Firefox Portable

Firefox has become very slow. I have made fresh install.
Also I have disabled session store, cache and anti-phishing. Atill firefox is freezing momentarily even while changing tab.

I have switched from Opera to firefox only because Opera9.51 was slow. But it is same here also.
Opera used to consume 30 to 40 MB memory but firefox is consuming more than 100MB of RAM.

Could you please tell me how to set firefox3 portable as default browser under vista?
I were able to set under xp with ffp2 previously with DefaultMyFFP http://cubegames.net/downloads/dmffp.php

I have portable and want to use it at school or a local library but it cannot pick up the proxy. How do I change the settings so that it will automatically select the proxy? Please provide full instructions. Thanks

Here is a version of Faster-Fox Extension for Firefox version 3.

After the file is extracted just drag and drop it into the Firefox Add-ons window

I have installed Firefox version 3 on one of my Sandisk USB drives. The problem
is that I installed the PortableApps version on the drive, but it doesn't show
up in the U3 software menu. Does anyone know how to create a shortcut so that the
browser will start through the U3 software, without starting the browser directly
off the drive.

Thanks john {@} antihotmail {.} com

When the drive letter gets changed the addon "Add to Search box" is disabled.
I found this in earlier post but didn's get any clue what to do?
Also I wanted to ask whether any addons are not portable??
Also which download manager or addon should I use to speed up donloads without any problems of portability

I've been using Firefox Portable not only on my pendrive but also on my PC, so that I don't have to remember to backup it when I'm reinstalling Windows. However there is one major issue with that solution. I set up Firefox Portable as my default browser but if I have it running at the moment other apps cannot open any links because I'm getting "Firefox is already running but is not responding." error. This of course is not the case with standard Firefox installation. Is there a way to get rid of this problem?

The link for 2.0.0.15 is not working.

I gave up on FF3 yesterday and went back to V2.
I was running FF3 on a 4gig Kingston HyperX drive, with everything turned off that has been mentioned in this forum, but I was still having slowdown/freeze problems. I monitored memory usage and it happened whenever FF3 spiked up to about 175,000k, which was often.
FF2 seems to be running about 140,000k consistently with no problems whatsoever.
(If anyone else decides to go back, remember to leave the main FF folder and the Data folder intact; delete everything else).

I'm unsure what caused this, or even if I could reproduce it, but here we go.
