Firefox Portable

Umm...
i LOVE all things portable apps and all, but why is it that the download for firefox 3 is 8.0 mb for the portable version, but only 7.1 for the pc version? Does the PC version compress better perhaps?

Please make a full backup copy of your Firefox 2 installation.
Edit:I.E. Do not upgrade your One and Only copy of your Perfectly Configured FF2P
You know, the one you spent hundreds of hours tweaking and perfecting

Many things may get screwed up by the upgrade to FF3 that are beyond our control.
I'm thinking here of Add-ons/extensions that won't work properly till they are updated.

If you find that you have Add-ons that are not ready for FF3 they will be disabled.

I loaded firefox onto a cd by dragging it from my mac mini desktop, but then it it wouldn't run from the cd. Nor would any of the portable programs I put on the cd...such as portable camino, or vlc. Says they can't can be started on a "locked volume". Can anyone tell what went wrong? Maybe they had to be configured before being put on disk. What is this locked volume thing? I called Apple and they couldn't figure it out, and actually told me to find out from this board, and then let them know.

so there it is..a question by me, but also the mighty team at apple.

There is a readme.txt file that explains how to configure the profile.ini file for firefoxportable. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anybody can tell me where to get it?
I can't figure out how to configure firefox to run athe inex.html file on a cd it will be on.

Thanks

I want to run a website from a cd with firefox portable as the browser...thus I don't want user's native browser to pop up. I want fireox to open to the index.html on that cd. How can I set Firefox to do so? I am trying to set the default web page that will be on the cd but don't know how to do so.

Help, please.

Thanks in advance.

BTW...what will portable Firefos do about setting up a cache for itself if it is run from a cd?

How can bookmarks be inported/exported in the lates 3 version ?

In Firefox 2.0.0.0.14 can bookmarks be imported/exported as file.

Do not see this in Firefox 3.0.5.

Or is it me, who do not understand how?

Well, I just wonder if it is possible to "test" such "masked" things in Firefox Portable (and ONLY in Portable).

I like to make a joke with friends. Pretend that I write from a address in China or USA.

(Not for anything criminal) Believe me or not

But I do not want my PC to be slow or funny-working.

And I have no knowledge with these things

So do you know of some "fake" programs, who work in Firefox Portable?

Yes. Strange Quistion. I admit that!

I have Firefox 3 rc 2 installed and I use bookmarks toolbar for my rss feeds. I have PortableApps.com, Lifehacker and Firefoxes updated add-ons page bookmarked as rss feeds. The Firefox site and Lifehacker site rss feeds update daily, but the PortableApps feeds do not. My feed shows VLC portable 0.8.6h, as the latest app to be updated on the site. This was the feed shown, when I updated to rc 2 from rc 1. LBreakout, and the Sourceforge nomination haven't came up yet. Is this a problem with my FF 3 or with the webpage, how do I correct it?

Hello everyone,

I am a daily user of the PortableApps platform, and I was wondering if it was possible to somehow use ClamWin Portable to scan downloaded files from Mozilla Firefox Portable.

I know there is no possibility to do so in a vanilla Mozilla Firefox installation, but there is an extension called "Download Statusbar" which has an anti-virus command-line capability after each download.

I was wondering

Hello, I am using FF portable 2.0.0.12.
I was cruising the web and just as I finished it said that updates,
were downloaded, I didn't want to let it install, so I told it no or later, I clicked an X if it was available I can't remember that.
BUT, after that it said it would install the next time FF was
started.
How can I delete the file/S that were downloaded so i can do it
myself ?...before I start FF.

I also checked my settings before I shut down, and it was not
suppose to download, it was only suppse to "ask me" what to do.

I don't and never have had a "Local" copy of FF.
