Firefox Portable

I've been using the Mozilla browser since it was called Phoenix. Version 5 is my first foray into its portable iteration. I use FF heavily for commerce and banking and verified all was A-OK especially with my security layering. I began to run it in Sandboxie and again all was A-OK *except* for urlclassifier3.sqlite. It does not update at all. I do notice urlclassifierkey3.txt occasionally getting written meaning that the operation is functional but the sqlite file isn't appended. I wasn't able to gain a solution at the Sandboxie forum. Any ideas? Thanks!

I`m running Portable FireFox 5.0 (Version 4.0 > update to 5.0) under windows 7.
It is not installed on a pendrive but in partition E: of harddisk.
There are a lot of traces left in System partition C:
C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\995lnza3.default\ (Files and folders)
C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox (Files and folders)

The question is: Can I avoid this?
What happens if I delete all these files and folders?

Thank you. !!

The link "Firefox source" on the page https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
points to a FileZilla repository.

This is wrong. Please fix it and give us the sources.

PS: this is a known failure since at least February 2011.
So the current state violates the license!

In an older version (out of PortableApps.com_Suite_Setup_1.5.2_en.exe) of Firefox Portable) I was used to copy from my desktop Firefox the profiles.ini, Profiles\v9must0u.default\prefs.js and Profiles\v9must0u.default\sessionstore.js

However, in the new version (installed via PortableApps.com_Platform_Setup_2.0_Pre-Release_2.1.exe) this doesn't work anymore.

Any ideas how I could proceed to have that compatibility back?

I used the same wow for Thunderbird, but haven't looked into it yet.

When I initially set up Sync, it works the first time, but them every time it automatically syncs, I get an error.

"Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."

And when I check the settings, my sync key has been changed.

I've cleared the settings and re-synced many times, but the same thing happens. Even when I keep the files on the local hard drive.

Hi all,

I am using Firefox Portable 5 and for the past couple of days external links are opening in a new window, rather than a new tab.

As far as I know I haven't changed anything.

The settings in Tools, Options, Tabs specify external link to open in new tab, as does the Tab Mix Plus extension.

I have tried Firefox in Safe Mode with all extensions disabled and also a clean profile that I have using the 2nd Profile app.

With the extensions disabled on my main profile the problem still occurs.

I have also reset all Tab Mix Plus settings to defaults.

The portable version 5.0.1 is noted for Windows. Will it work for Mac as well, if added to a flash drive?

Why FF 6 beta 2 isn´t by Internet-Firefox.

I think you have miss it https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/test

Please add it to Internet-Firefox and all is good.

People which need FF6 beta 2 search it by Internet-Firefox.

Please fix it.

Thanks der Tester

This encompasses two problems: One FF portable doesn't have multiple profile support. Two: I can't have FF portable open and FF regular. I know I can have multiple FF's open at once with regular Firefox by forcing the profile but if I'm using a friends computer and they have their own Firefox open and I want to open my Firefox on there's I have to close their FF in order to open mine.

PS. My own computer is now broken so I ported all my profile data for Firefox and Thunderbird to an SD installation thus I really need to have my Firefox on others computers now.
