Firefox Portable

For a project, we're running Firefox Portable v19.0 off a USB thumb drive with a few plugins to kiosk-ify the end user experience. All the pages the user needs are also included on the USB so we've hidden the address bar, status bar and requests for updates in about:config. The one last spot of major trouble we're having is with the main page which follows the intro splash page.

About three weeks ago, right before leaving on travel, I copied my key files (including places.sqlite) from my regular desktop computer's Firefox profile to Firefox Portable. Since then, saving bookmarks, passwords, etc. works fine, but I just now noticed that history is not being saved. If I go to All History, it lists January and months prior to that, but nothing in February (let alone things like Today, Last Week, etc.).

It makes everything by itself.
I always set the option "never check for updates", but FF doesn't want to rispect the condition.
I've lost some addons with important setting for this. Can somebody tell me how to stop it?

After reinstalling my OS this is the message i get after running portable Firefox. Is there any way to successfully get it running, or at least what files can i grab and copy to a fresh Firefox portable installation? I need bookmarks, history, cookies, sessions, forms, plugins, and everything i had from before. I would hate to start from scratch...

If I run PFF (18.0.1 /18.0.2) with: runas /noprofile /user:xxx ...
(the user xxx is a lokal user account with normal user rights, OS is Windows 7 64bit)

I got this error message:
Profile Missing - Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I don't have this error with some older version (i.e. 10.0.2) PFF.

Is this a bug? Or what is the problem here?

Thanks

I'm sorry if this isn't posted in the right section.

I'm currently using Firefox Beta v19. 19 Beta 4 has been out for quite some time now and since v19, no one has continued to create updates for it.

Is there anyway I can manually update Firefox beta? I once heard you can just update it when the popup for updates appear, but I'm afraid it would mess up everything.

Thanks in advance!

Due to the default values in the sections [SinglePortableAppInstance] and [SingleAppInstance] it's possible, that

1. two portable instances of Firefox can run simultaneously
2. it's impossible, that a portable and locally installed instance of Firefox can run simultaneously

I'm using FFportable on a harddisk (Vista / WinXP). After updating v17.0.1 to 18.0 I found that starting FF is slower and tabs open often reluctantly. Also with version 18.0.1
It somtimes lasts 20-30 seconds until a website has openened.

However, the issue is not reproducible, means it also happens that websites are opend in a normal speed.

Also trying it in safe mode without addons the issue exists.
I tried to start it from a SD-Card but it became not better....

Also trying the FF on different PC (Notebook with XP) the problem persists.

Does anyone have any ideas.
All was fine until the update on 19 Jan 2013 to 18.0.1 and now I have no bookmarks, no history and the backups will not load. No new bookmarks can be made and no history is remembered.
I downloaded a new version of firefox portable but to no avail.
