Firefox Portable

Just have a quick question. like to use a few portable apps on a partitioned hdd, so when i want to do a fresh install i can leave the portable apps and not have to install them every time.

Well i've just done a fresh install. But when i ran firefox portable all the extensions, cookies and my bookmarks were gone.

And i was just wondering if there's a folder i need to be adding them to so they'll stick, and if i decide to put firefox onto a usb to use on a different PC, those bookmarks and settings will be saved.

Due to a power cut, the PC turned off and files weren't saved on my USB stick (using FF from within a TrueCrypt volume).
When I restarted, ScanDrive had to be run to fix some errors, now the POrtabkleApps menu loads but FF refuses to start, no error messages.
I tried reinstalling and then replacing the old folders but no luck so the problem must be in those files somewhere.
How do I keep the old data and do a reinstall? I have copied the folders: App, Other, and Data
Thanks

Hi, referring to a thread months ago
https://portableapps.com/node/14100
Firefox 3 portable supposedly has more disk writes than firefox 2 portable and is very slow. Have they fixed this yet or is firefox 2 portable still better with less disk writes?

is it possible to run ffp with the main window hidden. i am developing a standalone (sorta) version of cooliris for windows. i want to hide the main window.

Hi
I played around with the searchplugin code in Firefox.
And I create a small PortableApps search plugin for Firefox!

Download the file:

copy the .xml file here:

\Firefox\searchplugins

Have fun!
Maybe someone would like to update this to the official PA version?
M.T

????

i have many bookmarks and passwords, i would like to avoid reinstalling.

thanks for your help!!!

I followed the explanation provided in the "Portable edition support".

"Just copy the contents of that folder (except the cache directories) to the FirefoxPortable\Data\profile directory"

1) I did not find the cache directories
2) I get either FirefoxPortable\Data\settings OR FirefoxPortable\App\DefaultData\settings\profile Is the second directory the right one to copy my local settings?

"delete the file FirefoxPortableSettings.ini within the FirefoxPortable\Data\settings directory"
I got 2 directories with settings:

1) FirefoxPortable\Data\settings

There used to be a command line option for the *.paf.exe file to install silently, without user interaction. This was /S /destination=path\ - where path was the full path to the target directory (which would not be appended with "FirefoxPortable"). This isn't working any more since version 3.0.5 or so. Is this intentional? Otherwise, could the functionality be restored? (There was an old forum thread about this.)

Found a 1-2 year old article on wikiHow, updated it to 2009 specs, posting the wiki page for the community to add to at their discretion.

Hi, if I use an encryption program such as truecrypt or folderlock, and encrypt the firefox portable folder in my USB drive, will firefox portable run slower?
