Firefox Portable

why does ff portable store files there?
C:\Users\damasko\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\zinh12ik.default
it stores crash reports and also some kind of profile data.

i'm using it with win7 and ff portable folder is on E drive

why are WE required to make a backup of our profile every time that we go to upgrade to a more recent version...WHY CANT YOU CODE THE INSTALLER TO DO SO??!!!! as im a fan and i use mine at school, and i just now, after trying to install an update...found out i NOW HAVE TO REINSTALL MY 70+ EXTENSSIONS BECAUSE THE INSTALLER DOESNT DO IT ITSELF...AND I HAVE PRECIOUS LITTLE TO NO TIME TO DO SO!...

so please, PLEASE take my rant to heart and code the installer to check to see if a profile exists and if it does, code the installer to COPY IT OVER!

I have installed FF 3.6.3 on my 16GB USB drive. Within the last week, I have noticed random errors that have caused FF to crash. There is no common thread uniting these errors, with the exception that using Firefox will rapidly cause the free space on my USB drive to decrease until the drive is reported as full. When I start a session in Firefox, both Windows and the PortableApps menu report that I have 11.1 GB of free space. Within a couple hours' usage, my free space decreases to zero.

Pretty sure I eliminated the extensions as being a factor, but removing the prefs.js file fixes the problem of the everything in the browser disappearing and leaving only the viewing window and the tabs.

Unfortunately my client did a lot of custom stuff (without making a copy of the profile folder recently) that is recorded in that file, so my question is:

I am compiling script FirefoxPortable.nsi with parametrs:

StrCpy $EXECSTRING `"$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\$PROGRAMEXECUTABLE"  -app application.ini -override "%APPDATA%\WebApps\quake.live@prism.app\override.ini" -webapp quake.live@prism.app -profile "$PROFILEDIRECTORY"`
Goto CheckMultipleInstances

LaunchProgramParameters:
StrCpy $EXECSTRING `"$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\$PROGRAMEXECUTABLE"  -app application.ini -override "%APPDATA%\WebApps\quake.live@prism.app\override.ini" -webapp quake.live@prism.app -profile "$PROFILEDIRECTORY" $0`

But i dont know how to write a workdir
my workdir is

I am trying to make portable firefox open pdf files with pdfXchange viewer. I have tried to follow the instructions on the site, added pdfXchange as an app for pdfs, and it worked. Then to test it, I moved the whole directory structure to another directory (relative path between firefox and pdfXchange remained the same) and it stopped working. Is there any way to make it work with relative paths?

Firefox is not recording history at all. Went to tools-options-privacy-history and it is set to remember all history. I have already re-installed firefox portable app over the top of existing and still no history. Any ideas? v3.6.3/Vista.

FirefoxPortable2ndProfile.exe doesn't come with its own INI file.

It should be like FirefoxPortable.ini, or at least support basic things like DisableSplashScreen...

Thanks!

I've received notification that my re-zipping of the Gears for Win32 binaries has been moved from Experimental to Public status. Read on for more details on how it works, or if you're in a hurry you can get it here:

Notes:

I am currently testing applications before transferring them to my flash drive. Even after the initial "install" load, Firefox Portable takes several minutes to load.

The test directory housing all the files I intend to transfer to my flash drive is on my Desktop. I am running Vista, with privileges. My installed version of FF loads lightning-fast, even with addons and history and such. I did all the performance improving tips listed on the FFP page, which sped it up from about 5 minutes to 2-3 minutes to load. Once FFP loads, it runs fine.

What am I missing?
