Export profile firefox portable to firefox no-portable

Submitted by diemaciel on December 28, 2009 - 11:56am

Now I own computer, so I plan to switch from FF to FF portable non-portable. It's as simple as just copying the entire profile? or there are files that are not compatible? For example is that the bookmarks are easy to export but i dont know how doit with other things (history, extensions, etc etc)

P.S.: sry for my bad english - google traslator ^_^

Slow Firefox problem

Submitted by seasteve on December 23, 2009 - 5:59pm

I have been using the Standard PortableApps.com Suite for more than two years and have been VERY pleased. I regularly use Portable Thunderbird, with the Lightning addon, Portable Firefox, and I added RoboForm2Go and a diary program to create a great portable "office". I even created a batch file to open all four programs, converted it to an executable, and added it the PortableApps menu.

For the past few months I've been having problems and believe I've narrowed it down to Portable Firefox.

Firefox Portable 3.5.6 -- Crash Happy?

I'm unsure if it's Firefox itself or the portable version, but Firefox has gotten a little "Crash Happy" since I've upgraded.

The majority of the crashes are occurring with Facebook apps. On the upside, Firefox isn't freezing up to the point I have to kill it.

I just want to make sure that it's just not me having this issue.

Firefox Portable and Java Portable

Submitted by Mets on December 18, 2009 - 2:57pm

How do I get Firefox Portable working with Java Portable? The upcoming version of Firefox, 3.6, will only support Java 6 Update 10 and upwards. I installed Java Portable, which is supposed to be Java 6 Update 17, to X:\portableapps\CommonFiles\Java as requested. My Firefox is installed to X:\portableapps\browser. When I load Firefox 3.6 Beta 4, it does not see Java Portable....

Firefox portable updates automatically through the web even when I told it not to

I had set my previous version of portable FF (whichever that was before the 3.5.6 update) NOT to update automatically but it automatically updated this morning.

That bothers me because of this message from this web page:

https://portableapps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable/faq

"The Mozilla Software Updater no longer correctly updates secondary, standalone and portable versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, etc."

Should I be Concerned?

Hello,

Five minutes before I wrote this sentence, I updated my Firefox to 3.5.6. When I opened it for the second time, it basically asked me if I wanted to copy Firefox temporarily to the hard drive, because it had read-only files. I said "no" and it said Firefox had to close. After that, its working as if nothing ever happened...

Should I be concerned with this message or is it irrelevant?
