Firefox Portable

I just installed the portableapps platform and then firefox portable to an external drive. Per instructions here, i then ran firefox portable once, closed it, copied/replace the contents of my existing firefox profile folder on my computer to the firefox portable profile folder, deleted the FirefoxPortableSettings.ini in the firefox portable "settings" folder, and re-opened portable firefox.

I mainly use FF Portable in the library. It's great, I can save all my bookmarks and plugins ready to be used as the library deletes everything when you log out. I noticed that it did not work too well on my vista machine at home but this is not a problem as I have Firefox on that one and don't use it that often. One of the libraries have updated from Windows XP to Windows 7. It still works but often freezes up and I can't manage to stream radio through it. I have not tried any of the other portable apps on the machines but the port app platform seems to work ok.

If I start Firefox Portable first it is not possible to start the installed version of "Desktop Firefox". Is there a solution?

Seeing as how people are experience troubles with Flash under Windows, I am almost afraid to ask... I am running FirefoxPortable 21 under Linux, and getting an error message saying my Flash plugin is out of date and is being disabled. Sure enough, no Flash is working on websites that use it. My question is how do I install the Flash plugin for Firefox under Linux. I tried downloading the Flash executable for Windows and running it under Wine, but it hung on me and was unable to complete.

So I installed Kaspersky AV, now it is wanting me to add exceptions for sites that auto-connect secure (Facebook, gmail). I did this, but facebook wont fully load (just some really basic html looking stuff) and the gmail chat won't load either.

How do I add the Kaspersky root certificate into portable firefox?

I have a Lorex NVR security camera system that I want to view remotely, however I don't have admin rights on my desktop at my office, nor do I have access to the plugin folders on the desktop. I have the download WebComponents.exe from Lorex, however have been unusuccessful in trying to install it. I installed the plugin on a home computer and brought in the files from the Firefox plugin folder and dropped them into the portable app plugin folder for Firefox, however that didn't work either.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

I have searched all over the place for how to get flash working on firefox portable. All the directions I have either haven't worked or the links to particular files are broken.

I'm on a work computer where It restricts admin access and I am at a total loss on how to get this to work. There is a lot of talk about you need to copy files to the "plugins" folder, but it isn't there in my files. I have also hear people saying copy in .dll files or .xpi files and I don't have copies of those and they aren't on my computer because they are centralized on our work network.

Whenever I have to update Flash Player, I update locally and copy files in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash to E:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins. It reports that Adobe Acrobat is out of date and vulnerable. I cant work out where the files are and what I need to change and where to put them.
Many thanks.

when I search from google it readjusts the page to show the results in a long column

running firefox portable 3.6.16

Hello,

I've got a little confused since it seems no longer necessary to overwrite the installation directory for upgrading Firefox Portable.
As a matter of fact, the "normal way" to update it (Help > About Firefox > Check for updates) effectively leads to an updated version after a relaunch of FF. Now my question : is it really equivalent, or are there any files that are replaced in the user profile or at another place (or maybe some that won't be updated at all) ?

Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards. Cervo
