Firefox Portable

I have an idea that I've been throwing around since learning that Firefox 3 scans downloaded files ( http://www.ghacks.net/2008/06/04/disable-automatic-virus-scanning-in-fir... ), using locally installed virus scanning software... that is, is there a way to change that setting in order to stipulate that Firefox Portable use ClamWin Portable instead? This way, Firefox Portable 3 would still be entirely portable, instead of relying on software (virus scanner) installed on the local machine.

I'm looking for an option or lightweight extension that will cause any url typed in the address bar to open in a new tab. I used to use Tabbrowser Preferences to accomplish this, but it does not support FFP3. Any ideas?

The title says all, Firefox Portable 2 is working slowly on my 4 GB Kingston Flash.
Sometimes it freezes also.
Is it because of low speed of my flash drive?
Or is FFP 3RC2 as slow as FFP 2?

Thanks.

I could not run FF3portable in D:\!MYTOOLS\FirefoxPortable3
works fine in D:\mytools\FirefoxPortable3
What could be the problem?

Hello

I sew on Compatibility page that there is a problem with XUL-Based apps (Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Nvu) with fonts. There is a solution to this problem, and it doesn't affect theses applications on Windows or Themes.

Open PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\Profile\chrome\ . If there isn't file nammed userChrome.css, create a copy of the file UserChrome-Exemple.css and rename it UserChrome.css. Open it with a notepad and add at the end of file theses lines :

* {
font-family: "Tahoma", "Sans";
}

I'm a long time Firefox user and I'm thinking of uninstalling Firefox and replacing it with Firefox Portable. The main draw of Firefox Portable is that it requires no installation which is a big plus for me since I've had some issues with Firefox's modification of my registry settings in the past. So, should I go ahead and remove Firefox in favor of Firefox Portable? Or is there some features that Firefox have that the portable version don't? Thanks.

It seems like RC2 has just been one fun discovery after another for me...

In any event, the last few days it has been crashing several times a day - usually when I am selecting a filter or other javascript on a page, but occasionally just when I am on one page and go to my bookmarks to move to another page. Just me being lucky?

My addons (in case that's the problem) are AdBlockPlus, StumbleUpon and FoxyProxy. All of which were updated and supposedly are FF3 compatible.

Appreciate any help. I am submitting the crash reports, but figured I'd check here just in case.

This comment was just posted on my blog, and is identical to my own experience using both Firefox 3 and Portable 3

"I had the beta version and it eliminated the memory issues on all versions but then it did its upgrade to the current version and the memory problem came back. I had to delete version 2 and reinstall fresh. Not sure why, but now my version 3 still has the memory issue even after reinstalling it."

... when trying to change options to delete personal info...
Do someone else have this issue?

The error when double clicking the Firefox_Portable_3.0_RC2_de.paf.exe file is

Error launching Installer

Same error when install over the portableApps Menu.

The English version works well.
I use on a Korean Windows Xp Home with SP3.
