Firefox Portable

I'm setting up a new Firefox Poratable app on a flash drive and want to make sure that I do so correctly using a local profile other than the default.

Using the instructions on the site, I determined where to look for the Local Profile and found as I suspected two. One of course is called the Default and the other is one which I'll call "Enhanced Basic". I tried copying this profile previously into another flash drive but it did not appear to take.

My Firefox add-ons (extensions and themes) have disappeared from the browser. They are all still listed as installed in the add-ons box under the Tools menu, but none of them are usable. All of my bookmarks are present, so I don't think I've completed deleted my profile. Any ideas? Thanks.

I think Firefox portable would be a lot faster if it had the option to use a directory of the current computer for the cache, for example, %TEMP%\FirefoxPortable. This folder would be deleted after Firefox was closed.

HI

I put in a USB stick, Portable Firefox 3.xx.

I started Windows PE 2.1, suitable to work with 64-bit operating systems, and I tried to start Firefox Portable writing, from the directory of that program, the command FirefoxPortable.exe but the shell of Windows PE writes "Could not execute the specified program ". Why?

THANKS

BYE

Hi,

Im using FF portable 3.0.7, and the newest version (3.x) normally installed on HDD.

If i export the bookmarks normally as .json file from the HDD-FF, and then import them into the the portable one with Bookmarks-manager -> import -> restore... then after a restart the bookmarks are gone again.

Why is that? I found a posting here saying u can do it with the portable app suite, which i actually don't use right now, cause i only need like 3 PortableApps on my stick.

Whats the best way to do it? With the suite only?

When I type in the search window in the toolbar and then press return nothing is happening. Very strange!

Is there any specific file i can copy and paste that holds all my stored passwords so that when i get the regular version of Firefox, i don't have to input my passwords on every site, just copy and paste the file into the new firefox?

In the past, I used a batch file with XCOPY to keep copies of my Port FFox folder, on different thumb drives, synchronized.
I am now using Robocopy which deletes files not in the source.

However, I am sure due to old files not being deleted, when I load Port FFOX, I get asked for the master PW 3 times.
It appears as if there are, on the screen, 3 copies of the PW dialog.

Any suggestions for would be appreciated.

After removing malware ("Internet Antivirus Pro") from a friend's computer (XP SP3), the winsock catalog reported errors, which I understand is not uncommon. I've run half a dozen repair utilities, followed the manual instructions from Microsoft and third-party sites, and spent about six hours researching.

IE7, IE8, and FF3 are all unable to access HTTP (although HTTPS and FTP work), but Firefox Mobile runs just fine.

Does this indicate any kind of next step to anyone? What about Mobile bypasses the error?

Thanks,

I backed up my Firefox portable 2.0 folder to firefox.rar ( the archive is not broken )

I formatted my OS, installed XP again, extracted files & launched firefox. But none of my addons work suddenly. They all look like on this image: Yet they should be all green & working, cuz after I zipped it up I extracted & made sure everything was working.

I cant uninstall, change options, disable enable any addon, Firefox is freezing up if you try to change any addon options.
