Firefox Portable

Hi,

I'm under windows with firefox 3 rc2 installed. I installed the simple mail add-on (http://tinyurl.com/yrqzyo) for my user and I can't find where the extension is installed. Firefox is installed in the c:\firefox3 and I can't find simple mail add-on in C:\firefox3\Data.

Can anybody help me ?

Regards.

So a long time ago I had FF2 installed on my computer, and then I saw the portable test version of FF3, back in beta 2. I thought it looked cool, wanted to try it out, but didn't want to destroy my FF2 just in case, so I installed the portable version, started completely fresh (didn't bring over the bookmarks or anything; they tend to clutter), and never looked back.

Hi,

I'm not being able to customize the program settings of Firefox Portable (2.0.0.14).

Even changing the default startup homepage (I normally disable that and choose "Show a blank page"), is not being saved.

Anything I change is lost when I close the program, is this the expected behavior?

Regards,
Ricardo

I'm hoping that someone here can help me. I've been using Firefox 3 Portable at work. Recently the automatic update triggered, and firefox tried to update. The update failed, and firefox crashed. When I tried to reopen firefox, I get the splash screen, and then the crash message pops up. It does this everytime.

I'm not sure if just my configuration, but to be honest I consider myself a fairly advanced FF user, it's been my main browser for about 4 years. However, after switching to FF3 Portable I noticed it's holding onto cookies, even though I specified in the options to delete cookies when I close FF. Any idea why this is happening?

Will this version be out tomorrow like the regular version of ff3 rc2 non-portable?

Please let me know.

thx

The new firefox3 folder is over 100MB. I knew this seemed huge so I went looking for the culprit. I found a file in /FirefoxPortableTest/Data/profile. The file is urlclassifier3.sqlite and it is 53.6MB. Does anybody know what this file is and why it is so big?

Firefox 2.0.0.14 cannot install extensions.

Whenever I try to install an extension, I always get this error.

Firefox could not install the file at

https://addons.mozilla.org/xxx

because: Unexpected installation error

Is there any more info known about this error?

Hi All,

Has anyone else notice that the RSS feed for portable apps no longer updates itself automatically?

My other rss feeds still work fine, but the portable app one I need to go and manually reload the bookmark.

There does not seem to be any settings that you can set so I guees the next thing to try is to delete it and just add it again manually.

(I installed FFP3 RC1 over my existing FFP v2.14 installation.)

Thanks
Paul

I've been using Portable FF3 since Beta4, all has been working fine. Today I updated to RC1 and lost the ability to install extensions and my existing extensions disappeared. So here's what I did.

1. Backed up my stuff.
2. Deleted all traces of FF from the USB drive and the system. Everything under Docs & Settings\App Data deleted. Everything in the FirefoxPortable folder deleted. All Mozilla related reg entries deleted.
3. Downloaded and installed Portable FF3 RC1 and installed to USB drive.
