Firefox Portable

Does anyone know how you can run both Firefox Portable and local Firefox at the same time? I tried changing the .exe names so that the image name is different but it doesn't let you run it twice.

thanks for you help.

Hi.
I have downloaded Firefox to my USB, and clicked on the mozzila firefox sign. So the page started to load, and then it said Timed out (in the bottom left corner of the screen.) is there something wrong with my copy of the application.
HELP!

I created a RAM disk and installed Portable Firefox onto it with fasterfox loaded and tried the prefetching. I am blown away by the increase in speed. I tried this in the past with non-portable FF but this is much better!
What a great use of my previously unused RAM! You can also set a ramdisk to not create an image upon shutdown, thus making all of your surfing dissapear. You have to copy over Portable FF every time in that case, but it only takes a few seconds.

I want to be able to use the Back/Forward button (and history.back()) functionality of the browser in the CDROM Version of Portable FF. How can I enable that functionality? Is it possible at all? Where will the History be saved (if it will be)?

Greetings,

I got the automated update form Firefox portable and after it was complete all my add ons are no longer working. It looks like I will ahve to re-install them all by hand.

Anyone else seen this problem?

Anyone know how to automate a recovery or to aviod the problem in the forst place?

but i ask myself :

I have a firefox portable on my usb flashdrive, i have moved it to my computer and used it on my computer for the last week or so, but i want to install firefox as a program, not have it portable, but i still want my tabs, passwords and favorites and plugins, how do i do this?

Is there a way to disable the splash screen? I recognize that the splash is probably some commercial compromise for PA, but I open and close browser windows dozens of times a day, it's really a distraction.

I searched the forums and didn't find any Firefox 2.0.0.6 specific help on this. Thank you!

I was wondering if its possible to install Google gears on Portable firefox?

If so, how to go about doing so.
If not, is anyone working on this yet?

Thanks
T.

running fportable from my flash drive for past 2 months and yesterday i get a message that it cannot run from a read only location. but my flash drive isnt read only and so are the folders in it! i'm lost.

Hi everyone,

I have a major problem/bug with Firefox portable, and I subscribed to the forum hoping that I am not the only one who had this issue, and hopefully that someone has a cure for it.

Symptoms:

• When I enter a URL that does not exist or a URL whose server is down, Firefox portable freezes for about 15-30 seconds before I finally get the page that says "Problem loading page / Server not found".

Frequency:

• Always.
