Firefox Portable

I have trouble getting acces to my compnay Intranet using Firefox Portable via the Citric application. I can't install the neccesary ICA client.
My company laptop has been 'closed' by the ICT department so I can't install software on it.

I am a fan of the Portable Apps Tunderbird and Firefox.
They allow me to send e-mail and surf the web from my company laptop when connected to other than the company intranet.

I am having a problem with FF Portable on my work machine. While typing in a web page, if another open tab updates the cursor will jump in front of the last letter typed. I am then typing and pushing that letter along with the cursor if that makes sense. In my work environment I have several tabs open that update at least once a minute. I'm sure you can see what a problem this could be. There is an hour glass symbol next to the mouse cursor when this happens.

I'm not sure if this is an FF problem or something going on with the machine itself.

Any ideas?

Is it sensible to follow the procedure suggested here and use Universal Extractor simply to unpack Firefox 2.0 files into the "Apps" folder of Firefox Portable 2.0 RC3?

I appologize in advance if this quetion appears to be viewed as "needy" - I do appreciate all the time and effort that John and others have devoted to this community.

For FF 1.x subreleases, I have been able to select "Check for updates..." from the help menu to update FFP. However, as of this morning, I still receive a message stating no new updates for my version 1.5.0.7.

Will we need to wait for a major reinstall for the major release 2.0? Or am I just being impatient and need to wait for the update servers to catch up to the new release?

I run FfP 1.5.0.7 from a 2gb Adata thumb drive. When doing simple things in FfP such as switching tabs or opening a page in a new tab, the CPU usage soars and either operation takes a very long time. This doesn't happen with the Ff run from my C drive, nor do any other programs run slowly from the thumb drive.

Am I the only one having this problem?

Is there a way to fix it?

Thanks for your help.

I need to upgrade from FF1.5.7 on my iPod, which I installed manually (not a PortableApp.com mod), to FF2.0 Portable. Will my bookmarks, extensions, etc... be automatically migrated to the new install? If not, what are some ways I can gain access to those again?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

List any extensions that are marked as incompatible, but work.

Colorful Tabs 1.4

The latest dev-build of Tab Mix Plus works, and seems quite stable.

Shazou's latest version (1.1) is compatible and is marked as such.

Anybody heard of issues with any XUL extensions in FFP 2.0. I currently use Wizz RSS News Reader 2.1.6 and have tried Calc 1.0.2.1. Both are XUL apps. Looks like the Calc kept a history.

Any issues I should be careful of?

John,

I just "killed" a Firfox Portable RC3 session on purpose using the task manager.
When I started Firefox again it opened up all the tabs I had before. This is what this feature is supposed to do. But I wonder, might it not be a good idea to have this disabled by default in Firefox Portable to save "writes" to the flash drive. I know this is why disk cache and history are disabled. I assume that for Session Restore to work it must write the state of Firefox, all its windows and all its tabs to the drive so it can restore them. This, I assume happens over and over and over again.
