Firefox Portable

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?

I've read the instructions for transferring FF settings to Portable FF. When I navigate to Firefox\Profiles I don't find \default.??? Do I simply copy the contents of my Firefox 2.0 profiles folder to the Portable Firefox profile folder? Thanks.

Firefox cannot locate the internet, and just times out...help, ive got version 1.5 and 2, dont know much about pc's, using off a Kingsston 1gb usb.

If I do ANY bookmark management, mozilla freezes while it writes to the USB drive. Is there some way to make this process faster (other than copying the directory locally, which kind of defeats the purpose)?

Hi, sorry i am not a tech person. I love portable apps.
I am using portable firefox. The latest RC3. Yesterday i took my USB home and got a strange message...
file corrupt firefox/data/profile/prefs/js

That should be backslashes but i cannot find the key.
I have tried to remove and reinstall the program but it will not let me remove the file....
please help me...

thanks

Few versions ago (I'm on 1.5.0.7) I've started encountering problems with printing from Portable FireFox (PFF). Never had those up to version 1.5.0.4.

Now since yesterday, with no other changes, my PFF is pretty much not functioning.
Other apps, including browsers are running just fine, but PFF has this reloading circle running all the time with page not being reloaded. Not any particular site or page, but many different ones. USB flash drive is working, files are being accessed with no problems.

At this state it is unusable. Closing PFF app and opening again helped few times for few minutes, but is no longer a solution. All the cache, cookies, temp files, and such were dumped.
