Firefox Portable

Some kind of virus is blocking my access to Firefox Portable on my Xp Pro laptop I made it the main Web browser and I did the regular thing of downloading the recent windows updates from the official site then I uninstalled the IE components now it wont allow me to run Firefox web browser when it automatically close's the browser it prompt's a message saying (Use Internet Explorer you dope) then reads (I don't hate Mozilla but use IE or else...) I've got a screen capture if you would like to see what i'm talking about.

I recently updated to Portable FF3 and starting noticing a performance degradation and get the following message:

"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: file:///W:/PortableApps/FirefoxPortable/Data/profile/extensions/%7B73a6fe31-595d-460b-a920-fcc0f8843232%7D/components/noscriptService.js:5121"

What if I use Firefox 3 Portable and Firefox 2 Portable at the same time? Will they be able to work independently from each other at the same time? Is that possible? Anybody of you ever tried this? I know that 2 instances of the same version can not work at the same time. But what if I use 2 different versions at the same time? Would they work properly?

I use to experience this on 2x of FF Portable, and it is still there (albeit more so) in FF3.
Anyway, I have FF set to clear private data on exit, but about 50% of the time, after the Clear Private Data dialog box appears after closing the browser; and I choose "clear private data", the window just sits there for about 30 sec., it will eventually close, but after re-opening the browser, the clear private data window will appear like I ended task on FF Portable (which I hadn't), and FF actually didn't clear anything. After then choosing clear private data FF Portable will open.

we have Firefox Portable 3 in all windows 2003 server we have allow users to use it when they remote desktop in. we found a bug, when one person (session) starts the firefox, another person (session) in the same machine won't be able to start it up.

error message:
Firefox is already running, but is nto responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing firefox process, or restart your system.

thanks!

I'm more then sure this issue has been answered a 100+ times so here goes

I updated ff3 over the top of ff2.x and tried to update the add-ons/themes. Noticed that once I closed the browser, all the updates (both add-ons and themes) were basically rolled back to before they were updated. Without being updated, nun of the add-ons and/or themes worked with ff3.

Also tried downloading a fresh copy of ff3 portable, without any luck. Tried installing the FoxyTunes 3.0.2 add-on and once the browser was closed, the add-on vanished.

Hi guys,

I am using FF3 portable ... brilliant ...

But one question, I wanna enable the Recently Closed Tab ... in the History. Can someone help me out?

Best regards,

Bao

hy,

i don't speak well english, sorry for my errors...

after runing a portable application, the process of the launcher(example FirefoxPortable.exe) stay in taskmgr and consumes unnecessarily memory.
is there a parameter who kills it automatically ?

THANKS

So how should I start FF3P with safe mode. The following two methods did not work:

FirefoxPortable.exe -safe-mode
firefox.exe -safe-mode

My new flash drive has great read but abysmal write speed. To the point that running portable apps can be very very slow at times. So I fired up FileMon to see where most of the write activity was coming from in the hopes of then curbing it. Among other things I noticed FirefoxPortable.exe (from the latest 3.0, launcher version 1.5.14.0) is constantly looking for :\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\PSAPI.dll As in several times per second.

I copied in the latest verion of PSAPI.dll to see what would happen, and now FFP is opening PSAPI.dll for read several times per second.
