Firefox Portable

I've been using PortableFireFox for some time now... but today when i launch'd it all my personal data (bookmarks, saved passwords and so on) was gone... all my extensions was there but was set to default...

What happend??? i've found a backup of my bookmarks in .\Data\profile\bookmarkbackups but where can i find my passwords?

I'm using FireFox 2.0b1 and version 1.1.4.1 of the launcher...
(i use this version because it can load with no problems, when i use the local installed FireFox...

I have a copy of Portable FireFox that I copied off of my USB drive and saved on the desktop of my work PC. So, when I search the internet I am using Portable Firefox but running it off a computer (as opposed to a portable device).

My question: Has any of my personal data been left behind on my work computer?

Hi,

yesterday I used FirefoxPortable to search the internet for some information. Then while I left the computer for a few minutes and my wife opened a new Firefox window using the quickstart icon of a local Firefox 1.5 installation to browse the net.

hi,
i arrange my FF so that all the frequently used book marks and the search engine are close in one tool bar so that i can save space in the screen and it has been very handy, but in the recent updates firefox does not like to do this , and the icons are
large and they keep changing even if i choose small icons only, and even after i arrange the view according to my wish by he next login everything has changed.
any ideas please.

Hi Everyone,

I've never had a problem with Portable FF until now. I installed it on my portable HDD, and everytime I attempt to run FF, it gives me the read/write error. As far as I'm aware the directories are writable, but it doesn't work for me, if I copy the portable FF directory to a different location on the portable HDD it appears to work, although the plugins/addons I had installed are now NOT installed anymore.

I'm also unable to remove the portable FF directories from the HDD.

Before it was working okay until I got some spyware onto the computer. When trying to download something you can't tell where to save the file for the download to start. If set automatically to save to desktop then will download.

Hi,

I just downloaded FFP and i tried following the directions to copy my local Firefox settings to FFP, but i couldn't get it to work. If someone could please help me with this i would really appreciate it.

did anyone try to listen a flatcast radio ? ( www.flatcast.com ) there's a setup file for mozilla, it's said to run file and restart firefox . i did it times n times.. firefox still says "missed plugin". they say , it's working with FF. so is the problem with portable one ?

I'm new to using flash drives. Just for the heck of it I bought a Keystone 1Gb USB 2.O and installed Firefox Portable. Everything was fine. I had a carbon copy of my regular FF. That is until I installed the onFocus Reload add-on. On restarting FF the browser freezes immediately after opening, with this message in a box: ! [object Event]. I know how to deal with unruly add-ons by starting FF in Safe Mode to disable/remove, but I don't see any way to do it with Portable.

Any Ideas?

This post is not about FFP as a 'false positive' by A/V software due to the launcher's behaviour, rather about "firefox.exe" being included in a company's A/V blacklist.

Until recently I happily used FFP on my work computer. Recently my employer has included Firefox in a blacklist of its A/V SW. When trying to run FFP now, a Virus-Warning mesage will appear, then the A/W SW will delete firefox.exe from my removable drive.
