Any advice / ideas?

please note, i have not changed any files in the Firefox portable directory, and this error only seems to occur on the college computer system.

FFP leaving '0 KB' files behind in 'Data\profile\Cache', not deleted when 'cache' is cleared from FF

Hey...
I was shocked to find out that FFP is leaving '0 KB' files behind in 'Data\profile\Cache', with the original names. I had 208 of these files laying in there. Then people would be able to see which files I have checked out :(.
Here is a screenshot of the issue: http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/4678/0kbfilesgt9.png . There's both .wmv files and .php files.

i have 2 different folder, which is one is firefox portable only
and the other +plugin

the one with plugin i change the exe into FirefoxPortable + Plugin.exe

both of them i try to run (i often use the +plugin one), and i notice the FirefoxPortable.exe (clean one) and FirefoxPortable + Plugin.exe will disappear and only show firefox.exe at task manager

if i remember correctly since i installed this and after a few days use, it supposed to be show 2 processes at task manager the firefox.exe and the FirefoxPortable + Plugin.exe, for example...

Firefox Portable - Does it leave any trace at all?

Submitted by Mike_Gore on April 15, 2008 - 6:43pm

My question regards Firefox Portable. I am currently using this software from the USB drive (flash disk), and wanted to know if it leaves any trace whatsoever on the machine it is used (whether it be encrypted or unencrypted files, cookies, history, URLs typed on the address bar etc).

When using IE7, if I downloaded a file, what IE7 would do is, it would download the file to the Temperary Internet Folder, and once download is completed it would copy from the TIF location to the saved location. How does this work in Firefox Portable, when downloading files videos?

Images not loading

Recently, some images in some websites quit appearing in Firefox Portable; in Wunderground only the ads appear, in Wikipedia nothing does, most sites are fine. Images were OK until about a week ago, and are fine in regular Firefox and IE. I installed some add-ons about the time this happened, but not simultaneous with this (I don't think); I uninstalled them, the problem persists. I ran the test at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=288184 (I can see only the first image), nothing.
