Firefox Portable

Trying to run Firefox Portable 2.0.0.14 from my USB drive. Splash screen displays then goes away - no Firefox!

Can't seem to find any error logs to help figure out why it's not running.

Running Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2.

Any help would be appreciated!

Installed to hard drive and then copied folder to USB drive and it worked. Not sure why, not sure I care.

I am getting a band in the bottom of my screen containing red text occassionally. Anyone know hy it is there? Can I change the view or what?

Hallo, well I just wonder...
Can Firefox Portable 2.0.0.14 & 3.0.0.5 speak Danish ???

Hi, there!
Though I haven't posted here before, I've been using (and recommending) the portable-apps for the last year or even a bit longer.
Thanks for the great work!

I am also testing the Beta 5 of Firefox 3 and I found a little bug with the "FlashGot" extension that appeared when FlashGot was updated a few weeks back.
Since then each time you open Firefox in the directory above Firefox Portable a new subdirectory is created (for example in the root of the USB-drive).

The new directory actually is a part of the windows-user-profile reading:

Hello!

All of my default built-in search engines in Firefox are lost-disappeared. I dont't know, why. I don't delete them!
My problem: if I would like add a new search engines, I see only this error screen:
http://kepfeltoltes.hu/080421/xml_error_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg

What is this problem? How can I solve it?

Thanks!

I am in Patagonia trying to run fFox 2 port in iCafes from a usb2 drive. Every time I boot it up it is as if it reverts back to the first time. I have to reset the google tool bar. My home page has changed, auto update is on (all options setting go back to default), my bookmarks are lost and my about:config settings are gone. What causes this? What good is a portable app if it must be completely reconfigured every time you use it? I have tried both 1.5 and v2 & all is the same.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Hi All
Was halfway thru posting a new topic about errors I got trying to visit geeks.com, when I remembered to try a new thing I found a few weeks ago.
It worked, showing me the site was down, so I thought I'd share it..

down for everyone or just me checks the site themselves and lets you know the result. Handy.

Hi,

I have the latest FF on my Desk and want a copy of it with its info on my laptop as I am going away.

I already have the latest FF on the laptop but don't want to change it if I can help it.

Can I run both of them on the laptop and how can I install FFP using my current cookies, passwords, blah blah. Is it better to install on the Desk or on the laptop?

Thanks

This has probably been around for a while. According to the launcher source, these three INI params are required -

"${APPNAME}Directory"
"ProfileDirectory"
"SettingsDirectory"

So try using this INI -

[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
# PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
# FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
# AdditionalParameters=
# LocalHomepage=
DisableSplashScreen=true
# AllowMultipleInstances=false
# DisableIntelligentStart=false
# SkipChromeFix=false
# SkipCompregFix=false

I'm having a major problem with my Portable firefox, this has only started to happen recently and i am unsure of the exact nature of the problem

Any advice / ideas?

please note, i have not changed any files in the Firefox portable directory, and this error only seems to occur on the college computer system.
