Firefox Portable

Ok, maybe it should work this way, but I thought otherwise, especially since last release with improvements in stability.

I'm running Portable Firefox from USB-drive and it works alright. At the end of the day I would unplug USB-drive (app is still running) and go home. Next day, the app is still there, I plug drive back in and continue working.

Some time during that (next) day Firefox app crashes, even though drive is plugged in and everything is working fine. This happens pretty much every day and I'm not sure whether it's a problem or feature by design.

I have a problem getting my themes to work for my pFF.
Every time I download one from addons.mozilla.com, it will show up in the themes window with a message to restart Firefox to use.
However, when I DO restart Firefox, the theme dissapears from the list.
I checked the profile folder in my flash disk, and it is there, but it seems that Firefox can't read it.
Any help?
BTW, this is on a Sandisk cruzer micro with 512MB on Windows XP, no extensions yet.

I'm trying to set the remember passwords option on but every time I restart Firefox for U3 it's back unset again.

I am new to the Portable Firefox although I use firefox as my default browser on my own desktop.
I have installed PFF on a flash disk to be able to use it whever I go. However when I tried to use it on my office pc I am not ale to view sites which require/use mcromedia flash player. I do not have administrator previledge in order to install the flash plugin so as of now this "portable"webbrowser is really a crippled one for me.
My question now is that is there a way to install the plugin "manually" i.e. copy and paste? I know that in BartPE cd this is done.

Every time Firefox downloads the newest upgrade it is bad. When the upgrade is finished and I start the program, the File Edit View text shows up, and half of the address bar, but entire page is transparent and those things listred above are the only things visible. Nothing else shows on my screen. Is anyone else having this problem? And what can I do to ensure turn off the auto-download. I have reloaded Port. Firefox several times, but every time it wants to upgrade and I never have a choice, so I have to erase the files and re-unzip them back into the folder.... Thanks for any help. -

Hi

I have read the topics on this subject, and since I am encountering the same problems, I am posting my findings.

I have a new installed computer with XP Pro+SP1. I burn a CDR with Portable Firefox along with Apache (portable configuration of it), and PHP. My application is working fine using default browser installed on my computer like normal Firefox and IE.

When I launch portable firefox from CDR either automatically or by double clicking on the EXE, I get the now well famous message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Needless to say, that I did not change an inch of the config of firefox, nor the EXE name, nothing at all. I am using what has been packaged and extracted.

I need help bad my themes for PFF will not work at all could anyone help to see why this is happening.

When I run PortableFirefox.exe none of my bookmarks, etc. are available - but if I go to the Firefox folder - then Firefox.exe everything in my profile is there. BUT the instructions say run Portable Firefox?? Obviously I am missing SOMETHING. Can someone straighten me out?
Thanks

Hey John,
I did the tutorial on johnhaller.com to make portable firefox look like internet explorer, and in the adress input area there is a large gray tab on the right. I assume that this is for feeds, how do I remove it? Any help given would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm using the latest version of portable firefox on a Memorex u3 256meg. Works fine on the xp computers at school, but when I try to run it on win2000 pro at home I'm not able to download any files. "Save picture as," "save link as" etc. all give me a split second of hourglass, then nothing. This feature works fine in regular firefox and IE on the same machine. is this just a 2000 bug, or am I doing something wrong?
