Firefox Portable

Why is the process started by FirefoxPortable.exe (3.5.2) sometimes FIREFOX.EXE and sometimes firefox.exe? It is in both cases the same executable X:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\firefox.exe

Hi.

I am the one that asked for 3.0.15 release and now I'm doing the same with 3.0.16 hehe.

I really want to update, but some addons will be disable if I do it. For example, I have SwitchProxy and despite here says it's compatible with 3.5, it really screws up my Firefox. It's not my fault, as I have read in Bugzilla website.

This came up in another topic, somebody did make a Firefox persona for PortableApps.com, but IMHO it doesn't look right.

I'm unsure if it's Firefox itself or the portable version, but Firefox has gotten a little "Crash Happy" since I've upgraded.

The majority of the crashes are occurring with Facebook apps. On the upside, Firefox isn't freezing up to the point I have to kill it.

I just want to make sure that it's just not me having this issue.

i am downloading the fire fox and i was just wondering will it bypass any internet blockers, such as astro blocker, this is the one that is on my schools computers

How do I get Firefox Portable working with Java Portable? The upcoming version of Firefox, 3.6, will only support Java 6 Update 10 and upwards. I installed Java Portable, which is supposed to be Java 6 Update 17, to X:\portableapps\CommonFiles\Java as requested. My Firefox is installed to X:\portableapps\browser. When I load Firefox 3.6 Beta 4, it does not see Java Portable....

I had set my previous version of portable FF (whichever that was before the 3.5.6 update) NOT to update automatically but it automatically updated this morning.

That bothers me because of this message from this web page:

https://portableapps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable/faq

"The Mozilla Software Updater no longer correctly updates secondary, standalone and portable versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, etc."

Hello,

Five minutes before I wrote this sentence, I updated my Firefox to 3.5.6. When I opened it for the second time, it basically asked me if I wanted to copy Firefox temporarily to the hard drive, because it had read-only files. I said "no" and it said Firefox had to close. After that, its working as if nothing ever happened...

Should I be concerned with this message or is it irrelevant?

We have a situation where we'd like to deploy a whole bunch of copies of portable FF to USB sticks, each with the same set of customizations preset (certain modules added, config settings changed, etc.). Is it possible to roll one's own portable FF installer with this stuff already done? If so, what's the easiest way to do it?

I'm using FF 3.5.5 Portable, syncing it between two computers with a flash drive. When I transfer FF from one computer to another, I delete the previous Firefox folder - that could be important.
Anyway, some of my addons get screwed up. Several (CS Lite, JSView, ColorZilla, and a few others) don't correctly recognize their version #s - FF says they "Aren't compatible with Firefox 3.5.5", so I have to hit "Find updates" to make FF apply a "compatibility update". This happens every time I move FF from one computer to another...
