Firefox Portable

Hello all. I try to download and auto-install the flash extension that is supposed to work with my Firefox Portable, yet it is not available. Has anyone else noticed this?

After installing some of Add-ons, Firefox hang-up after two minutes and takes all memory and processor time. No matters what add-on is installed - it works only with no add-ons. How to solve this problem?

I can't update, not even in safe mode. It says it found the update, but then the little progress bar runs for a while (no actual progress, just the 3 little bars running), doesn't actually connect, and says it downloaded the update and wants me to restart. So I close Fx, open it, and it says it needs to download a full update, and does the same thing ad infinitum. Forecasfox does the same thing too for some reason. The three boxes will go on forever.

How come it takes so long for it to load when switching from diffrent pc's? It still takes a while to load from the same pc, why cant it load as fast as Portable PuTTy? That up and running before the splash screen even closes. As Im typing this, its already been about 3min and firefox still hasnt loaded yet. Of course Im used to this...

I only use Firefox Portable. Every time I click on an URL on a mail or in MS WORD, it open "another" firefox, not my portable firefox with my own configuration, my bookmarks, my extensions... but another "clean" firefox.

It weird because I don´t have instelled the "Official" version, justt the portable.

I want to know how can I do to open my FF when I click on a link.

Sorry for my english

I have recentely found firefoxportable and found this really helpful but found a problem.

when i am running firefoxportable on a computer without admin right, and without language pack installed on the computer, if i run firefoxportable to visit some other language web site ( chinese for example ) i am not able to change the encode to display the web page in that language even tho i have the options to such a language and all i got are a bunch of uni-code characters.

I would like to make my own custom splash screen. Can you please let me know how I can do this. Also for the other mozilla products.

thanks!

I wasn't sure if i should post this on the "running multiple instances" thread.

so apparently if both the launcher and the firefox (also thunderbird) main executable have the same file name, firefox (thunderbird) assumes another instance is running and refuses to run (if the multiple instances option is set to false).

Hi,

I am trying to create a portable FF for linux and it's pretty much done except FF looks in ~/.mozilla/firefox/* for pluginreg.dat upon start.

I remember reading this was an issue when Mr. Haller was first creating portableFF for Windows.

So, if I compile with "--with-user-appdir=.CustomDir" FF will not look in ~/.mozilla, correct?

I don't want FF creating any dirs on the HDD and right now if ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat does not exist FF creates it.

Can I compile without specifying a dir, eg:
--with-user-appdir=

Can it be loaded to Firefox portable? I tried but had no success. How about all Firefox extensions? Do they all work on the portable version?

Thanks.
