Firefox Portable

After the latest automatic upgrade (around March 25-26/08), I can no longer use my Firefox. The internet window opens up with a message that my computer can't communicate with my homepage (Yahoo), but it can't communicate with ANY website, no matter which one I choose. What's happening? Oh, I'm writing from my work computer right now, and that lousy update just loaded itself up and will finish doing its damage the next time I start up Firefox, which means I won't be able to use it here anymore either! HELP! What do I do to get my Firefox back?

Up to and including Fx Portable 2.0.0.12, when I started it, FirefoxPortable.exe would load firefox.exe and then terminate. Now, after my first install using Fx Portable 2.0.0.13, FirefoxPortable.exe does not terminate and establishes firefox.exe as a daughter process. (Thunderbird Portable has worked like this for some time now, so it's not a totally new experience.)

Why the change? What's the benefit?

(I did a cursory search for something on this, but didn't find anything. If I missed it... sorry.)

Thanks.

While looking through forums,I read about a problem I also have with my usb protable firefox.I have a developed firefox,bookmarks,plugins,add ons, theme etc.Lot of time. Exit mozilla firefox,remove safely usb. Later plug in usb start mozilla firefox,only to see that nothing remains of my development. Profile setting all erased,or not remembered. FF2.0.1.3,the most recent. I have more than one usb with fire fox,I do not want the up date if this is what is going to happen. There is no stopping the up date.It is automatic,which I think is a mistake.

Good morning or evening to some of you.

I been using Firefox portable on my usb key Corsair or OCZ.

Lately I have notice that their a huge problem that I am getting with Firefox profile.

Everytime I would load Firefox from my usb key, it would load like I just install from fresh. I would see the license agreement and Firefox would load up and everything I have is GONE!

ADDONS, Bookmarks and settings all are gone! I check in the \FirefoxPortable\Data\profile and it has no past history of any sign of my own profile.

I run Firefox Portable off of my USB drive, which sometimes has a loose connection. So, occasionally when I'm browsing, Firefox will just crash. I'll check the drive, find that it's not connected, reconnect it, and continue browsing--but it is still a problem.

I am wondering if there is a way to change this in about:config so that instead of crashing, Firefox can let me know that it can't access its files, then I can reconnect it. Or maybe this is an update that I can suggest?

Greetings!
It's not a big deal, but looks like my Firefox Portable 2.0.0.12 leaves folder in %HomeDrive%%HomePath%\Application Data\Mozilla\Extensions\{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}

As I understand this ID means "Theme" (at least I found it in every theme)
Also with Flash Player 9.0.115 it leaves file with some related stuff in similar place somewhere in .\Application Data\Mozilla\ but this file disappears sometimes, so I'm not able to tell right now what was there...

Similarly I found .\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash reports\ with two files:

InstallTime2008030714

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.
