Firefox Portable

Is Portable Firefox 2.0a actually in development, or are you waiting for the final release?

Is it able to allow PFox to create the history od visited pages?
(mayba I just can't find right topic)
I think that this history is very very usefull for everyone and it will not create a large file(s) on drive.
I think it is OK not to save cache files, but saving history can be usefull (I think that not only for me).

Hello, the topic explains it all. Can this be done? Can I instruct my Desktop FF to read the bookmarks from my USB drive and if the USB drive is not plugged-in, to read its own bookmarks on the hard drive?

Help!!

I installed the updates to firefox 1.5.0.1 when I received and upgrade notice. Now I don't have accessed to my extensions or themes. I can see them when I click on Tools->Extensions/Themes but they are ghosted out with a message that says I need to restart firefox. I've restarted FF several time but I still can't get the extensions or themes to become active.

What is the trick to fix this???

Thanks

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.

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".

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:

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
