Firefox Portable

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?

greetings

Interested in U3 tech and can't figure why Mr. Haller FF 1.5.x is almost half sized of Yourbrainz FF 1.5.x

EDIT 6.5mb (Haller) versus 11.5mb (yourbrainz)

Is there a problem if Firefox updates itself? I have the current PortableApps Suite with Firefox 1.5, but Firefox told me it needed to update. So I let it, but it apparently only went from 1.5 (portable) to 1.5 (non-portable, I guess).

Is this a problem?

I am using since several weeks pFF, which is loaded on a USB-drive, and I am encountering some problems with it. On some PC (regardless of operating system Win2000 or WinXP) when I start the programm the extentions are nor loading. Checking the extention menue it says that these will be installed when I will restart pFF. On other PC the extensions work perfectly well. Does anyone have an explanation for this behaviour?? What can I do (check, change) when the extensions fail to load???
I appreciate any help very much.

This has probably already been asked/addressed (I couldn't find anything in my research), but does PFF support multiple profiles using the Profile Manager?
