Firefox Portable

Hello,

i need a Browser to show some .html documents from a cd. So i choose the Firefox Portable V 2.0.20 and modify it as i need. The V2 because it´s small,fast and there are no updates needed. The Browser is working so far. But at one of my Testsystems the Browser opens not the startpage (defined in the firefoxportable.ini) but he opens a page wich is telling me that the google toolbar was succesfull installed. Furthermore the Bitdefender Toolbar apear in the Browser. The Systems is Windows XP with a local installation f FF 3.5 and bitdefender.

currently, whenever I plug my USB with FF portable on it, it installs all the random plugins/extensions) from the computer i plugged it into.

things like realplayer and mcafee. which i REALLY don't want on firefox. worst yet, even when i uninstall hard-to-uninstall addons, they just reinstall the next time i plugin PFF.

i'm asking if this behavior is normal, and how do i STOP this from happening?

I have just found the new 2nd profile app and it sounds great. I downloaded it to try as I use FF in 3 locations which need 3 different proxy settings and I thought this might be a nice quick way of starting up FF already set up for the location without having to edit the proxy each time.

What I found, thought, was that everything in the 2nd profile was "reset", i.e. no addons, bookmarks etc. Is there a way that I can easily get them synchronised so that I only need to change the proxy setting?

When I say initial, it means it's there even with privacy mode enabled.

It's basically the mozilla sites plus this site. How can I view/edit this list?

When I look at the bookmarks, I see more than one portableapps.com pages. But the autocomplete list has just one portableapps.com page - the domain itself.

Thanks!

hey all

I have 2 installs of FF, one regular full clean version and a portable version that has all my addons for dev etc.

I have flash player 10 working ok in the full install. but I still get the adobe prompt to install if I use the portable version.

Have tried using the flash installer on the PA FF page but it gives me a script error when it trys to install. (downloaded ok)

I copied the plugins folder across fro#m the full to portable but still no joy...

Generally, it is not a good idea to use on-line banking facilities by using say a pc in a library.

But if one uses Firefox on a USB, would this be safe?

Any other suggestions for making this kind of activitiy safe (in cases of emergency) would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have downloaded Firefox Portable two times and it says it is broken. Please fix the LINK!

I just like your Portable Software...

Also, please fix ClamWin Portable, it does the same thing.
There is also a few more programs that do this.

I've been using portable FF 3.6 since it was first released, running on Vista Home Premium, and all plugins and add-ons worked correctly.

But a couple of days ago I upgraded my OS to Windows 7 Home Premium, clean install (reformatted and started over). Now the Flash plugin doesn't appear to work, although NPSWF32.dll is there in the Data\Plugins folder.

I have not reinstalled Flash yet locally--I thought at first I wouldn't need to because I thought it was bundled with some other software. But to verify, I searched the hard drive for that dll and it's not there.

mozilla firefox, password protect firefox

-download firefox portable from https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable.
-install it to say, d:\apps\firefoxportable.
-download zip.exe and unzip.exe from http://stahlworks.com/dev/index.php?tool=zipunzip.
-put them in d:\apps\firefoxportable dir.
-copy 2 vbs files to d:\apps\firefoxportable dir (see end of this text).
-Optional: make copy of your d:\apps\firefoxportable\data\profile dir, or rename it to d:\apps\firefoxportable\data\profile2

-optional (warning this will delete your profile settings!!!):

Meh, why hard-coding all the paths in a portable release. Paradox and not customizable
Have a look at Diashapes Portable (not supported anymore, works with Dia 0.97 only) and Dia Portable. User could set custom install paths, settingsdirectory, appdirectory ... and with the proper ini-entries it just works. Always.

Oh, and there is a major bug:
