Firefox Portable

I have a problem with regular win32 Firefox where Firefox automatically downloads to the temporary directory in the background before I can choose a location to save to. The details of this are in my post in the mozillaZine forum for Firefox Support.

I have problems with address field and open location (Ctrl + L) function in
version 1.5.0.2 (but not in version 1.0.7). Both functions do not react. Of course I can write a new address but then nothing happen a new site is not opening.
I am grateful for explanations or comments!

I have been snooping around the forum, but had no success in finding anyone with the same problem as me.
I seem to have multiple problems with mine as listed:
- I have a large gap which I can't get rid off underneath the status bar.
- I cannot open a new file or location.
- If I customize my toorbar settings, the main toorbar becomes disabled.
- I must view the "Manage Bookmarks" Window to actually see my bookmarks on the menu.

I found these bugs on mine within 5 min and I believe there may be more.
I reinstalled it with no sucess and I honestly believe my case is unique. I would like someone to help solve this matter as soon as possible.

I have successfully downloaded portable firefox and sent it to my USB memory stick.I would also like to incorporate my bookmarks,settings etc.but have not succeeded.I initially tried to follow the recommendation in the FAQ but it didnt work for me.I then tried using MozBackup.Again no luck.Would someone please help me out?
I am not familiar with a lot of the jargon so the instructions need to be very simple

I want to install Portable Firefox on my account at school. I am not allowed to install programs or unzip folders. Aside from using a CD or USB device, how can I put the firefox files on my account? Are there any stand alone programs that will unzip a folder?

I'm using portable Firefox and am pretty happy with it.
Its privacy/security settings might not be perfect, but achieve the goal of leaving less information on all the PCs I'd be using.
With that taken care of, can there be solution for privacy on the server side?

For example, it's no secret sites in general, especially the ones requiring the logon collect vast amounts of information, with times and IPs of logins included.
Now, I would want to have control over which IP is shown, for example the same one (possibly bogus) all the time.

Is that something achievable at all? Already exi

Well, the 1.5.0.2 update runs fine for me. It does, however, break my ability to use Flash, or to reinstall flash, althought this may be an issue with macromedias site and not PFF. (says server not found.)

I use flash alot. My school uses it ALOT for instructional materials. (Flash papers).
And our school online learning center has flash elements that i can no longer use, not to mention Student Services.

I tried a fresh PFF installfrom sourceforge, did NOT install my extensions, in case one of them was the culprit, and updated to 1.5.0.2. Again, it broke. I luckily had a fresh backup. ( Monday night is my backup night, PHEW!!!).

**First of all, i am aware that this topic has been posted before, i just want to know if anyone can give me a personalized solution....please..

Hello! I am truly impressed of your webpage. It actually made me buy a USB pendrive! I'm currently using a lot of portable apps like:

* megairc
* eMule
* Portable Wackget
* Portable Gaim
* Portble Firefox
* HFS
* ...and 18 other apps+Damn Small Linux

Of these apps, my firefox launches the slowest (about 3 minutes). I think it may be because of my extensions which are:

* SearchPlugins Hack
* TabMix Plus

I installed 1.5.0.2 to my jumpdrive. I now can't connect to the internet. I can using IE but not PFF. I disabled all my extension and still was not able to connect to the internet. I have Yahoo IM running OK and ICQ so I know its not and ISP issue. I'm using cable and my connection settings are set at "Direct connection to the internet". What else could there be to keep the connection closed. I turned off the firewall to and still was unable to connet.

As I recall PFF updated just fine from 1.5 to 1.5.0.1 ...

Are other people having a problem updating to 1.5.0.2? If so, is there a fix?
