Firefox Portable

I've looked around, but I can't find out how to do that. Anyone willing to help?

It would be very useful for tech support if Portable Firefox could run from a non-writable media like a CDR, writing its settings to %temp% (don't keeping them).

Thanks for the good work!

Hello and thank you for your Portable Firefox, it's great. I'm using v1.5 and I've noticed a small bug. When clicking on any download hyperlinks on webpages, I receive a Windows error.

"C:\DOCUME~1\MyUsername\LOCAL~1\Temp\filename.exe could not be saved, because the source file could not be saved. Try again later or contact the server administrator."

For some odd reason it wants to save the file on the hard drive inside the Temp folder. This error does not occur with the old v1.0.7. I have checked in Tools, Options, Downloads, Download Folder, and the configuration is set to "Ask me where to save every file". This is the same configuration that I have always used in v1.0.7 and it downloads files ok.

I'd first like to thank you for making these apps portable. I'm working on some projects with USB drives and this comes in very handily. I'll post more about my projects soon.
Now for the issues...
Why isn't PFF1.5 executables and dll's compressed? I compressed them myself and shrunk it down about 40%. Less USB access = faster startup

Also, I have my profile and other personal settings in a seperate directory. It took me a while, but I figured out that I had to move the PortableFirefox.ini to the same location as PortableFirefox.exe and for the ProfileDirectory setting, I had to use "..\personal\FFProfile" to specify the directory which contains my profile.

My portable firefox seems to tke favorites from the PC not my remembered ones. I have tried a few different USB keys so that is not the problem. I have also downloaded the program a few times from different places so that is also not the answer to the problem.

I have long used FF at home, and so thought that portable FF would be the perfect thing for use at work!!

unfortunately I am not sure how the computers here are connected to the internet (we have many servers etc) and the only people who know are the IT helpdesk people (who would never help with FF)

autodetect settings gives no joy, and i remember having to call the helpdesk to have my computer connection settings changed when i started working.

is there any way for firefox to use the IE connection settings or for me to be able to see them, as they are hidden in the internet explorer options.

I know that GreaseMonkey is now supported by PortableFirefox but is it the same for MeasureIt ?

This is probably unsupported, but don't yell at me. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I can't get Java working on portable firefox

I already had portable firefox working nicely, downloaded Deer Park 1.6 Alpha 2, compressed all the dlls and exes with upx and put it into my /firefox/ directory (where the core firefox stuff is). Java applets do not load, but sun's website detects java. All my plugins are in he /plugins/ directory. On Deer park on my computer, Java Works, and on portable firefox 1.5 java works. But it's not working on Deer park.

Im using Portable Firefox 1.5, and when i load it from my thumbdrive it will forget the toolbar and extension settings i had set the previous time i opened it. Why is this happening?

I have just installed portable firefox to my usb, now I have a large grey zone at the bottom of the screen, about 15%, is this normal?
