Firefox Portable

So after reading articles about spyware and USB drives... I was left with the question how do I scan a USB drive?

I know I can point my AV program to scan it, but how about any spyware? I can't seem to point a spyware scanner (I use current Spybod S+D) to the USB. Can't malware embed itself in my USB drive and still mess me up?

And when I surf anywhere with FFP, am I still protected by the friewall on the PC I'm using?

Anyone? Bueller?

I'm building a help and installation CD that will use a local PFF and as part of the process of installing applications I need to execute an exe file. When linking to an exe file I only get the option of saving it when I need to Run it.
What is the trick to enabling the Run for an executable and can I script that so the newbie users don't even see the Run/Save dialog?

There will be no Internet access and it will be a fully closed system so we should be able to relax the security settings.

PFF 1.5.0.6

Thanks

I am not able to install the cooliris extension on my portable firefox from www.cooliris.com. However, there are no problems when installing it on my regular firefox 1.5.0.6. Any suggestions?

I use Firefox Portable as my default browser on my hard drive. Works fine for everything except MSNBC videos, which I can live without.

Often, though not always, when I trigger a link in some other application, I will get a dialog box which reads like this:

Error opening file.
File not found.
http://localhost:85/admin/myjsas.php

This one was triggered by clicking for the info page on MyJSAS server. Other things, like links in my email or in a document cause similar dialog boxes. They go away when I click OK.

The link does open, even before I click OK. But ... is there something I have set up wrong?

I just started using Portable Firefox. It is working great. But I do have 1 gripe, When I close out portable Firefox I have to wait about 60 seconds before I can pull the drive out.

I have cache set to 0 in Firefox. Can’t think of what else to do to cut down on the writes to the drive when I close out Firefox. Any suggestions? Or is this normal behavior for Portable Firefox to write to the drive for 60sec when closing it out?

I am using a corsair 1gig flash voyager USB drive.

FireTune does not seem to find my profile on FFP 1.5.0.6...anyone else having trouble with this? Suggestions?

I have FirefoxPortable Bon Echo Beta 1 running on my PC. It's the version that first got the visual refresh for the tabs and x's. So I had Firefox 2 Beta 1 (portable version) running before this one, and it was the one that just got the visual refresh. So I copied the profile folder and config file into the new version. The problem I'm now having is that I have some bookmarks that I want to remove and some to add. I remove the bookmarks, add others, and after I restart the browser, the bookmark I removed is still there and the bookmarks I added aren't there. This happens every time. Does anybo

I was at work today and were just doing training so if noone has questions we do whatever we want so I was looking through and installing extensions onto Fire Fox Portable from here(U3 edition) And I just got home and popped in my U3 drive and started up FireFox Portable and none of my extensions were there.

Did it install the extensions to the HDD? I can't check until tommorow.

Is it because I have the U3 eddition? Should I uninstall that, download the regular portableapps edition and then just install it into U3 using the manifest hack?

How do I get it to install extensions onto the USB drive?

I use firefox portable from CD-R now. But if i added a new extension, where i can found the extension to make a copy to use next in flash drive?

Hi! Hope somebody can help me. I just downloaded and installed Firefox Portable into my notebook-- had to resort to the portable app because I need Admin rights to install a software that modifies the registry-- and I dont have admin password. It worked fine when I browsed the intranet, but when I try surfing any websites outside of the intranet, google, or Firefox's default homepage for example, I cant connect and just get timed out. If I try using Internet Explorer, theres no problem with the connection. How should I configure (or whatever) the Firefox Portable app for it to work?
