Firefox Portable

Bookmarks mapping for flash drive changes
at home and for it's portability purpose away from home.

At home the range is usually somewhere between D: and H:
and away from home the range is going to be greater. In
any case it would affect all of the following:

1) home page whether my file or the help file in portablefirefox

2) location of the profile directory in a keyword shortcuts (shortcuturl=)

3) working files on c: at home or copied versions on flash
drive away from home accessed from keyword shortcuts.

4) .BAT file used to copy from home computer to the
flash drive using the same directory names and structure.

I have Firefox at home on my computer and I use it on a thumb drive at school and keep making new bookmarks in each version of the program I keep forgetting which version has a particular bookmark and I can't run them at the same time. Does anyone know how to synchronise the bookmarks between my regular firefox and Firefox portable so that both sets are kept current? Thanks.

Is it possible to add any fonts to Firefox Portable.
I did find a font directory but it has some file types that I do not understand. If there is a directory I could manually add i do not mind trying.

I just encountered a weird problem with FFP (I am using the 2.0 RC3 version). A search in this forum did not reveal anyone with a similar problem. I would be glad if someone could help me with it.

Following the instructions on the FFP site, I had copied my profile and extensions from the local FF (FF2.0 stable, on my computer) to the FFP Data folder (on my USB drive). And it appeared to work for a while, in that I had all the extensions enabled in my FFP and it ran as desired.

But today, when I started FFP, only the base version of FF loaded without any extension whatsoever! Even after closing the app and rerunning it, I am still getting the base version.

Here is my folder structure:
C:\
- removable (folder)
FirefoxPortable.ini
FirefoxPortable.exe
index.html
+ App (folder)
+ Data (folder)
+ Other (folder)
+ Website (folder)

and here is my FirefoxPortable.ini:

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

I ran into the infamous message, "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

I had no trouble starting a single instance of Firefox Portable, but once Firefox was running, if I did something like

Start/Run/k:\Portable\FirefoxPortable.exe http://www.google.com/ig

intending for it to open the link in the existing Firefox window, I got the message. I had set "AllowMultipleInstances=true" in FirefoxPortable.ini.

In *my* case, setting it to "AllowMultipleInstances=false" made the error go away. I was running FP2-RC3. I post this info in case someone else can use the info.

Sometime in the middle of the day yesterday, I started seeing a blinking cursor on EVERY page I visited in FFP. It doesn't just appear in text-input areas. It appears everywhere. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I just received an automatic update to 1.5.0.8.. could this be the start of the rumored step-up patch??

how do i get firefox portable to use my profile when i set it as the default browser, cause it's using a different profile i think the default profile when i set it.

I am not making this up. I tried to install the Flash plug-in following the directions here https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#plugins. As soon as the thing finishes downloading, it disappears from the Extensions window! Now what?
