Firefox Portable

I have noticed that sometimes, often when changing computers, that FFP3 does not restore my saved tabs. It also sometimes happens when restarting the same machine.

I always save all my tabs when shutting down my machine, but notice that, quite frequently, FFP3 seems to "forget" that I saved the tabs.

If I have more than one browser window open I always make sure that I close the one I don't want saved first.

Can anyone confirm this behavior?

(I use XP SP3 on all my machines.)

Thank you
Paul

Update:

Hola, yo utilizaba el firefox portable de este sitio mientras no tenía mi propia conección de internet pero ahora que la tengo necesito exportartodas las configuraciones a mi firefox que utilizo desde mi pc.
Intenté copiar los archivos de "profile" entre otros a %programfiles%\ff... pero no pude importar las pestañas de marcadores ya que solo se pueden importar y exportar desde el menú y no desde la barra de marcadores.

¿Como puedo exportar todas las configuraciones por completo?, algún *.bat que haga el trabajo? talves algún "copy ... " o lo que sea.

Hi,

I updated to Firefox Portable 3 but have experienced unresponsiveness and sluggish performance. I did some forum reading and disabled sessionstore and anti-phishing but there's still some lag. Think I might go back to the previous version.

I have a Sandisk Titanium usb key and thought this was a good, speedy key. Looks like I was wrong. Can someone recommend a fast key? Thanks

John,

Thank you so much for the FFP2.0.0.15 update.
I, like many I think, do not feel that FF3 is ready for prime time portable use
Because of this FFP3 is even less so
This of course is not your fault.

I think a lot of the posts indicate that it is just too slow for flash drives unless we turn off about every new feature.
In my testing it really does not really seem to add any features that are that great anyway,
unless you count the new 54MB MALWARE protection, but as we have seen this is problematic for flash drives and modems.

Hello,
i want to know, if is possible to install the firefox a second one or is it possible to use 2 profiles ???
I need this because i was in two different networks.
Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to have Firefox 3 use a local html file for my home page and (B) use a relative address so that it always finds it on my flash drive?

Hello, here I am again after a while without any problems...

I use FF3 portable (great!) for 3 weeks now and have a problem with my big bookmark list (3000 and more). In FF2 I tagged all my bookmarks using the addon "enhanced bookmark search". I used the field "keywords" and not the field "tags" to assign my search words. This addon doesn't work in FF3, so I can't search in my list now, because FF3 only allows to search by tags, I understood.

So I have a few questions:

1. Is it possible to get all my keywords copied or tranferred to the tag-field?

Ok I would like to know if I am able to have in instances of Firefox on my Portable Apps Platform?

I already have FF2 on it and would like to put FF3 on it. There are a few add-on's that FF3 still dosen't have so that is why I still FF2 around.

I have no intention of running both at the same time either.

I am still using FF2 because some of my extensions don't work well or at all with FF3. Will you be updating FF2 any more?

I use Mozilla products. (Firefox and Thunderbird) but their portable versions so i can have everything gathered to a folder.

Anyway what i would like to know is what affects portability,in case i decide to take them on flash drive and use them on an internet cafe.

For example I've set them both as default programs.Firefox for browsing and Thunderbird for mail.Is that information stored on the programs or is there a record made in the registry for the portable instances?
