I am currently trying to do extension development when I get the time and this tends to happen when I am at work where I use PFF. With Firefox 1.5 you can place a file inside the extensions folder in the format of "@" and inside that file place the directory path to the extension files. (ie: E:\projects\helloworld) and when you start up FF it loads it. However PFF doesn't seem to do this like Firefox 1.5 does? Mainly this just helps with not having to create a new xpi file and reinstall the extension every time a change is made to the extension code, you just restart FF.
Hi
I used pFF 107 and all appears fine
I upgraded to pFF 1.5 and I have found that a few right click menu options fail to do anything
right click - Open in new Window (nothing happens)
right click - Save link as (nothing happens)
right click - view image (nothing happens)
right click open in new tab works fine
PS also I have a large blank section at bottom of pFF 1.5 window about 2.5 cm and border grey - is that correct?
But Thanks for all your work, pOO and pFirefox 107 save me time
i use portable firefox on the university computers, where there's the "normal" version of firefox, too. do you think that using portable firefox on those pc's can create any conflicts, such as the portable firefox settings are copied on the normal version?
Is there a way to synchronize changes to my bookmarks between the FF on my PC hard drive and the pFF on my USB drive? The initial import to pFF was fine but now that I have made changes in one or the other, I want to get them to be all the same. It has always been a hassle between my work FF bookmarks being different from my home FF bookmarks, so if there was a sync function in pFF, it would allow me to keep all three bookmark files the same.

PFF does work on Windows 95 without any modifications right? Just wanted to know in case I go to a place with (gasp!) Windows 95 on the machines.
Hi, I just started using PFF and it's great. Hopefully someone can help me
I wish to avoid the known issue mentioned in the README file, which states:
----
LOCAL FILES CREATED - A directory (%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox) is created on the local machine (if Firefox is not installed locally) and a pluginreg.dat file is created within it. This is a limitation of Firefox itself. If you set the UserProfile directory within the INI file, this will not happen.
----
Which INI file are we talking about here? I assumed the PortableFirefox.ini file is being referenced, and I changed this line from
Greets,
Previous to the 1.5 release, we were able to change the icon that PFF uses. I am not seeing where this is doable in 1.5. Anyone have a clue where I can do this?

Hi, I got a new flash drive and I want to install portable ff and this is what I thought to do
1. Download the zip from this site
2. Unzip it somewhere in HDD (C:)
3. Install extensions because HDD access is faster than Flash drive
4. Move the whole DIR to the flash drive
Can I do that? would it corrupt something?
Thanks
I normally use PFF on a Win2000 machine at work (that does not have regular Firefox installed). It works fine. When I try to use PFF with my thumb drive on any XP machine (that has Firefox on them), it does not start up. When I installed I took the default directory structure and haven't renamed anything. Any suggestions? TIA
