Firefox Portable

1. USB contains FFPortable and a www folder containing index.html
2. I run FFP with index.html on the command line. Sort of like this:
FirefoxPortable index.html
If the desktop already has a copy of the desktop version of FF running, then the index.html file is open in the desktop instead of being open in the USB FF. Of course the USB FF has all the plugins needed to view index.html.

I've tried adding -new-window to the command line but it just opened a new window on the desktop instance.

So I need to either instruct users to close any copies of FF before plugging in USB.
OR

I cannot transfer bookmarks from Firefox Portable 17.0.1 to Private Browsing by PortableApps.com

I have saved my bookmarks in Firefox Portable 17.0.1 and they are in a file called bookmarks-2012-12-30.json. Firefox chose the filename. It then successfully read the file back in, so I know that it's OK.

I cannot find how to import these bookmarks into Private Browsing by PortableApps.com. When I eventually find where to import bookmarks (and I can only find it occasionally) it asks for an html file. Nor can I find anyway of exporting the bookmarks from 17.0.1 in html format.

Hello, I am completely new to this.

I have downloaded and installed portableapps on an empty USB stick.
I have then clicked the apps I want on it, and they were installed there.

But... what I want is my own complete Ff setup, incl bookmarks and addons, that I have on my desktop.
If I remember correctly, that would be the Ff Profile.
But, naturally the folder where I normally would paste a copy of the profile, is not on the USB stick.....

How do I transfer this to the USB stick?

Thanks

Hi.
I've noticed that whenever firefox crashes - crash dumps get saved to the '%AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports' folder.
I think it's incorrect, because I'm a user of a portable browser and I expect to have all the browser related data in it's portable folder.

I've used Process Explorer and found out that process 'firefox.exe' has an environment called MOZ_CRASHREPORTER_DATA_DIRECTORY and it points to the '%AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports' folder.

I have a Microsoft Outlook account, which I access through both Firefox Portable and Internet Explorer. When I use the former the commands in the coloured band are half-visible because the bottom half of the white lettering would be located outside this band (against a white background). When I use the latter, I do not experience such a problem.

I am using the latest version of Firefox Portable in a laptop the OS of which is Win7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Thanks and Regards

After firefoxportable upgrade to 17.0.1 the buttons on the top left corner to check messages, see comments, and friends requests no longer work, but they work in private browsing. I also cannot use chat.
I have disabled all the add ons and plugins. Still no joy. Anybody got any answers?

Allows for multiple versions of FF to be run concurrently, and pre-installs the appropriate versions of Firebug and the WebDev plug-ins by default.

I am running FF Portable (17.0.1) for the first time today. I installed it onto a flash drive then tried running it from there. I expected that it would not have any plugins but it loaded all my local plugins and could it could run flash and Unity3d.

When I go to "Add-ons" I see the same list of plugins as I would see running the local desktop copy of FF.

I'm confused because, for one, I don't want this behaviour, and two, I didn't think it could even happen.

How do you install extensions and addons to portable firefox?
I have full FF install on my comp and would like some of them (like privacy ones) on the portable FF I take with me.

I thought this would be in FAQ but it is not.

TIA

No one seems to have thought of this problem.
Firefox (regular) can import profile from other browsers
but NOT from Firefox PORTABLE.
And if you paste the portable file folder contents
into the Firefox regular profile folder
it just freezes up.

HOW CAN ONE MIGRATE FROM PORTABLE to REGULAR ????
