Firefox Portable

I just installed a Firefox Portable 25 installed on a hard drive partition as a 3rd Firefox profile, and want to transfer my Profile and settings from the Firefox Portable 25 installed on a usb drive.

Since I have 3 profiles on my main portable Apps install its a little more comlicated, so I was wondering can I just copy and paste the one I want to copy? Or should I use a program like Mozbackup?

And if so what folder do i manually choose from Mozbackup? Just this folder?

X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile

I was happily using CL Pics add-on in my FFP 3.6 until I decided to install Thumbnail Zoom Plus. Not only it did not work, it killed CL Pics Multiple reinstalls of several versions of CL Pics and deleted TZP did not help. Neither did system restore and Flash plug-in update. I disabled some other add-ons that were all cooperating previously - no luck. I tried a saved version of FFP on another drive - nothing. It seems that TZP changed something in Win. XP or on the laptop. CL's own pics open in Thumbnail and Gallery view, but not in List view. Please, help - thanks

Hi,

I had Firefox Portable with the Beta Update channel running. It was the Original portable apps FF Beta package. I had no problems using the FF update process including the now up to date version 26.

Now I have switched the update channel to Aurora (to test the new shumway flash alternative). But the update from FF 26 to 27 is not working.
I get a window saying 27 is available (or press check update button), the downloads starts an completes and then a "applying update" and "update failed" Message.

I have a FFP 3.6.16 and don't want to upgrade due to previous upgrade issues and old laptop with XP. Gmail stopped supporting this version , no longer opens and I don't want to open mail in other browsers. Anybody knows a work-around for this? If not possible, can I download a new version on the same SD card and use it only to open gmail on the same laptop or it's better to download to another card? I get my mail in TBP and need to open gmail only to make g-voice calls. Any TB or FF add-ons to make those calls without opening gmail? It would eliminate the problem, thanks

I updated to Firefox 25 Portable, and I had a huge problem of performance, comparing Firefox 24 Portable and Firefox 25 installed (normal installation).

Firefox 25 Portable take loading pages so long, and It fails where Firefox 24 Portable doesn't.

It could be any problem doing portable app package, that it could be impacted in app performace?

I am contemplating on switching to Linux on my home system. (My work system is Windows 7.) I'm trying to plan on what adjustments I will have to make by doing so.

I have Firefox portable on a thumb drive that I use between work and home. Are the Firefox profile files (not program) and structure interchangeable between the two versions of Firefox, Windows and Linux?

So I can copy the profile from the thumb drive (Win) to the Firefox profile directory in Linux and Linux to thumb drive?

Thanks.

I have a requirement to use FireFox Portable 10.0.3 and Java Portable (version 6 Update 45) for a web app that has these stringent version requirements. On Windows XP (SP3), when a local installation of Java is present, Java in the FireFox portable 10.0.3 and Java Portable 6 Update 45 package does not work. It launches java (I see java.exe in the process table), but it just hangs and does nothing. On Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Window 8 it works fine - just not on Windows XP.

I've loaded new FF24-portable installer from portableapps.com.
And now the the process "FirefoxPortable.exe" stays in process list together with "firefox.exe".
I believe the FirefoxPortable.exe is just a launcher and should not always stay in memory.
Is this behaviour normal for new (relative new) FF-portable compilations?

PS
My old FF-portable edition did not cause this process to stay always in memory.
May be I have to use the old launcher instead? (just update FF to up to date)

Hi there,

I'm looking forward to it. Is the release date yet planned?
TIA,
Chris

I'm trying to use Firefox on a public computer at a Workforce center. Neither Firefox nor the Proxy Get utility will identify the proxy settings. I also do not have access to the Internet Options or Network settings in IE.
Everytime I try to visit a site, I'm asked for a Username/Pass.

However, Chrome Portable does work, and seems to auto-detect the proxy settings without any input from me. But, Chrome also respects the security settings of IE, and will also not allow me to view the details of the proxy settings under Options.
