Firefox Portable

my antivirus program at work today detected the trojan win32/FaveAv.CX
in the installer program Firefox_Portable_2.0.0.15_en-us.paf.exe
and in the executable that's created or extracted by the installer.
It also happened to 3 others.
It was detected by computer associates etrust InoculateIT with signature 31.6.6037
on client version 6 and version 7.

I've scanned the Firefox_Portable_2.0.0.16_en-us.paf.exe and that comes up clean.

What's the deal? Is there really a trojan in it or is it a false alarm?

It seems not so easy like copy and paste, as there are different file extensions in the version ff3 for desktop.

Has anyone done that before?

I have FF3 in my computer and FF2 in PortableApps on my USB stick. I tried to move my FF3 profile to Portable Apps but it’s not working like before. Is there a step by step new procedure since FF3?

Could someone please help me. I have been able to download 'winzip' and 'winrar' files whilst in work for the last 6 months, now all of a sudden the IT dept have noticed and stopped any files larger than 10mb from being downloaded. A friend of mine advised that if I were to run Firefox portable on my usb drive that this should bypass the 10mb firewall rule, I have tried doing this and everything goes fine until I try connecting to the internet when running Firefox of my USB key, it keeps timing out, are there any other solutions I could use. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Whenever I do a download I get the download wind to pop up and an indicator in the tray below indicating the download was successful. However the download window is always empty. Shouldn't I be seeing a list of the files that I have downloaded?

Is this possible?

Dear all,

Could get flash plugin to work, however:

I have changed the FirefoxExecutable to point to FF.exe

I have changed the name of the filename itself to FF.exe, as instructed in the readme.

Now the flash plugin does not work anymore.

Thanks folks! Need this quite fast.

Hi guys !
I'm new in Firefox portable. How can I install IEtab on my Firefox 3 (USB pen) ?
Thank you in advance !

Is there some sort of addon that will give me the option to edit a webpage opened in FFP in FrontPage - just like you can use the Edit with FrontPage from IE?

Whenever I use Firefox portable it takes forever to load and then always crashes.

This happens no matter which computer I run it on, no matter how many times I download a newer version and even when I changed the driver it runs from.

Has this happened to anyone else? can anyone tell me where and whats the problem?
