Firefox Portable

Hi,

is there a possibility to add some support to run portable firefox in several instances. Right now, the portable firefox searches for running instances and if there is one, it only opens a new window of the running application.

But, if the firefox crashes (and it does from time to time, do not argue :)), all the windows are gone, all the work. I used to open several instances of iexplorer to prevent such damage. One instance for work, one for occasional fun, etc.

So, is there a possibility to open multiple independent processes of the firefox with the same settings? I do not care about the history, cache, cookies. But I do care about the extensions and bookmarks.

Hello,

I just found a Trojan in my PortableFirefox.exe. My Scanner (Antivir) told me that it found a trojan called: TR/Dldr.Zlob.VV.2. When I tried to download a fresh one from different mirrors, it always found the trojan in the "fresh" archive again. So I am not sure if the PortableFirefox.exe is reinfacted everytime again or there is a trojan on the mirrors???

N.M.

So, I had some problems because the default setting on firefox was set to automatically have it attempt to upgrade itself. After clicking no again and again (yeah, I know I should've turned off the setting but my net time was limited, and I had to get to work) I accidentally clicked yes which caused firefox to attempt to upgrade itself prior to every startup..

Well, that got old real quick, so I decided to attempt to follow the upgrade instructions on the site. Seemed like everything worked out OK, but when I booted into firefox (I presume there was a problem with one of the extensions I was using) it gave me a big error window which I couldn't get past..

I've read in the readme.txt and all that how to allow the computers Firefox and the Portable Firefox side by side, but despite setting the value to true, it always says there's another instance running.

Any idea why this isn't working?

Most other apps have been 'upxed', but firefox.exe not.
Using upx -9 PortableFirefox\App\firefox.exe saves 4mb with no performance issue as I see it).
Tried it too with thunderbird.exe but somehow it doesn't work ok.

I just got the update of firefox off the portableapps.com site and when I tried to open firefox after updating, I got the error nss3.dll is not a vallid windows image.

In PFF, there is a folder called \Data\profile\bookmarkbackups.
PFF writes bookmark backups in it. How can I　turn off this function?

While Firefox is loaded, every so often it will write to the USB drive for a few seconds, this happens if I'm actively using firefox or its an inactive window. While it is writing to the drive, firefox is completed unresponsive and unsuable. Cache is disabled, there are no extensions or plugins installed.

Any ideas?

cheers,
Ciaron.

Q1: If the cache is set to 0, or is disabled, where does the content go?
Q2: Why have a low cache setting if it means constant rewrites to stay under quota?
Q3: Is there constant rewriting with a cache that is disabled or set to 0?

Hi there.
For some reason PFF lost the right side vertical scroll bar.
Sites can be scrolled with mouse wheel.

I've checked out settings, but everything seems to be ok...at least afaik
