Firefox Portable

The security freaks have locked down my workstation to a point where I can't do my job! I tried ff portable live from a cd but got an alert box with an "application metering" message stating that this software was blocked! Any workarounds?

I have the show windows and tabs from last time option selected but it will only load my selected homepage everytime I load PFF3. Does anyone know what may be causing this?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

I was nosing around my USB drive when I noticed that the Firefox portable INI file made this statement:

"The FirefoxExecutable entry allows you to set the Firefox Portable Launcher to use an alternate EXE call to launch firefox. This is helpful if you are using a machine that is set to deny firefox.exe from running. You'll need to rename the firefox.exe file and then enter the name you gave it on the firefoxexecutable= line of the INI."

whenever i click a link on windows (about boxes in programs) it open the firefox program and not firefoxportable.

how can we make them open the firefoxportable with the default settings ? or make firefox.exe (original) look in the profile directory of portable firefox ?

either way, i want to be able to open my links in the portable to retain all my preferences, etc

thanks

You can have multiple portable profiles in three little steps. Still, you won't be able to run them at the same time.

STEP 1 : Create the profiles

The normal architecture of the firefox portable folder is:

-FirefoxPortable
   -App
   -Data
   -Other

You need to create multiple "Data" folders (one for each profile) in firefox portable. You can either keep "Data" as the default folder, or just erase it. You can name the folders as you wish. You can replace profile1, profile2, profile3, by Serious, Naughty, extensionTester if you prefer.

Sometimes I try to get this web www.senavirtual.edu.co, but I get this message on the tab:

My portable version keeps "forgetting" logins on sites. This is not the sites logging me out, but apparently the cookies disappearing.
Is that a known Firefox issue, a portable issue or am i just unlucky?

I am trying to download the portable firefox both ver. 2 and ver. 3 but the damn link takes me to sourceforge and then nothing gets downloaded...neither the direct link is working.

Please advise...I NEED to download the both versions of firefox.

Thanks,

I'm running Firefox Portable, but it doesn't seem to be caching the webpages, which I want. I need the whole webpage stored in history, because I work offline mostly.

I've looked in Options; it lets me change the size of the cache, but I don't see where I can make it save the whole page.

Thank you.

I have installed extensions on this portable app, but now in 3.0.1 they have all disappeared. I'm not certain that moving to 3.x.x effected the loss.

Can someone help?
