Firefox Portable

hi,
i have a problem, i was on a year abroad, and took my mail and email with me (portable thunderbird and firefox). the problem now is that i do not know how i get my data from the usb to the local drive. can somebody help me?
thanks

I have been using the latest nightly zip build of FireFox on my iPod. I have configured my profile to reside in my iPod using the FF profile manager so that I can carry my extensions along. I haven't found a way to change the profiles.ini path from the default %AppPath% folder, but the first time I use FF from my iPod, I configure it to use the profile present in my iPod. That way my settings and bookmarks are available whereever I use the nightly FF build.

How does Portable Firefox differ from the method I use?

Hello,

at first..., sorry for my terrible english :-D.
I use FF for and now I've bought an USB-Stick for myself.
I like FF and I use it on my computer with the german language.
Now I get PFF :-), it's a fine program and I have no problem to use it with
the english language, but I'm to lazy.
I want to know, how I can change the language of this really good program?

PS: I'm also using Thunderbird as well

After my horrible corruption incident, I had to basically start over. I had a backup I made with FEBE, so I have my extensions and bookmarks, but for some reason Fx won't save my login info any more. It prompts for the master password when I go to a site that has a login, but doesn't store the login info. It has only asked if I want it to remember passwords twice and it saved those, but hasn't actually put them in the boxes when I go to the site. There is one exception, though: FireFTP. It saved that info, and I do not need to enter it when I use FireFTP.

After i copy my hard drive version of my signins file portablefirefox won't recognize it at all and doesn't list any of my passwords.
anyone else have this problem?

I've been using the ini, and ever since I have, files that should be put in PortableApps\PortableFirefox\
Data\userprofile\ are put in same directory as the launcher, even though the userprofile path is correctly defined in the ini.

I don't have that problem with the non-portable Firefox. And I don't remember it happening when I first got Portable. Maybe it was a different version then. But now...sheesh.

I'll start to type a password and after three letters nothing shows up. I wait about 5-10 seconds and I can type again. Or I pull down a menu and wait...until it lets up and drops the menu. I can't even click anything during the hangs. The buttons won't highlight as the mouse goes over.

It started out being just an occasional hang but now it's really frequent. And annoying. I was trying to get out of the office one day. I just wanted to see if my post to a group had posted before I left. All I had to do was refresh the page, scroll down, and then scroll back up to log out. It hung after each little step. I refreshed. Then I had to wait to scroll. Then I had to wait to scroll back up. I had to wait before I could hit the link to sign off. Then I had to wait to hit the X to close the program.

Whenever I download something, Fx slows down quite a bit. I mean the program speed, not connection speed. Any ideas why this is?

For some reason, some files on my USB drive became corrupted. I ran chkdsk, and that recovered most of the files, but some were deleted! The really bad thing about it is that the prefs.js file for Fx is gone, and while I was able to get most of my preferences set, some will not stay.
I can't customize my toolbar. I can change things, but I'm back to default when I open Fx again. I made sure that prefs.js and user.js were writable. It's quite odd because my status bar icons were out of order, and I was able to rearrange them and keep the settings, and I was also to change the theme, which also stays.

Hi everyboby, I open this topic with the intention of create a list of not portable extensions.

A "not portable extension" is usually one that uses absolute paths in his settings.

Some not portable extension are:
