Firefox Portable

I know there are a billion of the same threads out there and I have read most of them. They are almost all locked. I am very confused and have spent all day trying to change the splash by editing "FirefoxPortable.nsi" with NSIS which I'm not getting very far. I'm asking for lame step-by-step instructions that a idiot could follow. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently using Launchy (The Firefox Add-on) and it just stoped detecting Thunderbird Portable and I don't understand why. It detected everything else. :o I wrote the XML file correctly:Look on Google Docs, I couldn't get it to display properly here. It kept deleting the tags.

Every time I've installed Firefox on a system, it's always had an entry "Get Bookmark Add-ons" at the top of the bookmarks menu. FFP (at least FFP3, anyway--I don't remember about FFP2) doesn't seem to have it...

I've found that often, Firefox Portable (and Thunderbird--probably Sunbird too) stops functioning correctly if its folder is renamed.

What happens is that, after the folder is renamed, the browser won't load any pages, instead giving a blank white page regardless of what you try to navigate to. Deleting the profile folder and letting FF create a new one doesn't help, but if I rename the folder back to what it was when it was installed, it starts working again.

Oh it's portable i thought and copied it across to another machine - where it keeps crashing...

Guess not so portable (no idea what it does that).

I make stupid think. Without backup i make changes in firefox 3b4. In the extension profilepassword i changed limit for max version and install it. In task manager i see firefox start, i type password click ok and then disappear from task manager.
I need disable it. How i do it?

Hi, is there any way to use Firefox Portable for multiple users over a network share? I know there is an MSI available somewhere to do the normal install but I think it'd be easier to keep track of it over a network share. Whenever I try to run 2 instances of it on 2 seperate PCs it says that it's already running (but when I try and run one it works ok). I've tried the AllowMultipleInstances=true change to the .ini file but doesn't seem to affect anything.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Richard.

I'm setting up a laptop for my brother, I can't get Firefox 2.0.0.12 (portable) to ask me to remember the password for the paypal login, the site is not on the blacklist. Any ideas?

Ok, started using FFP after a long while to browse more easily at my local community centre and for some odd reason it is failing to recognise .htm files.

It gives me the option to save them or open with default application (Internet Explorer 7). So I tried change this to "other application... > Mozilla Firefox" then it decided to download to my C: drive and opened it in a new tab in non-complete form as it was trying to rename all the links on the page to places on the C: drive...
