Firefox Portable

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.

FFP 2.0 was working for me. Now, it loads PortableApps' splash and that is IT! The most recent extention I installed was Fasterfox ( https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1269/ ) which worked fine for a day, but now it wont load.

Here is a list of my other extentions and themes. A few of them I updated since I made the list, so not all of the version numbers might not be the same.

Extensions (enabled: 47, disabled: 4):

* Batch Download 1.1.2
* BBCode Formatting Extension (Alpha) 0.0.388a1 [disabled]
* BBCodeXtra 0.2.5.6
* Bookmark Duplicate Detector 0.6.2
* Check4Change 1.6
* ConquerTell 1.1.5

is there something i can do so that when i plug my flash drive in at school so that i can bypass school fire walls and get on myspace n stuff?

i looked for a portable proxy but i was too afraid to download any for fear of a virus

I've downloaded some extensions and installed successfully, restarted Firefox but they have not been loaded (still remaining the message "This add-on will be installed when Firefox is restarted" in Add-ons window) but they have when I copied Firefox Portable to hard drive.

I've had alot of computer problems recently. So, I may have to try reinstalling my XP and start all over. But, I'm trying to pick away at things and see, even if I start all over, that I at least understand where things went haywire.

My specific error on FF Portable is this error that I get when it starts "Illegal Operation Plug In". There was no other info to identify it. I went to extensions and uninstalled the only one there (Duh - I don't even know which one it was), then tryed restarting and get the same thing.

Any ideas what this is? Is it XP doing bad things or is it FF?

How do I get the QFA into FxP?

The plugin installer can't detect the browser installation directory. Or, if Firefox is already installed on the host machine, it will likely install the plugin to the regular Fx installation.

There is an alternate validation method (browser independent), so this is just a heads-up.

I just got the FirefoxPortable to launch by renaming the exe file to word. Now, why is it that when I have the Firefox from my PC open and go to open the portable version I get a message saying that Firefox is already open. Is there a way to make the whole program look like Microsoft Word?
