Firefox Portable

FireFox Portable won't open on 1 PC, but opens on the rest

I have been using FireFox Portable for quite some time now on my old HP XZ133 WinXP Home notebook and my Gateway tablet PC at work. Suddenly on Friday when I tried to open Firefox Portable from my portable HDD, it acted like it was working normally, but Firefox never came up. I tried restarting the computer and performing a Windows System Restore back to last Thursday when I know it was working perfectly and still had no luck. When I plug the HDD into my Tablet at the office, everything works perfectly with no problems whatsoever.

2.0.0.12 Won't open pages

I've got a bug with my portable Firefox, it runs and lunches but if I open any web page it never loads, I see the status bar flicker then go blank. This only happens when I install version 2.0.0.12
I think there is an add-on it don't like because when I run in safe-mode it runs fine.
When I re-installed version 2.0.0.11 it ran fine again.

My Add-Ons are:
*Adblock Plus (0.7.5.3)
*DownloadHelper (2.6.1)
*FaviconizeTab (0.9.7.4)
*FireFly (0.3.3)
*Firefox Google Bookmarks (0.3)
*Flashblock (1.5.5)
*Fullerscreen (2.3.3)
*Gmail Space (0.5.92)
*Google Toolbar (3.0.20070525W)

Migrating Settings?

Submitted by malikorx@gmail.com on February 10, 2008 - 10:36pm

I just use Firefox Portable on my computer and don't install the regular version. I would like the regular version on my computer, but I'm unsure as to how I can migrate all my settings, stored passwords, bookmarks, etc. from the Portable version to the Standard version. What is the easiest way to do this? I have tried CLEO and FEBE add-ons but they don't work properly with the portable version so I would prefer just copying my folders that contain the data. Can anyone help me?

Request: Savemode

Hi,

Problem solved
I have a big problem, can't use my Firefox Portable anymore, so I have to browse with the ugly IE:

After I read much about it, I wanted to give the FF-Addon PicLense a try. But with my old onboard-graphics, firefox isn't running anymore. I get an bluescreen of death with my 3D-Driver mentioned... Thats nothing interesting, it sometimes happens with my 3D-programs.

But how can I get my Firefox run again?
Is there a way to start it in savemode, so I can uninstall Piclense?

How Do I Update Firefox?

Submitted by malikorx@gmail.com on February 10, 2008 - 11:43am

I have been using Firefox Portable for a year now and have been allowing the auto-update feature to update my version of Firefox Portable. In the FAQ Sticky it says that it is not OK to do that. So I ask, how would I migrate all of my settings and whatnot from the directory of my old Firefox Portable to the directory of the new Firefox Portable? Or is there an easier way?
