Firefox Portable

Im not sure if their is something I'm missing but I cannot seem to disable the splash screen for the Portable Apps. I have a series of applications of my Portable Drive but not of of them are from PortableApps and as such I would like to have consitency in not having splash screens. This is a copy of my config. I have DisableSplashScreen set to true but it seems to have no effect.

[PortableFirefox]
FirefoxDirectory=firefox
ProfileDirectory=profile
PluginsDirectory=plugins
UserProfileDirectory=userprofile
AdditionalParameters=true
AllowMultipleInstances=false
SkipChromeFix=false
SkipCompregFix=false

In my main FF window I have turned off the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If I go to a link and open it in a New Window the Bookmarks Toolbar is always there (taking up space).
How can I turn it off for all windows?

Hi, ...

I will test today, Firefox 2.0 Alpha 1, on a "USB ThumbStickDrive".

= Did someone test the V2.0 Alpha 1 ???

Also, why there are delay, for the final Portable Firefox, V1.5.0.1, to be released ???

Thanks in advance, ...

I have had firefox on my 128mb lexar jumpdrive 2.0 for a couple months now. It is a great program and i was not having any problems with it. Now just 2days ago, it started taking 5-10minutes to launch and when it did it was just the basic browser, all of my extensions and themes gone. SO i copied and pasted the file to my c:\ drive and it launches fine, all extensions intact. What's wrong?:(

heres what it does when i open PortableFirefox.exe
firefox.exe was not found. Please check your configuration

i have tested this on two w98se computers, a desktop & a laptop (both have usb 1.1 so they load slower but thats not the prob) i can launch firefox using a .bat from them fine (just slow cuz of usb 1.1)
i've testing it on xp home sp2 & it works fine, the drive is a Sandisk Cruzer Micro 512mb (i tihnk its U3 compatible) & heres my config file & directory structure:
[PortableFirefox]
FirefoxDirectory=FF
ProfileDirectory=FF\profile

In the portable firefox directory there is a portable firefox executible to start firefox. Also in there, I find a firefox directory and inside that folder is a firefoxe.exe executible. If I use the portable firefox executible to start fire fox and then later click on a internet link, the internet link uses the firefox executible instead of the portable firefox. Seems confusing having 2 different ways of starting the same program and then you have to duplicate the themes and extensions. I guess I am confused. Is there a solution to using just 1 of the executibles so I only have 1 set of t

I have installed portable firefox on my usb chip and it was very slow starting. So I moved the program to the c drive. Still the first time I run a browser command it takes a minute to 2 minutes for firefox to start. My usb is a 1.1. I have windows xp pro installed with webroot spyware sweeper and bitdefender anti virus. Is there any way to speed this up? I did install fasterfox too, which did nothing for this first time starting problem. Sure would appreciate any input on this. Thanks In Advance

Hello, this is my first post i have just bought a cruzier and am currently usinf portable firefox on it

my question is can i sync my prefernce, bookmarks, extensions etc with firefox on my main home computer by using sync toy or some other software?

Whenever I go to tools > read mail, it always opens outlook. I want it to open thunderbird, but there doesn't seem to be an option to change e-mail client in the tools > options... area. What should I do?

This week I got a new SanDisk Cruzer Micro 2GB b/c it was on sale for only $69. However, FF runs EXTREMELY SLOW.... I mean it takes 2+ minutes just to open; it takes 10+ seconds to switch to an already open tab; it takes 15+ seconds to open a new tab; and FORGET about clicking in one window and switching to another while the first link comes up!!!!

I've got an open support ticket with SanDisk--they had me reformat it, then download some Micro$oft app that verifies the authenticity of the USB device, and I've been left hanging since yesterday morning.

Is there ANYTHING that could be Firefox related here? I don't see how, b/c I copied everything off my USB drive, a Lexar 512MB. It runs EXTREMELY fast--especially compared to this one.
