Firefox Portable

I upgraded my Firefox 3.6 portable to Firefox 4.0 and then 4.01. Unfortunately my Portable start-up screen still says version 3.6 when it starts, although 4.01 does start up and run. After it runs and I check "About Firefox" under help it shows the correct version. I thought this would correct itself when I went from 4.0 to 4.01 but it did not.

While I know this may be just a silly annoyance is there a way to fix it without losing my settings, bookmarks and add-on's?

Thanks.

I recently updated to FF4 portable, and I am experiencing an error every time I restart.
On each restart lately I always get the Recover from Crash screen.
I close out my tabs and always shutdown on a blank tab.
I only use the red x to end the program, and give it enough time to shutdown before trying to eject the drive. (I check it in task manager)
This has happened on XP as well as 7 based machines.

I would like to figure out the source of my issue, is there any more information I can provide or troubleshooting steps I should attempt?

Every time I click on http://file.qip.ru/embed/111226964/dfc05946 and then hit the start button, down goes Firefox. I am using FF V3.6.16. I am not sure if I have a problem opening SWF files because this is the only one I've had this kind of a problem with. If I open this file with Chrome, it comes up fine. Would appreciate someone else trying it to see if it opens.

Cheers.....

hi, is there any way i can change this image http://www.mostlyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/mozilla-firefox-por...

when firefox starts? thanks

FF4.0, XP/SP3 (usually) But Win7 seems to be the same. Corasir Flash Voyager GT.

I set my homepage to a specific file in the root of the memory stick.

This worked for a time, and did in FF3.6.13 etc.

However FF4.0 has suddenly decided to change the js file after startup so that the file address is something like:

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "file:///EE:/MYHOME.HTM"););

if I load "file:///E:/MYHOME.HTM" and set it as the homepage and exit, the js file is saved correctly.

It seems to me there's some outdated information that could confuse people.

The first suggestion is to "try our easy to use Flash installer for Firefox Portable," but after following the link and reading all the discussion, it sounds like it was a 0.1 release two years ago that no longer works, due to changes in how Adobe handles things.

The next suggestion is "Flash is available as an extension. Just click the link." But that link is now dead.

Hi Guys,

I have tried so many times to convert Outlook contacts in my cell phone. But, I did not get the right solution yet. Please suggest me any idea to convert unlimited contacts to cell phone.

Thanks!

An example I found where portability mode does not work anymore. I make use of the "restart" addon in Firefox. Having to restart Firefox for performance reasons is something I do all the time, but then once you restart, the launcher is gone, cauzing firefox.exe to work on its own without its supervision. How would you work around that?

Hi all

why my google toolbar does not work after the upgrade to FF4?
The buttons simply disappeared.
And if I open the control panel of the toolbar, the bottom buttons "save" and "close" also dont work. i can close the panel just by clicking the top right cross...

So im using firefox portable and im loving it, however I need the google toolbar but when i use that addon it slows down FFportable A LOT. Everytime a new page or tab opens it pauses for a few seconds and then continues.

Is there an alternative to the google toobar where i can search for stuff on google without going to google itself?
The toolbar that came with firefox portable is alredy being used and I need another one (preferably on the left side like the google toolbar)

Any ideas on what else i can do or maybe some settings on google toolbar to fix it?
