Firefox Portable

I ditched the 'for U3' version of PFF (and PTB) in favor of 'plain old' PFF and PTB...and I'm happy with the results.

Is there a way to make these apps appear on the U3 launchpad? For example, would adding this line to the XML file do the trick?

[illegal symbol]APPLICATION guid="FirefoxPortable" launchOnStart="N" lastUsed="2/27/2006 11:01:21">\Firefox_Portable_1.5.0.6_en-us.exe[illegal symbol]/APPLICATION

(Where "illegal symbol" refers to the sideways "v" that is not allowed in these forums.)

Thanks for your help.

I signed up for Shutterfly's photo service - I have friends that rave about the service, and it all seems good so far. The problem is that Shutterfly's plug-in for mass uploading of pictures crashes my Firefox Portable. They specifically work with Firefox and have had no similar problems there.

My question:

With all the users of Firefox Portable, is anyone else successfully using Shutterfly? [ie: is it a problem specific to my computer?]

Is there a way I get someone else to try Shutterfly and see if they can duplicate this error?

If it is a real problem and not just me, does anyone have advice I can pass on to Shutterly's tech people so they can modify their plug in to also work with Firefox Portable?

Maybe these questions have been asked before, but not recently, at least not in the most recent 15 pages of Forum posts

I currently run your PFF for U3 and NoBrainz (sorry) TB for U3 on my Kingston U3 USB drive. Both work fine, but I would like to try the 'straight' PFF and PTB (i.e., instead of "for U3" versions.)

1. Should I uninstall PFF for U3 and xBrainz TB for U3 before installing PFF and PTB?

2. Will the fact that these are not "for U3" versions cause any problems, either for U3 or PFF/PTB?

3. Anything special I need to know about installing PFF and PTB on a U3 USB drive?

I was just wondering if anyone had any experience moving an existing Portable Firefox installation folder from one USB device to another. I tried to copy an image of one USB drive to another, larger one. All of my other portable apps are completely happy on their new home drive (as I expected they would be), but Firefox is not.

When launched from the original thumb drive, everything is still OK. But on the new drive the migrated installation is "broken", even after repeated attempts and methodologies to copy it. The program seems to launch/run just fine, which is nice. But, none of the extensions are seen and the toolbars/buttons/options aren't set up like they are on the original drive.

Background: I use the master password option to secure my portable firefox browser.

Previous to 1.5.0.5, I would launch the browser, the splash screen would appear, and then I would be prompted to enter my password before I could continue launching the browser, or use it at all.

Now with 1.5.0.5, I can launch the browser, and use it no problem *until* I come to a site where it tries to autofill my info. Then it prompts me with the dialog to enter my master password.

I personally like the previous behavior, because if I misplace my usb drive, I don't want someone to be able to look at my bookmarks or poke around in my extension to find usernames and/or email addresses.

I upgraded to FireFox Portable. Can I now delete PortableFireFox folder since there is now one called FirefoxPortable?

Hey guys,

I've been using Portable Firefox (PFF v 1.5.0.4) for a few months without a Local FF installed. Now, as we all know, Google launched its Google_Browser_Sync.xpi (GBSx) a few weeks ago. I wanted to experiment with it and decided to install a LOCAL copy of FF to test if my bookmarks would synchronize my PFF v 1.5.0.4. settings with the LOCAL install of FF v 1.5.0.4.

The installation of the local FF went OK. And it gave me the default GUI (If that is what you would call it on a browser) without any extensions. Now when I tried to download the GBSx, nothing would happen. This is not my specific concern as it is a Google issue.

I use Portable Firefox Portable (we're all in transition, here, aren't we?) and the SAGE extension for my RSS reader. How can I make Sage's variable CSS reference "portable?" My CSS files are stored on my USB flash memory drive. The CSS option in Sage nails the chosen CSS file to the drive letter. Of course, the drive letter changes as the flash drive is moved from PC to PC, so the CSS reference is lost (incorrect) and SAGE reverts to its internal default "CSS." [By the way, I use PSTART as the portable launcher in case there's a variable path PSTART sets that would be useful here in solvi

I was curious-

Why do YOU use PFF? And where?
Be honest now- I'm curious.
