Firefox Portable

Hey at school the computers are suppoused to be locked down so people cant access the internet; however triallian and portable GAIM both can connect to the net (I think because of the ports not sure) Is there any way to modify firefox so it can access these holes too? The reason this sparks so much intrest is the person in charge of the network repeatedly claims there are no holes, i wanna prove him wrong.
Thanks

I saw in the known issues a comment that portable firefox may not work on a network drive. I can use pff on a network drive but find it takes at least 30 seconds to load. I have version 1.5 and only two extensions; google toolbar and forecastfox. Is there any way to speed up the load time?

The temp directory created by PFF Live tries to delete the files shortly after PFF is launched. How do I make it wait for PFF to close before it tries to auto-delete the temporary folder?

Thanks, and great work on this project!

I see lots of Firefox banners in www.spreadfirefox.com. Have anyone made a banner for Portable Firefox?

P.S: I'm not like the youngers that can do magic with Photoshop or alike, so I need your help on this one

Thanks

Is there any way to disable the automatic bookmark backup feature that keeps on adding backed up bookmark files into the "bookmarksbackup" folder? My bookmark is pretty big and this keeps on aggravating my profile. The situation is even worse in my portable version of firefox, where it tries to backup the bookmark at the beginning and save it as a bookmark.bak file while exiting and in the process takes on ages, not to mention the reduction in life of my flash drive. I need to disable this auto-backup feature, desperately. Please help.

Hi John. First of all, great job with portable Firefox. I wonder If there's a list of popular extension that work/didn't work in pFX.

So far I only tried AdBlock Plus, and it was ok. It would be helpful for everyone if there's such a list.

Anyone. I am wondering if instead of using Portable Firefox on my FGlashdriove on every PC I use if when I am on my main PC is there a way so that I can run regular Firefox on my main PC run Portable on my Flash drive and when I say add bookmarks to my main PC Firefox I can sync it with my Flash drive Portable Firefox that way my links are kept the same between them?

Cross Platform pFF OSX script has to be edited with your current DEVICE name to work.
With this code Firefox start and sync from any OS X devices/volumes without edit needed:

I've packaged a Mac OS X version using this script so you can launch it with a double click from any device:

#!/bin/sh
here="`dirname \"$0\"`"
echo "Starting Firefox from '$here'."
echo "Wait a while before Firefox start."
sh "$here/app/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox" -profile "$here/profile"
echo "Done!"
echo "When finish, quit Terminal.app before eject your portable device."
