Firefox Portable

Sorry if this has been asked already; I couldn't find it in the first few pages of this forum.

I would like to have multiple profiles, a clean one w/o any extensions for when I'm using the USB 1.1 computers in my school library, and the full one with all my extensions for everywhere else. I am thinking of having two PortableFirefox.ini files (obviously named differently) and specifying one based on what computer I am using.

Is there a way of specifying an .ini file for PortableFireFox.exe to use, using the command line? Could you perhaps drag-and-drop the .ini file onto the executable?

I customized my Portable Firefox, and it works very well with only one exception. I keep seeing "DOM Inspector" feature in "Tools" Menu. I do not want it, but I don't know how to get rid of it. Most the work I did were in browser.xul, and I did not see any reference to it in this file. When I deleted "inspector.jar" from my finished output (firefox\chrome\) folder, my application broke.

Any ideas?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is any way to disable Portable Firefox from checking to see if regular Firefox is running so that both may be run at the same time?

Thanks,

I read that John says that for some cards that ture. I was looking at getting a new usb (nothing slower than a 20X speed), but if flash is better, should i get fast flash SD card and reader instead?

I was looking at getting the Transcend JetFlash 110 2GB Flash Drive, which Tomshardward has recomended, and speed test suggest this too. But i've done a bit of searching and found that a 2gb SD + Reader is acutally chapaper. I'm no worried about price, rather performance and portability.

Whats everyones thoughts?

John,

I know that TMP Session saver and extensions like that slow down PFF and PTB.

Do you or anybody else have a list that are not to say incompatible, but just not as USB/Flash friendly?

Can you suggest a way to improve mouse performance in pff? I'm operating pff from a portable USB 2.0 hard drive (seagate 6G pocket drive). The mouse is jerky while web pages actively load but smooths out when completely loaded. I've also noticed occasional lags while typing. Otherwise, pff is working brilliantly. I'm assuming this a data transfer issue. Is this to be expected or can improvements be made? kjp

I need PFF 1.5.0.2 with old directory structure. I made the stupid mistake of auto-updating Fx with extensions pending (downloaded but installed with a restart)
I copied my profile and userprofile folders to the new 1.5.0.3, but only a few extensions show, and they will not install.
I can then copy my profile stuff to the old dir structure and autoupdate to 1.5.0.3.

Hi Folks!

First post so be gentle!!!

I'm attempting to embed PFF into a WinPE build. I've downloaded the 1.5.0.3 release and extracted it into my WinPE image.

I boot my WinPE system, xcopy the extracted folders into a ram disk and run portablefirefox.exe from there. I do this 'cos I assume some folders need to be writable.

However, nothing happens - no firefox splash page, zilch.

Is there anything I need to add to the PFF install (e.g. DLL's etc.) to get this to work ?

Thanks in advance

Please consider making upgrade help text a little more clearer about exactly where to place profile settings if the folder location is changing. I took me about 20 minutes to figure out why my upgrade didn't take and where to put all of the necessary files after about 3 re-reads of the instructions to see the new folder scheme.

Thanks! 8)

Today I put the last version of portable Firefox in my usb key. Everything went ok (including the install of extensions and language packs) except one thing: every attempt to import (from file) my bookmarks ended by blocking the app, so I need to kill the process. This problem did not exist in 1.5.0.1
Any idea? Thanks.
