Firefox Portable

I just allowed FFP 1.5.09 to update to 1.5.10
I am waiting a while before I go to FFP2.x

I notice something strange. It "seems" that FFP.exe (the launcher?) is launching ff.exe and then exiting?!

FFP.exe appears in the task manager and then disappears.
The files that appear in user APPDATA appear and then go way.

I thought that the launcher (ffp.exe) continued to run till firefox was closed, the way it does in TBP and CWP(I just tested it, the launcher TBP.exe stays open untill TB.exe is closed and than does the clean up in user APPDATA, same with CWP)

WHEN I TRY TO DOWNLOAD TO MY USB DRIVE THE UPDATE TO FIREFOX 2.0.0.2, THE INSTALL PROGRAM FIRST ATEMMPT A "PARTIAL" INSTALLATIÓN BUT NOT WORK. THEN AUTOMATICTLY RUN A TOTAL REINSTALL (7 MB) AND THE RESULT WAS OK BUT IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME (30 MIN IN 512 MB DSL CONECTION) ¿THIS IS NORMAL?
(SORRY FOR MAY BAD ENGLISH)

A dummy question.

I got a new vista machine today. The portables apps (firefox, thunderbird et al) all work, but one important part has a problem. I got an error message that says something like

Could not initialize the browser's security component. The most likely problem is your brower's profile directory. ....

With Firefox, I can browse some sites, but I can't log on to any sites that require userid or passwords. With Thunderbird, it has the same error message and then it just sits there spinning its wheels.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks

I assume by placing FirefoxPortable.ini in the same directory as portableFirefox.ini containing:

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
AdditionalParameters=
LocalHomepage=Web\index.htm
DisableSplashScreen=True
AllowMultipleInstances=false
DisableIntelligentStart=false
SkipChromeFix=false
SkipCompregFix=false
RunLocally=false

# The above options are explained in the included readme.txt

Hi all. Can someone advise me on something? From time to time, the following file is left on the host computer. \%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\pluginreg.dat

Most of the time, it is deleted after MF,PE close, but once in a while after installing or deleting an extension, it is left behind. Does anyone have any ideas why? I have the following extensions installed:

MySpell (French)
DOM Inspector
Download Statusbar
FireFTP
FoxyProxy
infoRSS
PermaTabs

Also, there seems to be one registry entry left behind. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org\Mozilla

If I start a download in FF and close FF, the download continues. But if I start a download in FFP and close FFP, the download disappears.

Also, I can run (in this order) AVG Anti-Spyware, Spybot, and Adaware. Then surf for an hour in FFP from a folder on my HDD. Then the programs pick up spyware. Would this happen from the thumb drive? I never Spyware scan my thumb drive. Should I?

Is it possible to set it up so that your cookies are stored on the USB drive only?

If I login to a web page on portable Firefox, off my USB drive and click 'remember login' - and then open up the same page in Firefox but stored on the computer; I'm still logged in.

Is it possible to do anything about this?

Thanks in advance

I had noticed that when i use portable firefox on phpBB based forums when i see that i have unread topics and enter discussion all unread topics already are "read". This strange behaviour doesn't present in not portable version of FireFox. I haven't checked on other type of forums.
Has anyone noticed this strange behaviour? Is there any config settings to disable this "auto read all" thing?

Hi!
When trying yo save Web pages appears the following message: "the . . . (file) could not be saved, because a file already exists with the same name as the '_files' directory. Try saving to a different location". There isn't same file in the mentioned place since it is the first time i try to download those (any) pages and even if i change the location same message continues appearing.
Can someone tell me want can i do to resolve the problem? Thanks a lot.
