myself, but I don't really know how.

Hey...
I was shocked to find out that FFP is leaving '0 KB' files behind in 'Data\profile\Cache', with the original names. I had 208 of these files laying in there. Then people would be able to see which files I have checked out :(.
Here is a screenshot of the issue: http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/4678/0kbfilesgt9.png . There's both .wmv files and .php files.

I opened up Firefox today and when the extensions tried to update they failed then when it opened none of my extensions were working I checked and they are all in the right place if anyone knows what is going on please tell me

i have 2 different folder, which is one is firefox portable only
and the other +plugin

the one with plugin i change the exe into FirefoxPortable + Plugin.exe

both of them i try to run (i often use the +plugin one), and i notice the FirefoxPortable.exe (clean one) and FirefoxPortable + Plugin.exe will disappear and only show firefox.exe at task manager

if i remember correctly since i installed this and after a few days use, it supposed to be show 2 processes at task manager the firefox.exe and the FirefoxPortable + Plugin.exe, for example...

whenever i open up multiple tabs that have just jpgs on them my cpu usage goes to 100% and it takes a second or 2 to switch from each tab. this has only happened fairly recently and it doesn't happen when i view the tabs with ietab. anyone have any ideas? thanks

My question regards Firefox Portable. I am currently using this software from the USB drive (flash disk), and wanted to know if it leaves any trace whatsoever on the machine it is used (whether it be encrypted or unencrypted files, cookies, history, URLs typed on the address bar etc).

When using IE7, if I downloaded a file, what IE7 would do is, it would download the file to the Temperary Internet Folder, and once download is completed it would copy from the TIF location to the saved location. How does this work in Firefox Portable, when downloading files videos?
