Firefox Portable

As many of you know, the taskbar in Windows 7 works a little differently than Windows in the past. If you pin an application to the taskbar, it doesn't go away when you close the app. This feature in Windows 7 has essentially replaced Quick Launch toolbar.

Hello,
"Xmarks not compatible with Firefox 3.5.2" was what was seen after I tried to add-on Xmarks (3.1.0) to Firefox 3.5.2 portable. The quote is not completely true because Xmarks (3.1.0) is compatible with Firefox 3.5.2 (standard). I never had Xmarks as an add-on to Firefox 3.5 portable or any other version. Before I downgrade Firefox on my U3 flash to a version compatible with Xmarks, I'd like to know the most recent version Xmarks worked with, if any.

Please advise!

I've been using Portable Firefox for a year or so with no problems so decided to install it on a second USB stick but after installing it with the same extensions as the other & my main Firefox I removed the drive & each time that I put it back in later to use it & tried to run FF again I got the crash report & each time I tried to choose to restart FF from that the crash report just kept opening again, Quit Firefox is the only option that works so I deleted the Portable Firefox folder off the drive & reinstalled again but the same thing just happened again, I've tried

Hello.
I'm using Firefox Portable Russian 3.5.2

Periodically I have a problem. Disk cache disappear.
I can not be sure, but i think it happens when firefox does not exit clearly (crashes or computer hang up).

It is possible to avoid disk cache cleanup?

my normal mode is to be running 2 instances of firefox, with the 2nd one started in sandboxie. i use the 2nd one for random surfing/searching and also clicked links in emails open in it.

when i try to open a 2nd ffportable in the sandbox, i get a message telling me to shut down the other instance.

is this really a limitation of ffportable vs regular?

When I go to the help menu there is no Check for updates... option. Instead there is a "loading" animation next to the words "Downloading Firefox 3.5.2." I have NOT checked for updates, but it automatically starts downloading. The download never says that its finished, but it has updated itself automatically when I restart Firefox. The weird thing about this is that I have disabled automatic updates under the Tools>Options menu. This is a portable edition running off a flash drive. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't want to update to Firefox 3.5.2.

AVG @#$%!ware has taken over PortableFF Address bar search even though I don't have add-on or plug-in installed on my PC or in portable profile

what file do have to edit to fix this?

*EDIT*
the long story... I was over friends house who is even-less technically inclined than me. He had AVG antiware install on his PC.

I loaded up my PortableFF just to check my e-mails during this I disabled some local add-ons that where slowing things down restarted PortableFF ...when I exited FF I got crash dialog but didn't think anything of it at the time.

I always use firefox portable whenever I go on a computer, Except when I'm on a slow computer. I found that Firefox takes about 6.72 times longer to load pages using DSL than opera@USB. I tried using a fresh copy of firefox portable (without adons) and it was still roughly 3 times slower (it varied) on loading pages. Until I fix this problem, I'll use opera@usb.

Does anyone know how to improve FFP's speed?

PS I type this to you using Opera@USB

Sup every1. I am brand spankin' new to ffp. I'm not a developer, programmer, Tech expert or the like, but I'm interested and am learning very quickly most "how to do's" as I'm not as knowledgeable....yet. I joined PortableApps.com to learn.

Hi!

Great web site !

Please, could you add a warning if someone click on "firefox.exe" instead of "firefoxportable.exe" saying "Hey you donkey ! Use the launcher to keep FF portable !"

Thanks,

Steve
