Firefox Portable

I am running FF portable 2.0 on my usb memory stick.

FF Portable is installed on: \PortableApps\Internet\Portable Firefox 2.0 Final\ and when my profile is in \PortableApps\Internet\Portable Firefox 2.0 Final\Data everything works great.

I tried to move my firefox profile to a different location and changed the variable LastProfileDirectory in FirefoxPortableSettings.ini to the new path but when I start FF it creates a new profile instead of using mine and writes a new LastProfileDirectory with the new profile directory . I found one method that works but is unstable.

Instead of executing PortableFirefox.exe I did \PortableApps\Internet\Portable Firefox 2.0 Final\apps\firefox\firefox.exe -profile y:\path-to-my-profile and it did load my profile but none of my extensions worked any more and when I try to go to the options for any one of my extensions, the Add-Ons window freezes up and I have to manually kill firefox.exe. AS soon as I copy the profile to the original location (\PortableApps\Internet\Portable Firefox 2.0 Final\Data) everything works great.

Is there a way I can get Firefox Portable 2.0 to save form information? I would like to have it remember my 12 digit library card number so I don't have to dig out my card every time I want to check my holds.

Sorry if this is a commonly asked question - I swear I looked!

Hi,i opened up firefox portable(1.5.0.8)and it opened up three tabs for various extensions as if had updated them,which i hadn't.I clicked on 'home' and the default homepage appeared, as in google.My homepage is yahoo so i was a little surprised

All my bookmarks have disappeared too,there's no sign of them.Is there some way of retrieving them?Where the heck did they go!!?

Is it possible i've been hacked?I've read that if your homepage is changed then it means you've been hacked. My connection is routed through a hardware firewall router which i was told was secure.I also ran tests,such as 'pinging' my connection and i was invisible according to the results.

according to this post https://portableapps.com/node/2990
my userChrome.css shoul be @
Firefox (portable)\Data\profile\chrome\userChrome.css
But in this directory
D:\progs\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile\chrome\
I only have
userChrome-example.css
&
userContent-example.css
What am i doing worng. My goal is to modify the GMarks extension to
#GM-star { list-style-image: url("chrome://gmarks/skin/star.gif") !important; }
(makes the blue star for this plugin become the normal bookmark star)

I really have no idea what I'm doing. It would be nice to have a file structure walkt

I noticed that the FirefoxPortableSettings.ini seems to have the date modified changed every time I launch FirefoxPortable.
Is this correct? Does the launcher write every time?
Does this reduce the life of the flash drive?
Can this be done in such a way as to modify only if the content has changed?
Are there any other files affected in the same manner?

Sorry for so many questions but I had a lot of doubts and wanted to be as clear as possible.

Hello,
I have upgraded to portable firefox 2, and John's page on his personal site which instructs how to make firefox look like IE links to a lot of Bamm's work, and the site has been down, for months.
I cant find any mirror at all for the files, so i cannot install them.
Does anyone have a copy of the extensions discussed on this page?

Thanks.

C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXXXX\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects

This is the path where the Flash Player in non-portable Firefox and in IE stores its shared objects (flash cookies).

Does anyone have any idea where Flash would store/access them from Portable Firefox? It's not storing them in the normal place.

My IT department has installed what they call "surfing software". they claim this allows them to monitor where we go on the internet. If I'm using portable firefox running on a flash drive can the software detect that?

I'm using my flash at work and was wondering where the cookies and visited web page information goes. Do the portable apps really leave no trace except for the registry entry?

Every time I FFP I have to change the setting to direct connect to the Internet. Is there a way to save that setting? By the way, I run it from a cd.
