Firefox Portable

Because I didn't use it as much as thought I would, I decided to remove the Portable Apps Suite "container" from my USB drive and simply keep the portable programs I use the most.

Therefore, I pulled my entire "FireFoxPortable" folder to the desktop, removed the Portable Apps Suite by formatting my USB drive, and promptly dragged the FireFoxPortable folder back to my USB drive.

I thought that, since it's the exact same folder I have been using for months, that my profile, bookmarks, extensions, Greasemonkey scripts, etc. would all work the same as before.

Is it OK to install extensions and still keep Firefox portable?

I checked the FAQ but it didn't answer my question. My family does not want any exe file changing the registry so I installed Firefox portable on the USB drive and it works really well thank you! But I want to install a few extensions from mozilla's add-on list too, would that keep Firefox portable?

Why portablefirtefox open 4 ports (1605, 1606, 1607, 1608 ) and now conects to some web sites?

Until now this ports where localhost but now the get sites.

Is there a way to make .rm and .ram real media files play without downloading? Some do, but they have an address to a server, not the file. When it's just a file link, it downloads first.

I read in the forum that somone had a problem with installing the shockwave plugin without administrator rights, same here
Sorry, but the thread was closed so I created a new one...

Do this:
* Download the shockwave installer (.exe)
* Extract it using unpackingsoftware, such as WinRar or TugZip.
* copy the files into the firefox plugin directory (same as for flash above). No subdir is allowed, just dump all of it in the plugin-directory.
* restart firefox

Tested it with a random shockwavegame and it worked!

just came to know about portable apps and firefox. at work its very restricted can someone tell where to start from so i can access internet at work.
thanks

I realize that it's posted on the main support page that no Java portable is listed as a known issue for Firefox Portable, but now that there is a portable form of Java installed for the new OpenOffice.org, is there a way to have Firefox Portable point to that version instead of having to rely on a local copy? Or is that something that is still in the works?

This flirts with being "off topic", but I looked at the Off Topic forum and those items were WAY off topic. So here goes ... don't bother flaming me if you think this is ridiculous, everybody ... save your breath and your energy for a fight that really matters.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a BlackBerry Curve as my next mobile phone / etc. device.

I can´t log in to my personal Google account (www.google.com/ig), just getting "time out" errors. I am behind a proxy in my company, but logging in to iGoogle with my default browswer (Explorer6) works fine. I don´t receive any specific error messages, just that "time-out". I configured all cookies to be accepted by default.All other webpages can be reached without problems.

I read on this site that it is recommended to disable Saving Passwords in Portable Firefox. Is this just for security reasons or is it somehow more harmful to the flash drive to have that enabled? I currently have disk cache and history disabled, but I'd like to enable saving passwords if it won't harm anything.
