Firefox Portable

I'm a new user to portable apps from a thumb drive. I think its a great idea. I'm still a little shaky on installs - I'm running firefox from my USB drive and I'm trying to install Scrapbook - I'm not allowed - an error keeps popping up - do I need to do something differently to install add-ons using this set up.

I know this setup is far from ideal, but how long should it take FFP to launch using a USB 1.1 port in Win 98? I double click the FirefoxPortable.exe, the splash screen comes up & disappears, then....nothing. I've tried letting it sit for 10-15 minutes and nothing ever happens. If I CTRL-ALT-DEL, I see both FirefoxPortable and Firefox listed. I have to End Task on both and they come up Not Responding. The device I'm using is a 256MB USB 2.0 drive. Is it really that slow to load using a USB 1.1 port?

i have tried this on 2 different machines as well, both running vista ultimate. is there anything i can check?

Hi John,

When you go to the home page, you are taken to the google search page with a user already logged in to it.

You have the option to sign out, but fortunately cannot edit the (gmail) account in question.

Not sure if this is a problem in the source code or a problem on the website(search page) so I'm logging it here and on the FF feedback page.

Regards
Paul

for whatever reason gmail's favico won't go into a bookmark. I've never had this problem with non-portableapps version of firefox. favicon's do work with other sites I'm not sure what's going on.

I would like to know how to copy my firefox portable settings (except for tabs) to my Firefox at home. Is there anyway that I can do this and is it possilbe? Thank you.

After running the latest Beta with no additional extensions or add-ons installed, I found that a single registry entry is left after firefox is closed (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla\CurrentVersion). This entry is also left with 2.0.0.12 so I'm thinking it has something to do with my computer. The only way I can get rid if it is to delete the value manually. Again I hope that it is just the computer I am using, is there something I'm not doing? Any help would be appreciated.

How can I download flash player so that it can be used by my Firefox portable? I'm unable to view movies in firefox that need flash player, but it won't read the flash player from my local computer with flash, even though on internet explorer, I can view it just fine.
Any suggestions?

Whenever I try the play a vidoe, such as on YouTube or a Yahoo news video, there is NO SOUND. The video plays fine. The sounds are all enabled. Just NO SOUND. I have Flash installed, but I'm not certain if it is working. It's only on my portable drive, not on the main computer.

While browsing with Firefox Portable, I would like to open AIM uri's (aim:goim?screenname=JohnDoe)using Pidgin Portable. Is it possible and how? Or is it something that would require registry edits on the machine?

Also, if this has been addressed elsewhere, please let me know what search terms you used to find the answer, as I've been racking my brain to figure it out.
