Firefox Portable

I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 on win xp. I tried uninstall then install w/both restarting browser & pc as well as restart Firefox after clearing the cache. Nothing happened, it is still not working. Could there be something wrong with my Firefox profile. Any ideas of how I could go about finding out what's wrong with my firefox profile if it is that? Any ideas of what is going on at all?

I'm sorry to say this but the 3.6 beta series of FF is a disaster.

None of the three of them are working properly. It is flooding with chrome errors even if all extensions are disabled.
I'm talking about the upgrade situation from version 3.5.5 and I'm not going to do a fresh install because I don't want to reinstall and reconfigure all of my about 40 extensions.

And furthermore it keeps constantly messing around with extensions.ini. 9 out of 10 times it doesn't recognize the path properly and then I have to set it manually in that file.

This may be addressed elsewhere in this forum, but I do not have the time or inclination to go through the forum to find it, so here is my problem:

I have version 3.5.3 installed, and the update options all unchecked in Options > Adanced > Update. Do not assume I do not have the options unchecked, as I absolutely do. However, Firefox continues to update itself, as well as the addons, and can't seem to update itself correctly.

"All your cookies and other data is self-contained on your portable device" - where exactly are cookies located on the portable device? Suppose we did not choose the option 'delete cookies when Firefox exits," then where to go to manually remove them? Also, what about the temporary files open in the portable Firefox? Are they save on the portable device (where?), or in the System's Local Settings folder, or not saved at all? Thanks

I want to change the Firefox Splash Screen using NSIS compiler.

When I compile the FirefoxPortable.nsi file the following error message is displayed.

I was trying out 3 new addons and when I restarted Firefox Portable, it crashed. I tried launching it again. Crashed. I can normally solve things on my own, but this one has me stumped. There's no Safe Mode in Portable Firefox (or I can't find it), so I can't figure out which addon is borking it. What do I do?

Hi,

currently I run Firefox Portable 3.0.15.
Now I saw that Firefox Portable 3.5.5 has been released.
So I checked it out and it worked fine for me in my test enviroment.
After putting it to my Portable Suite it was recognized to be version 3.0.7.

Now I am a bit confused.

All versions 3.0.x were automatically updated to 3.0.y so far (f.e. 3.0.14 to 3.0.15).

But there are the versions 3.5.z as well.

Which version is the actual one?

The machines local firefox profile folder shows signs of Firefox Portable activities:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Extensions-BackupByFirefoxPortable
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Crash Reports-BackupByFirefoxPortable

Is this a result of well-known update bug or some other issue?

I know that there's some nitpicky legal reason that John can't turn off automatic updates, that's fine.
But (and this has happened to me before) Firefox just auto-updated itself to 3.5.5.
I looked at my settings, and I ALWAYS set my Tools>Options>Advanced>Update so that updating Firefox is UNchecked.
It's just that Firefox apparently doesn't care, it still autoupdates.

So I give up trying to fight it. I'm not re-installing FFP to fix any potential problems from the automatic update.
