Firefox Portable

I installed Firefox Portable but since I normally use third-party builds, the speed difference between the two is very noticeable (more so than just the fact that it's running of a USB thumb drive).

I copied over the contents of my Firefox directory on my desktop into the FirefoxPortable/App/firefox folder on my thumbdrive and it works just fine.

Does anyone know where I might find an en_GB localization of Firefox Portable. I love PortableApps but I use the British English versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, & OpenOffice at home and would like to do likewise at college (where I use PortableApps). Failing that is there some way I can either convert the existing versions of these portables to the en_GB equivalents or make a portable version of the full-sized versions I already use at home?

I just discovered PortableApps tonight and I must say I'm pretty geeked about it. I've downloaded everything I need onto my OCZ Rally 2 4Gig USB drive and now I'm visiting this forum using my new Firefox Portable browser. This is too neat.

My only snag with it so far is I can't seem to port my bookmarks from my Firefox browser installed on my home PC. I have followed the instructions- "Copying Your Local Firefox Settings" -off the Firefox page on the PortableApps site (https://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#local_profile), but so far I have nothing.

I use firefox portable a lot on a usb3 drive
and for some reason when I installed some extensions for it.
In the add ons - It says the extension will work after re start
of firefox, but it still says that after re start ?

Any ideas ?

thanks.

Our company recently added "Blue Coat" security to its network. For those who don't know, it's kind of like "Net Nanny" for employees: It prevents access to many websites the employer thinks you should not be visiting at work.

Anyway, after they did this, my FF portable no longer works! After launching FF as usual from my usb drive, a Windows XP authentication window pops up and requests "Enter User Name" for an unknown url at our facility, and a "Password". This window cannot be closed. I must terminate the FF process.

Any help with this would be appreciated!

i got d message that i have to update. but what version do i got then. your portable version or the larger not portable?

Does not write to the registry but upon uninstalling firefox 1.5 and cleaning all the junk out of my PC I tried firefox portable 2.0-puts folders everywhere(documents and settings/application data - local settings/application data) there are mozilla folders in both places....

My Question is I thought this portable app kept settings within it's own folder?? Not complaining mind you jut wondering....If you were to move it to another PC it would do the same??

Guys

Thanks to John, I'm just getting into the wonderful world of portable apps and have got a nice chunky environment working on my 4GB USB drive. However, in passing, I've just noticed one small possible glitch affecting Firefox Portable and am wondering if it's me being stupid or a real happening.

As we all know, the Location Bar will do a google "I'm Feeling Lucky search" if you type in a URL portion. For example, typing in "digitalspy" takes you directly to www.digitalspy.co.uk. However, when I try this using Portable Firefox, it does not work.

I'm running 2.0.0.4 off a 1gb USB drive and have never had any trouble with it before. This week, I received a new computer at work and now Firefox freezes about every 30-40 seconds. I started from scratch, thinking perhaps the file was damaged, and also took all of the measures to improve performance on the support page.

Do you think it could be my USB drive, or is it something on the new computer?

Thanks for your advice in advance!

Maybe this is a feature....

... but when I shut down Firefox I can still see firefox.exe running. If I disconnect the drive and simulate a shutdown of the computer by killing firefox.exe and the reconnect the USB drive and start up Firefox it gives me the warning that Firefox did not shut down properly and the "Restart session" and "Start new session" buttons.

Why doesn't firefox.exe end when I close PortableFirefox? Is this a bug under Win2k or is it doing this on WinXP as well?.
