Firefox Portable

I tried to use FirefoxPortable 2nd profile with Firefox 4 beta 10 which is installed in FirefoxPortableTest folder.
I found a file FirefoxPortable.ini in which there is a setting "FirefoxDirectory=..\..\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox" so i changed it to "FirefoxDirectory=..\..\FirefoxPortableTest\App\firefox" and tried putting it in different folder but no matter where i put it it wouldn't work.

For some reason the built in media player for Xm/Sirius radio does not work with my Firefox. Any particular reason why I would be able to get all the way to the playershell but it just won't play?

Hello !

Can't download Firefox Beta 10 in French...
Thanks.

I see there's an issue with FFPortable and Thunderbird Portable. But I'm not using Thunderbird Portable -- I just want the mailto links in FFPortable to open a composition window in Thunderbird, which is my default email client. But I get the "Thunderbird is already running . . ." message, instead of a composition window. (And it is my default client. FF, Chrome and all my other applications are recognizing it as such.)

I found this:

Hi,

I've searched the support page and can't find any who may have the same problem that am having. According to the privacy FAQ, none should have been written to the C:\ drive so am wanting to know what's causing this.

Am using Firefox Portable from PortableaApps and I let Firefox update whenever it want to. Currently am on Firefox 3.6.13. Just noticed that everytime I run Firefox it creates the directory C:\WINNT\Profiles\\Application Data\Mozilla, is this normal or expected behaviour of the portable version?

Under this directory are two (2) sub-directories as below:

Is there any way to run Firefox 3.0.19 and 3.6.x simultaneously? I think it's possible by allowing multiple instances of Firefox, but I might shoot myself in the foot that way, so I'm looking for a way that only allows me to run a single instance of each version at the same time.

I need this, because VMWare Server console plugin requires the older Firefox version, and VMWare has made clear that they are not going to bother about updating their plugin.

One point I thought I'd mention is that if you add NPSWF32.DLL to the plugins folder of any portable browser, this results in Flash cookies being saved to your userprofile's AppData\Macromedia folder.

There may be no way to avoid this I guess, but it does mean that a personal browsing-trail is being left-behind on the computer. If sites use Flash cookies as an ID -which I believe some do- then it might also cause the installed browser to suddenly start referring-to the computer's owner as whatever ID you gave to a site.

I installed a 2nd portable profile using the profile utility from this website. The 2nd profile is s---l---o---w. It takes minutes to start, installing an extension takes nearly as long. The first profile does not seem to have this issue. Has anyone else had this problem?

on a typical day, i'll use portable firefox 4 beta at work and update extensions as necessary.

later, i'll be at home and fire up firefox 4 beta only to discover that i have to update the same extensions all over again.

apparently, firefox 4 beta isn't retaining setup data but i haven't a clue about how to fix it.

i have firefox 3.6.13 portable on the same drive but rarely use it. might it be that the firefoxes are conflicting/confused about where setup data should be stored?

thanks for any help.

regards, ..

I tried both Firefox stable version and beta version but both failed. My problem is when I pin the 'Firefoxportable' it starts with the default firefox profile and an user directory in my "E:\Users\Arnob\AppData\Roaming' is created. Whereas, the software should use the profile in 'Installation directory (where I installed the portable firefox)\App\Data".

My steps are as follows:
1) Instal the portable Firefox
2) Start it and right click to pin
