Firefox Portable

It just dawned on me, while the actual Firefox profile manager, I guess, is not portable (I don't see how it's not, but I'll take y'all's word), the launcher can make a portable variation. You could probably get away with making the GUI for it look like Mozilla's.

Here's how it works:

If you just have the folders App, Data, and Other, it works like normal.

The latest install of firefox seems to install ok, and in ABOUT it even says "3.5.4" but when I checked Help/Check for updates, it says:

There were problems checking for updates, firefox could not be updated".

Any ideas what happened?

Concerned about the vulnerabilities I just read about. Do these get addressed fairly quickly on 'our' side?

Thanks for all the hard work!

How can I hide Firefox's "Bookmarks" menu, anyone? Tried the instructions here (http://www.iosart.com/firefox/plainoldfavorites/, see the "Tips" section), but it didn't work, which makes me think that for *portable* Firefox, things might be a little different.

If I have several tabs open, CTRL-+ increases the fonts, etc., on all the tabs, and CRTL-- decreases all of them. Obviously, some pages are going to be fine, some too small, some too big. Is there a setting where I can get it to quit increasing (or decreasing) all of the tabs, i.e., just the tab I'm on at the time?

And is there a way to search just one forum? I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem, but I kept getting results for all the PortableApps.

Thanks

Send Link opens up launches my web based Google account instead of starting Thunderbird Portable. Is there a way to correct this?

Hi Forum! New to PortableApps & FFPortable. I've been trying portable Firefox 3.5.3 - running from system's main hard disk. Works as designed (great!) in Windows 2000, but doesn't in Windows 98 SE (this is a multi-boot system). I have Windows 98 SE with Unicows and Kernelex, and Firefox 3.0.14 runs here correctly (regular installation, non portable).

The portable FF laucher starts and then shuts itself down almost immediately :=(

I want to install Firebug on my USB flash drive into my Firefox Portable installation.

Will this work?

Is there a Firebug Portable somewhere or will the regular Firebug install work with Firefox Portable?

Thanks!

I use Firefox Portable version 3.5.3. If Firefox is not already launched/opened, the following occurs. I click on an embedded link in an email (any program), document, or other source as long as Firefox browser is not running. When Firefox launches, I notice it is does not have my current add-ons, bookmarks, etc. If need any of the missing items, I have to close Firefox, re-start Firefox and click on embedded web link. If Firefox is already running, then this problem never occurs. How can I resolve this issue?

Im running compiled firefox out of runz on ubuntu and KDE platform

But Im triing to ecounter VLC media and no sucess

The RUNZ is HIGHLY BAD!! to run app from portable devices, why requires install frame runz and administrator permissions, ARGH!!!

If you choose portable apps for linux choose compiled, where this, on instalation:

Be a directory: config on integer part of install and maker pc

VLC SMPLayer Mplayer etc. VERY GOOD IF, OUT OF RUNZ!!!

From others HIGHLY BAD...
