Firefox Portable

I'm confused.

I can't work out how to control the following, if indeed it can be controlled.

When clicking on a link in a web page, the new page appears either (i) in a new tab or (ii) in the existing tab, replacing the current page, which is then recoverable using BackArrow. Tools -> Options -> Tabs -> bullet "new tab", which is my setting, does not seem to guarantee (i).

I have no idea which of (i) and (ii) is going to happen in any given instance.

Is there a way of always getting behaviour (i)? (Or for that matter always getting behaviour (ii)?)

Hello,

I use portables applications on an usb-disk.
I would use webmail-notifier ( a firefox extension ) for check my mail on differents mailboxes. No problem for installation, when Firefox start, webmail-notifier is also running, the problem is that when You make settings for your mailboxes, I suppose a file containing mailboxname/login/password is created but not stored on the USB-HD.
This setting must be created every time and this is not very usefull...
How to do for keep informations on the USB-HD ?

Thanks to everybody...

Hi,
I've been using the latest version of FF portable 2.0.06 on my laptop from work to avoid "installation permissions" issues.

but I'm having a very strange issue.

when connected to the office lan, everything works perfect.
When connected to the 3G card, after some minutes of browsing, i get a nice BSOD

I've run some tests against memory to clear this item from the "faulty hardware" list in my head, the test is ok.
I've tried the same thing with IE, and the PC does not crash.

i've tested in battery mode and power cable mode.

let me know any tests i can do.

is there possibly any plans of packing this as a portable app?

Hi,

i work every day with the same programs on different computers. So i want to copy them on a stick. Everything is well as long I use the programs on one PC. But sometimes I have to use the Firefox on two PCs. So i shared the usb device to network. But if i have already started it one computer it is locked for the other one with the error message "... an instance is already running". Of course is there a an instance running on the other pc, but can I use it anyway?

My first idea was to activate multiple instances, but this is only for one os envoirement.

Hi, I've been using your version of portable Firefox for some time now. Recently I upgraded PowerDVD on one of my computers, and the installation installed a copy of the google toolbar but because the portable version of firefox was open it tried to install it onto that instead. Now whenever i close portable firefox it deletes the local firefox directory. I have tried re-downloading it and using a fresh copy and I have tried it on other computers with the same results. Now i'm stuck because every computer that has admin rights on it will get it's firefox directory deleted.

This has probably been answered before. But after using Firefox and opening some PDFs in the browser. I then close Forefox... but for some reason adobe seems to be reading from my USB and it won't let me eject my USB drive.

After I end the adobe process I can eject my drive. But otherwise my drive is completely unejectable.

I've had this problem with the current and previous release. When I go to try and startup Firefox Portable it doesn't startup, I check the task manager and it says firefox.exe is running but it doesn't startup.

When performing various actions using Firefox Portable, the program lags behind the actions. For example, when typing into a form, it will occasionally hang and not display any further text entered, and then about 1-2 seconds later, show all the text entered instantly. This behavior also occurs when scrolling through a page, it will hang, and then instantly move to where you've scrolled to. Other examples are:
Cursor not changing when hovering over a link or text
Outline of navigation buttons (back, home, etc) not appearing when hovering

to get access to my work email everyware i need to use secure webmail(HTTPS) with digital certificate from my company.

which browser have HTTPS support and can import or install the digital certificate on it???(i have also copy of digital certificate)

i need to install it on my USB pen so i can read my email from every PC.

is firefox can do that ? please let me know.
