Firefox Portable

Could someone please help me. I have been able to download 'winzip' and 'winrar' files whilst in work for the last 6 months, now all of a sudden the IT dept have noticed and stopped any files larger than 10mb from being downloaded. A friend of mine advised that if I were to run Firefox portable on my usb drive that this should bypass the 10mb firewall rule, I have tried doing this and everything goes fine until I try connecting to the internet when running Firefox of my USB key, it keeps timing out, are there any other solutions I could use. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Whenever I do a download I get the download wind to pop up and an indicator in the tray below indicating the download was successful. However the download window is always empty. Shouldn't I be seeing a list of the files that I have downloaded?

Dear all,

Could get flash plugin to work, however:

I have changed the FirefoxExecutable to point to FF.exe

I have changed the name of the filename itself to FF.exe, as instructed in the readme.

Now the flash plugin does not work anymore.

Thanks folks! Need this quite fast.

Hi guys !
I'm new in Firefox portable. How can I install IEtab on my Firefox 3 (USB pen) ?
Thank you in advance !

Is there some sort of addon that will give me the option to edit a webpage opened in FFP in FrontPage - just like you can use the Edit with FrontPage from IE?

Whenever I use Firefox portable it takes forever to load and then always crashes.

This happens no matter which computer I run it on, no matter how many times I download a newer version and even when I changed the driver it runs from.

Has this happened to anyone else? can anyone tell me where and whats the problem?

Hey

after updating to 3.01 from a 2.xx some addons are disabled and their items are completely grayed out in the add-ons menu.

How can I install these and be rid of them? the uninstall buttons are grayed out along with everything else.

thanks

Have FFP 3.1 installed and clicked to launch, the add-on updater asked me if I wanted to install updates for tor, better gmail and no-script (and maybe download -helper) they seemed to update ok but then FF wouldnt launch, just a message with something along the lines of "there has been a crash, would you like to quit or retry, and would you like to report this?"

the report fails and a retry fails only thing that works is quiting. Am using an old 2.15 install currently.

the report contents are:

BuildID: 2008070208
CrashTime: 1218807603
InstallTime: 1218807603
ProductName: Firefox

I started to use Portable Firefox and Thundbird under the assumption that they do not leave ane traces on the host I use. In contratry to this assumption Firefox definitely writes filesonto the hard disk of the computer of the network of my employer and leaves them even after removig the USB-stick. Can I do anything against this? These files grow so big sometimes that I am prompted to wipe them off before logging out from my account under XP.
