Firefox Portable

Obviously, if you read any of a thousand post, there's no such thing as Portable Java but, most computers have Java on them so. I've found (and it may have been suggested before as well) that if you just copy and paste the right files from plugins (and possibly extensions as well) you can usually make java work on a computer that has java but, not IE.

FirefoxPortable 2.0.0.1 is installed on an external hard drive. I do not want it to update automatically to a new version of FirefoxPortable. I also do not want FirefoxPortable to connect to the internet.

First, I have modified several preferences in "about:config" to the following in order to prevent access to the internet:

(I type "about:config" in the address bar and type "proxy" in the "Find" box.)

(Preference Name, Status, Type, Value)
network.proxy.http, user set, string, 1
network.proxy.http_port, user set, integer, 8080
network.proxy.type, user set, integer, 1

I searched around a bit and found that to run multiple instances of firefox, the ini file is to be changed (and put in same directory as the portable exe file). I did this with the following line (changed from "=false" to "=true")

AllowMultipleInstances=true

But this still does not work !!!!!

Any help appreciated.

The ini file change was suggested at

Some information :

Firefox was working fine yesterday. Today when I try to start I get an XULRunner error box that says:
Error:App:Name not specified in application.ini

I was goofing off with my FireFox Portable this morning, and discovered this:
PDF Download.

You have to wait for the page to be converted via the companies' webpage, which kinda stinks, but if you need a PDF conversion in a pinch, it might be worth it.

Just that, I want to sync my Portable Mozilla Apps (Firefox and Thunderbird) with Ubuntu, where I find my profiles there or how can I do it to sync automatically?

Thanks in advance!

I'm using FireFox Portable 3.0.3 and I can't seem to use save or save as. I've tried it on multiple computers all WinXP SP2 (or possibly 3 for some). All the computers are library computers with limited access but, everything else works.

for some reason when I pop open FFP 2.0.0.0.17, it opens 100s of firefox windows and I only clicked once. I've downgraded then upgraded and the issue seems to have corrected itself, but it pops up no and then. I constantly have to upgrade and downgrade my ffp. I haven't upgraded to 3.0.3 since it runs abymsyally slow on my thumbdrive

Firefox Portable automatically imports:
* Bookmarks
* Add-Ons
...from my current Firefox 2 (non-portable) installation.

1) Is there a way of disabling this?
2) Is there a way to get green BACK and FORWARD buttons like the desktop release, not the current blue ones?

Recently updated my firefox portable to the newest version. Since then, I cannot log into or do much within the browser that requires me to click a button.

ie: logging into hotmail, or facebook. enter the name and password..then click enter.. and nothing works.
