Firefox Portable

I´m sure this has been asked before, but I am in patgonia ans the internet here is costly and slow for effective searching.

Every time I boot portable FF 1.5, it seems to pick up it´s setting from the installations on the local pc. It resets my homepage, begins auto updating, trashes my bookmarks and all my set options are lost. Also all my forms and history are lost. The last time I used it it updated itself and destroyed my book marks file.

Is there any way to avoid this?

Hello!

I would like to use this Hungarian Spell Checker with Firefox portable:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/23147/hungarian_...

It works with Thunderbird portable, and with Firefox normal version, too-but, it don't work with FF portable. No error message.
What is the problem here?

Thanks

Hello!

My question: why use Firefox portable 40-50, sometimes 60% of my CPU power?
Opera use only 5-10%.

Thanks

Yo!...
I've been testing the Firefox 3 Beta 4 Portable from this site... Then reporting that it has some bugs, I am told that I should try the latest trunk/version. This bug I reported: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424228 and I was told that it was fixed in Firefox 3.0b5pre. Hmm to bad that a portable version is not out of that I thought to myself.

Hello!

I would like to use Orbit Download manager as default download manager with Firefox. But, I use the Portable version of Firefox!
My download manager can't detect the Firefox portable, although I set up the needed option in the Download manager. The IE the Opera are detectable by download manager, and the normal, installed version of Firefox, too.
How can I solve this problem?

Thanks

I've been experimenting with FirefoxPortable run locally and according to my firewall, the firefox.exe it launches tries to connect to portableapps.com every time it starts, although I have set the home page to blank and turned off all the firefox options that would likely result in automatically contacting external servers (e.g. phishing checking, auto update checking). Call me paranoid, but I'm not a big fan of apps that silently "phone home" - can anyone tell me for what purpose the firefox binary launched by FirefoxPortable is trying to contact portableapps.com?

Thanks.

I know there are a billion of the same threads out there and I have read most of them. They are almost all locked. I am very confused and have spent all day trying to change the splash by editing "FirefoxPortable.nsi" with NSIS which I'm not getting very far. I'm asking for lame step-by-step instructions that a idiot could follow. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently using Launchy (The Firefox Add-on) and it just stoped detecting Thunderbird Portable and I don't understand why. It detected everything else. :o I wrote the XML file correctly:Look on Google Docs, I couldn't get it to display properly here. It kept deleting the tags.

Every time I've installed Firefox on a system, it's always had an entry "Get Bookmark Add-ons" at the top of the bookmarks menu. FFP (at least FFP3, anyway--I don't remember about FFP2) doesn't seem to have it...

I've found that often, Firefox Portable (and Thunderbird--probably Sunbird too) stops functioning correctly if its folder is renamed.

What happens is that, after the folder is renamed, the browser won't load any pages, instead giving a blank white page regardless of what you try to navigate to. Deleting the profile folder and letting FF create a new one doesn't help, but if I rename the folder back to what it was when it was installed, it starts working again.
