Firefox Portable

Is it possible to move the profile directory for PFF? I tried running PFF with the -p switch and nothing happened.

I'm getting bookmark backup files written every time I run portable Firefox. They are written in the bookmarksbackup folder under the profile folder. How do I disable this? I don't need to have them backed up and I don't want a bunch of junk written to my USB drive.

Hello

I've installed Portable Firefox and portable Thunderbird on my USB stick, and I use them mainly on a PC which previously has the desktop version.

when I uninstalled Firefox from this machine it obviously lose the HTML file association with Firefox. I Like very much to read RSS feeds titles in Thunderdbird and then open the body in Firefox but seemed to me that with the portable version it isn't possible anymore. Yesterday I register portable firefox as the default browser and everything seemed to work the old way, but this is not true: when I launch firefox with PStart I get full bookmarks, extension and settings, when I launch from Thunderbird I don't get the same configuration...

I've got a whole bunch of search engines ("searchplugins" folder) installed. I copied the folder from my HD. However, nothing shows up in the pFF search bar. I have no icon and the drop down list is empty.
Is there some file somewhere I need to reset?

Hi,

I love PFF but it has lately updated without me being able to stop it. It downloaded updates for 1.5.0.1 or whatever....will this cause me any problems with PFF in the future? thanks

Can anyone tell me if there are any implications with using the Fasterfox extension with Portable Firefox? Does it cause more wear to the USB drive with extra writes to the drive? I am happy to use it on my portable hard drive but it was using it on my flash drive which concerned me.
Thanks in advance

I did this in two different PCs with clean portable firefoxes... The patch it downloads fails, so it ends up downloading the whole thing from scratch. then update works. It's a pain if you are on dial up (slow connection)...

I wanted to report this as a bug, but couldn't find any tools to report a bug. any ideas?

If i was using "userContent.css" where would that file go? Or what folders would i have to make...
From what i know of the profiles in Mozilla Firefox, there was a string of numbers folder then the profile folder where you can put the userContent.css file in the chrome folder (not sure how this helps...)

but i would like to know for a fresh install of PortableFirefox 1.5. Because i believe after a upgrade to 1.5.1 there are several new folders made that lead to the correct folder the userContent.css needs to be in to work.

I have PFF 1.5 on my USB stick with the "Mr Tech Local Install" extension.
THat has a facility to specify an editor to view or edit user.js and several other files. Because you don't know what drive letter the USB stick is going to have on a particular computer I am unable to specify a command line to find an editor.
I've thought of putting notepad in the PFF exe file directory but can't get anything to happen.

Hi All,

I developed an application that uses Portable Firefox browser, and works very well with it. However, I have one problem for now. When I click on a link (hyperlink with extrnal URL) within the content are of my application, the link opens up another instance of Portable Firefox browser window for display.

Since this link is an external URL, how can I have Portable Firefox it up with user's default browser, such as IE?

Can Portable Firefox connect to a URL (external to my application), and open the URL with user's default browser (connection and proxy settings), even in a firewall environment?
