Firefox Portable

Howdy all,

I just installed portable apps and wanted to find the best way to import all of my bookmarks, add-ons and stored passwords. I want my local machine's settings copied to the portable apps drive if this is possible. Thanks in advance.

Hey folks
I haven't been able to log into www.jooce.com
Think this is prob down to the college proxy,cos I cant get it to work on the locally installed IE7 client either, but the IE7 is not patched to latest flash, so thinking it may just be a flash setting or something.

Much thanks for any help

hello all!

i just downloaded firefox portable and am super excited because i'm on a huge backpacking trip and using tons of unfamiliar browsers and looking up bank accounts and such is a pretty scary thing. this will be the perfect tool!

i'm currently on a friends computer and have downloaded the app. but can't seem to get it to work. the browser opens up but just won't connect to the internet. but i can still surf internet explorer at the same time. what's going on?

i'm on a private home network so there are no firewalls or anything...

How can one get this portable? Is a portable version in the works?
Thanks.

I'm wanting to get my wife to start using Firefox Portable while at work.
She works as a typist and needs just a little help from the built-in dictionary/spell-checker to lower the "errors" she's been getting...

They have a strict policy about installing anything and/or making changes to company computers.

My question is, does FP leave ANYTHING behind (the FAQ only mentions the browser cache), in the registry for example?

Hey All
am using FF 2.0.0.14 portable

have trouble trying to play some streaming windows media files, I just get the old WMP9 interface, correct audio but the moving windows logo in place of the visual.

cant install stuff on local PC so cant install the plugin then copy files.

looked at VLC plugin but didn't understand how to install it to my portable FF.

movies work perfect (well sometimes the colours get inverted) in locally installed IE7.

would prefer to get it working via VLC plugin if pos, cos then would have support for embedded DivX as well

thanks for any help

FF Portable is running fine, and saves settings such as homepage etc... but doesn't seem to want to save (and auto populate) user/pass details.
When installed locally the userid and password for (say) http://pandorafm.real-ity.com get saved and when I go back they're filled in, but in the portable version though they appear when I start typing they don't get pre-filled. Cookies are obviously getting saved though as the Pandora login details themselves are remembered...
Any thoughts?

I was (and currently am) using 2.0.0.13, which works just fine, without any problems, but was getting annoyed with the periodic and relentless reminders to upgrade to 14, so I did.

I just downloaded the new Firefox, Portable Edition 2.0.0.14 to my desktop and ran the installer. It created a folder on my desktop named FirefoxPortable. Opening the folder, I see the FirefoxPortable.exe executable, and when double-clicked, the splash-screen pops up - and then goes away. Firefox doesn't start.

Because some add ons are not fully portable, and there is no list on which ones are and aren't, I would like to know if the following plugins are portable before I add them to my flash drive.

I'd like to set up my PortableApps Firefox toolbar to have the same functionality as my desktop version. In particular, I'd like to have Search Engine add-ons including Marketwatch and Wikipedia.

But when I go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:4/cat:80?sort=name , I can click "Add to Firefox" for MarketWatch, but I get this message:

Firefox could not install the search plugin from "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downlaods/file/25765/marketwatc..." because an engine with the same name already exists.
