Firefox Portable

Hi,
I am using the latest Firefox Portable. I open FirefoxPortable.exe and then it loads firefox.exe, which works fine. But I notice (in Process Explorer) that FirefoxPortable.exe closes after opening firefox.exe. Furthermore, when I close the Firefox Browser, firefox.exe still runs (as seen in Process Explorer) until I have to kill it.

I am on Windows XP and do have a standard version of Firefox as my default browser. I am not sure if this is causing the problem. Please help.

I need FF2 with a fairly clean profile for my work as a developer, but I use FF3 (non-portable) for normal stuff (like mainly gmail). I've been unable to get FF2 portable to start when FF3 is still running. It beeps at me and says "Another instance of Firefox is already running...".

Is there a way to disable this check so that I can keep FF2 loaded to do work and still run FF3 with all my plugins? It seems like since FF2 is "portable" that this check is pretty useless.

Thx in advance.

Hi All,

I recently tried to add VLC plugin to my portable FF (added libvlc.dll & npvlc.dll to plugins dir) to try and add DivX support.

the plugin seems to be properly installed, its showing in about: plugins and some file types have been automatically assigned to it in the file management options. But in neither of these locations does it mention DivX files types.

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone knows how to do this?

I use FF Portable at work and on other computers and the full version of FF on my laptop at home.

Is there any way of synchonising cookies and passwords between them? I know that there is an addon (Foxybookmarks) for doing this for bookmarks.

Cheers,

James

Generally, during use firefox tries to write to the host machine's $TEMP folder. I would like to disable this, to avoid any risk of an undelete spying. Most data that ends in $TEMP is temporal files, whose contents I don't know. But I don't want anyone to see I watch videogame speedrun videos (some people using those computers would not like that, think of Jack Thompson-y mentality, and also general privacy).

Hello,

The PortableApps FF2 allowed you to rename firefox.exe and then edit an ini file to specify its new name.

This was the only way I could get FF to run at work; without renaming the executable, the network antivirus program would delete firefox.exe from my memory stick when I tired to launch it.

I can't figure out how to rename the executable for FF3RC1 and still have FireFoxPortable.exe run it.

Thanks for your help.

I want to install a new one Firefox Portable to my other UFD, and then i just want to copy my password saved in my old firefox portable not other addons. How can i do?? Please help me..

Seeing as this is one of the bigger portable apps (as in most downloaded), and it's portable, wouldn't it be a nifty feature to have 'Profiles'...

, like proxy settings and stuff? I go from my school to my IT center, and I always have to change the proxy settings. That'd be a really nice feature to have.
(I don't know where to put this.)

I noticed a few things that PA forgot to change with the new firefox.

-Saves to the desktop by default
-Checks for updates to firefox (Both versions)
-I cant run the new beta and the old version at the same time, even though at home, I usually can run multiple firfox's at once.

Howdy all,

I just installed portable apps and wanted to find the best way to import all of my bookmarks, add-ons and stored passwords. I want my local machine's settings copied to the portable apps drive if this is possible. Thanks in advance.
