Firefox Portable

Run Portable FX -- alongside -- Mozilla FX

Submitted by daniel on December 15, 2005 - 6:30am

Is there anyway I can run (concurrently) a copy of Portable Firefox (any version) and also run Mozilla* Firefox (any version) together in the same session?

For instance, right now I have Portable Firefox v1.07 loaded. I want to load up Mozilla Firefox v1.5. When I click on the icon for Mozilla Firefox v1.5, it just loads up another window of Portable Firefox v1.07 instead.

1) What gives?

2) Does this have to do with having the same window title (name)? If so, back then sometime long ago, I ran across some sort of extension which generated a random window title upon startup, but I can not seem to find it. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Update in Suite?

When will Firefox be updated in the Portable Apss Suite? Or is it possible to do it by myself? I like the suite but it seems it isn't updated as much as the portable programs (I can understand why)..

Corrupted profile

Hi,

I've made a mistake last night. While starting PFF from the USB drive, I accidentally clicked on Cancel in a windows titled "Copying...". Now all my extensions are disabled, the menus reverted to default settings, the toolbars are gone. The only things that remained untouched are my homepage and my bookmarks. I can see all the extensions in the Tools -> Extensions, but none is active. I'm using version 1.0.7 because some of the extensions aren't updated for the last version of Firefox.

Is there a way to fix this or do I have to start from scratch? Please help...

Problem with suite.

I downloaded the suite onto my computer hard drive and unzipped it, i then put my old Portable FireFox 1.0 Profile into the place for the firefox profile using the suite setup, everything works fine when it is on my hard drive, but i copied the files over to my usb drive and it only loads my shortcuts neither my extensions or my theme load. What should i do?

Cannot start it!

I always get "Another instance of Firefox is already running. Please close other instances of Firefox before launching Portable Firefox.". Title of the error is "Portable Firefox - your browser ...". I think it's about the launcher.

mass production and password manager

Hi,

I'd like to give quite a big number of USB keys to peoples, and i'd like to put in these keys a portable firefox with a password registered for a web-site.

Like this, no need for the people to remember teir password, or to register it themself, it's already done. They just have to use the key and enjoy.

My problème is : I can't register all the passwords manualy.There's a lot of keys to create, and it will be done automaticly. So i'd like to find a way to register the password with a small script.
