Firefox Portable

I would like some clarification on the best procedure to update Firefox Portable.

Obviously, the easiest way to do it is through the app's update feature. However, while the forum FAQ says that's fine, the support FAQ says that it may leave some extraneous data behind, and some of the forum posts say it will screw up Add-ons/Extensions.

What is the correct answer as to how using the internal update feature will affect things?

Please remove 3.6.14 from the download immediately, as there is a LOT of problems with it breaking certain Java applets etc.

They released 3.6.15 to fix it.

Is there any way I can salvage some data, or do I need to go back to my last backup of it? My USB Stick still appears to work, it's just that Firefox Portable is now not working on any computer I've plugged the USB Stick into (2 tried so far). Even Safe Mode doesn't seem to work.

Best regards,
Steven.

Hi!

Is it possible to make a new paf.exe for the latest Minefield?

FirefoxPortableNightly_4.0_Beta_12_Pre_English_online.paf.exe doesn't work since the more recent Minefield is like firefox-4.0b13pre.en-US.win32.zip.

In other words, 13 not 12.

Or can one just fiddle with the installer.ini of the "12" paf.exe and change 12 to 13 using a text editor? Or will more changes (beyond my competence) be needed?

Will this be sufficient?

As long as all our local installation of Firefox are of version 3.5
the Firefox Portable should be so as well.
But latest available Portable 3.5 is 3.5.15, a vulnerable version.
All our local Firefox installations are of 3.5.17, the latest available.
This is also the current valid sub-version of 3.5.

Is it possible to synchronize up the portable 3.5 Firefox with
local 3.5.17? Synchronizing up the binaries in order
to have Firefox Portable 3.5.17

I saw, in some old threads on this forum, that a few people were having a problem in which they received the message:

"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

I was having this problem too. At first, I couldn't figure it out, but then I did figure it out later. So I'd like to share what I found.

Hi!

RSS button on FF beta 4 doesn't work on FF portable.
Any idea?

Thank you
Ciao!

Hi all,
I tried to restore my profile on a portable version with FEBE (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/febe/) and it seems to fail. Do you ever encounter this issue ?
Many thanks for your help and regards...

Every time my f-Fox port changes drive letters or folders, flash quits working and needs to be reinstalled.

Is the any way around this problem? It wasn't that way with my earlier versions, just f-Fox 3.6.2.
