Firefox Portable

I reliazed that this folder appear after I upgrade from Firefox Portable 4.0 -> 5.0/6.0.

Can I delete this folder ? Normal Firefox don't have this file, seem it used to update extensions.sqlite data in Firefox profile folder.

When I go to the add-on page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/) it does not display correctly. Blue underlined links on the left side of an all white background.

In light of the reasonable memory improvements in Firefox 7, which have not only been talked about quite a bit, but also noticeable to me, I would really like to see Firefox 7.0b4 or 7.0b5 (which should be out within a couple of days) made available in a PortableApps version.

Even as a beta, I would just assume use Firefox 7 rather than wait another 2 or 3 weeks for it reach "release" status.

Thank you in advance.

I somehow achieved a highly unsecure situation on one of my systems and can't even remediate it now.
Clean uninstal also seems useless for a portable application, isn't it?

- Had an old Firefox (presumably 4.x) running on a Win XP system.
- Unistalled it, but without deleting cache and presets.
- Had a Firefox Protable installation on a USB (at that time 5.x, now 6.x) and decided to simply copy it to my HDD in order to avoid re-installing all addons and so on

This question is about Firefox Portable Legacy v.2.0.0.20 but hope it will not be dismissed as irrelevant. I use this and Thunderbird v.2.0.0.24 as I cannot stand the more modern versions.
Usually I use Firefox on a stick on my own/ family machines with Admin privs so Flash and other add-ons get loaded almost invisibly.
Now on a borrowed machine I cannot listen to the BBC or Classic FM (radio) or watch YouTube videos (some/ all?) or watch BBC TV ... probably other missing utilities.

When I try to import favourites from IE7 I get an error in Firefox Portable 6.0:
"A script on the page may be busy or it may have stopped responding - script:chrome://browser/content/browser.js:3508"

In an attempt to solve this problem I deleted all the Firefox folders from my flash drive, downloaded FirefoxPortable_6.0.1_English.paf.exe to the desktop from the link on portableapps.com and reinstalled Firefox Portable 6.0 on the flash drive. The problem remained.

I am using Windows XP Home on my desktop computer.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using Firefox Portable in a TrueCrypt-encrypted file container. This functions exactly like a flash disk (once a password is supplied and the file container is opened, it is mounted by TrueCrypt as a drive at My Computer.) Since it is actually in a hard disk, and not in a flash drive, reads and writes are not an issue. Because of this, I would like to enable Firefox Portable's cache.

How do I set Firefox Portable to have its cache enabled and have it in the Firefox Portable directory?

Hi!

I am able to run the Google "Voice and Video Chat" within my FireFox PortableApps program.

However, I must reinstall the program each time I initially open up the FireFox program from the USB.

Is there anyway to always run the Google "Voice and Video Chat" program from within the Portable Apps FireFox program after installing it once.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Does anyone know where to put the Roboform Adapter in Firefox Portable. It works with the installed version of Firefox but not portable.

Normal firefox will let me launch multiple windows from the commandline like this using the -new-window flag:

Firefox.exe -new-window

if try to do that with firefoxportable.exe it says:

"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."

Is there any way i can launch multiple windows from the commandline?
