Firefox Portable

hi,

any chance we might start testing a FF portable setup where we could also have minefield the x64 FF version setup to use same personal data and bookmarks?

is there any indication that sharing like that might be possible?

basically my concern is, since we have here a portable FF we might be sometimes on a 32 bit operating system sometimes on 64 bit system, we would need to be able to share the bookmarks, passwords and such for this to make sense...

are there any plans regarding minefield?

For the first time after using Firefox Portable 3 since it came out, Firefox froze up and crashed now and when I try to start it up, I get the Mozilla Crash Reporter telling me that Firefox has crashed, When I press 'Restart Firefox' it starts another Mozilla Crash Reporter instance and Firefox never loads.

I am unable to fix this issue by overwriting Firefox with a new Firefox. I don't want to loose my profile, settings, bookmarks, extensions, history, cookies, passwords..

Please help!

And yes.. I did search and haven't found a resolution.

Hi guys

I know I can simply copy the contents of my portable profile to my pc, and my pc profile to my portable (But I have to delete a portable.ini when I do this right??) but what I wanna check is if in doing so this will will it affect the plugins setup? I mean if I have plugins life quicktime which I think cant yet be made portbale, will it affect my portable profile ie cause it to leave behind registry entries?

Thanks for any help

I installed FF3 on my USB drive and the splash screen gave me the option of clicking a setting that worked well with hard drives/fast USB drives and could be turned off for slow USB drives. It also said it could be turned off later and instructions were on the PortableApps site....which I can't find.

So what is it I turn off for FF3 to run better on slower drives and where do I find it? Thanks from a newbie.

Since I've been having massive problems with FF, I decided to give MozBackup a try. However, it says that I have a corrupt profile. I removed all traces of FF, reinstalled it fresh , and it still says I have a corrupt profile. I tried installing FF on my local drive instead of my USB drive, so I know it's not a USB drive problem. What is going on?

EDIT: I was able to use Toucan to backup my profile, so it's probably a MozBackup issue. Never mind.

I use Firefox 2 on my usb as Firefox 3 is sluggish on my flash drive. But everytime i use it, it starts to download the update for the firefox 3. How can i stop it?

I have recently put FX Portable on one of my machines. It's version 3.0.3. I also have desktop Firefox 2 on this machine. When ever I launch FF3 Portable I get 2 processes in Task Manager. One for Firefox Portable and one that just says Firefox. Firefox Portable is running but not regular Firefox why is this happening?

Hi - is there a URL that will directly download the latest version for a preset language? Something like "https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/Firefox_Portable_3.0.3_de...", but not mentioning the version number, so that it would always get me the latest one?

Thanks for any replies.

When using the normal version of FF3 (or 2) when you click in the address bar, the currently listed URL will highlight as if a select all has been performed in the address bar.

The portable version does not and this has become extremely annoying since the address bar does not act as it should.

Any way to fix this with about:config or another means? Or was this feature removed because the feature was not liked by the "portablers" who put the app together?

Thanks.

I associate PortableFirefox to .URL setting the registry entries as the post: "Problem with .URL ("Internet Shortcut") files"
This works, open the URL and charge my portable profile, but further windows shows a message box that say: "Window cant find the....", but the page has charged.

¿How i cant avoid this message?
