Firefox Portable

In the portable firefox directory there is a portable firefox executible to start firefox. Also in there, I find a firefox directory and inside that folder is a firefoxe.exe executible. If I use the portable firefox executible to start fire fox and then later click on a internet link, the internet link uses the firefox executible instead of the portable firefox. Seems confusing having 2 different ways of starting the same program and then you have to duplicate the themes and extensions. I guess I am confused. Is there a solution to using just 1 of the executibles so I only have 1 set of t

I have installed portable firefox on my usb chip and it was very slow starting. So I moved the program to the c drive. Still the first time I run a browser command it takes a minute to 2 minutes for firefox to start. My usb is a 1.1. I have windows xp pro installed with webroot spyware sweeper and bitdefender anti virus. Is there any way to speed this up? I did install fasterfox too, which did nothing for this first time starting problem. Sure would appreciate any input on this. Thanks In Advance

Hello, this is my first post i have just bought a cruzier and am currently usinf portable firefox on it

my question is can i sync my prefernce, bookmarks, extensions etc with firefox on my main home computer by using sync toy or some other software?

Whenever I go to tools > read mail, it always opens outlook. I want it to open thunderbird, but there doesn't seem to be an option to change e-mail client in the tools > options... area. What should I do?

This week I got a new SanDisk Cruzer Micro 2GB b/c it was on sale for only $69. However, FF runs EXTREMELY SLOW.... I mean it takes 2+ minutes just to open; it takes 10+ seconds to switch to an already open tab; it takes 15+ seconds to open a new tab; and FORGET about clicking in one window and switching to another while the first link comes up!!!!

I've got an open support ticket with SanDisk--they had me reformat it, then download some Micro$oft app that verifies the authenticity of the USB device, and I've been left hanging since yesterday morning.

Is there ANYTHING that could be Firefox related here? I don't see how, b/c I copied everything off my USB drive, a Lexar 512MB. It runs EXTREMELY fast--especially compared to this one.

I transport a portable hard-drive between my office and home. I was using Firefox on my computers at work and home even before I knew about Portable Firefox. Now that I've installed Portable Firefox on my portable hard-drive, I'd like to copy the many bookmarks I have accumulated in Firefox so that I have access to them from the portable hard-drive. For those times I leave the portable drive behind, I also want to have access to my bookmarks from either desktop computer. Is there a simple method for copying booksmarks from Firefox to Portable Firefox and vice versa?

I have asked my tech support if i could use portable firefox from a thumb drive, as i dont like IE. i got the following reply:

All the software on the University desktop has been installed, tested, and licensed to run on the University network. The browsers that are installed on the desktop have been configured and regularly updated for security issues. The security implications of portable Firefox have not been investigated by our development team at University i.e. is it the latest secure version?, does it affect the University desktop?, does it write to the hard disk/network?, does the software have malware? We generally do not like software that is not part of the University desktop PC’s to be run on University lab machines because of these unanswered questions and the possible problems they may cause to users and the network.

Hi all,

Is there a way to change the behavior behavior for this ?
For example,permanently keep URLs history,form data & cookies ?

I tried looking in the various javascript config file,but this seem not to be there(or I missed it ?)

Hey

What would you guys think of the possibility to change the splashscreen?
So you can't only change the theme or the language of your favorite browser,
but also the splashscreen. And maybe there could come a section with the best
splashscreens, maybe a competition.

sorry for my bad English.

This is more of a suggestion to the developer of Portable Firefox, who I hope reads these forums. I don't know if this has been mentioned before but please disable Firefox update by default in future releases. Or at least change the settings so that it won't automatically download and try to install updates. I launched Portable Firefox only to have it try to patch itself to 1.5.0.1 Of course the patch failed so it instead tried to download the entire 6.0 MB installer. I've disabled it myself as of now.
