Firefox Portable

Has anyone been able to get Gears to work? By default, the executable will only install for standard Firefox, but this seems like a perfect addon for the portable version.

For those unfamiliar, Gears allows quick download of Google services (gmail, reader etc.) for offline reading. A natural fit, I'd say.

I cannot stop a firefox portable from running in my flashdrive. It blocks me from calling up firefox portable and using it.

Thanks.

Firefox 3 is focused on improved memory handling, performance, and stability, improved XUL, and new core components such as application data stored in SQLite. Firefox 3 could break a few existing extensions and applications built on top of Firefox, and it will definitely include new optimizations if you like to build on the popular browser. Firefox 3 should have additional JavaScript and SVG features if you're into that sort of thing.
As All PreRelease of FireFox 3.0 Alpha its Code Name is also MineField. Its Based on Gecko 1.9 Alpha 5

When FF boots up, I would like to

1. Make the Splash Screen stay up for a shorter time, and

2. Have it load a local file so that it would look like a(n) Excel spread sheet. But more than load an Excel screen shot. I would want the FF top bar, tool bars, and other Windows XP attributes to be similarly disguised so that the effect would be more convincing.

Could you please offer ideas and suggestions?

Thanks!

When I try to install or update any extesion, I bomb out of the installation routine, and am directed to the following msg in the Error Console:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIFile.copyTo]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///E:/FirefoxPortable/App/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js :: anonymous :: line 1281" data: no]
Source File: file:///E:/FirefoxPortable/App/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js
Line: 1281

Any ideas?

Hi to everyone,
I started using Firefox portable with version 2.0.0.1. During all the updates that I did (till current version 2.0.0.4) the partial updates didn't work while the subsequent full updates worked without any problem.
By reading previous messages in forum it seems that the partial updates should work correctly.
Could anyone explain me if there is anything wrong in my installations preventing partial update to run well?
Thank you in advance.

Just thought I'd mention this - I'm not sure whether it's Firefox itself of the portable version.
In the FAQ is says -

Privacy: Does Firefox Portable leave behind any personal data?

A. No.

I have a master password set etc and all should be fine, but my friend just informed me he knows my password (I'd been using Firefox portable on his laptop.) He has a HP laptop, and it has a recovery partition of some sort to backup the data, he said he was rummaging through it and found a text document with the passwords I'd used.

I dont know what is wrong, but as you can see in the link, in IE is shows WMP11 correctly, and in FFP (right picture), shows WMP9,and bad video quality.
I think I have all the plugins in the profile.Could you please help?
Thanks.

FFP themes and extensions work a treat on my home PC but don't work at all on my work PC. While my add-ons tool list them all, none of them can be activated and none can be seen with tools menu or the right-click contextual menu.
I updated the latest versions of everything on my home PC and access the net at work through a proxy server.
What do I have to do to restore MY internet experience?

I had a large (545k) bookmark file in my regular Fx which I wanted to import to my USB stick and edit to remove stuff that I didn't want on the stick.
'import' in Manage Bookmarks in Portable Fx crashed.
Copied bookmarks.html to the stick and fired up portable Fx. As soon as I opened Bookmarks, Fx crashed.
Seems to be a size limit on the Bookmarks file.

found a workaround.
Installed Portable Fx to my HD, fired it up, imported the Bookmarks file OK, editted it down to what I wanted, copied this bookmarks.html (about 250k) to the stick. Works fine.
