Firefox Portable

I have two devices. On one, I moved the existing firefox directory to FirefoxPortable.dec under the PortableApps. I added the new Firefox instance.

from my laptop, I was able to login, set preferences, install add-ons to the portable hard-drive.

Accessing the drive, via a permissions restricted Customer Site PC (Windows 2000), there was a message indicating that the security component would not initialize. Tracking down the error message indicated that it was trying to open profiles from under the C:\Document and Settings.

Hi. a quicky about the text search function in firefox: when i type ctrl+F i get a fully featured search bar with highlight, previous, next option etc. If i just start typing the text i want to search, i dont get those option. annoying (it wasnt like this in firefox version prior to 2.0.0.2 i think).

anyways to get the fully featured search bar option by just "search as i type"?

Thanks

Hello everybody.

I've got the problem that it seems not possible for me to start PortableFirefoxLive from a cd-r using autostart.

I'd like to have Firefox starting on putting the cd-r into a drive. So I got the edited firefox.ini to run Firefox from a cd-r, copied the whole stuff to the root of the cd-r and used the following string in the autostart.inf:

[autorun]
open=FirefoxPortable.exe
icon=sicon.ico

So, if I put the cd-r in any computer nothing happens, only the dataexplorer pops up and shows me the content of the cd-r ... that's it.

...at all. Neither will ThunderbirdPortable.

The splash screen appears. Then nothing. The app vanishes from the process list. Ditto for 7Zip. Notepad++ did throw an exception on the first try, but will start now.

FileZilla, Eraser and SumatraPDF work fine.

I'm using A SanDisk Cruzer micro 4GB USB stick.

Can this be a performance issue? At home I have an old 1,3GHz Celeron system with 768MB RAM with XP Professional (with USB 2, though). At the office computer the apps worked.

I need an add-on that can create links out of text. It can recognize text links and such so I can just click on them and not have to use the copy paste method.

Hi,
the following problem:
I use Firefox at work (runs almost all the time).
And I want to use also Portable Firefox at the same time, but I get the message "another instance bla bla..".
I want to do this to keep my settings and bookmarks completetly separate, therefore the same browser should run twice.

Any ideas how to acomplish that?

Thanks for your help

Firefox will not restart after an auto-update.

This occured at the last update also.
On this occassion, I deleted a new Mozilla cookie and all was well.
Not so this time!

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I think I found an error.

The Documets and Setting\[user]\Application Data\Firefox folder always created after I launched the portable firefox app.
Does not matter that I deleted this folder previously.

Can soembody turn off this folder creation ?

Thanks
