Firefox Portable

Firefox default homepage

Submitted by stewpidasso on April 26, 2007 - 10:39am

Hi all,

I've searched the forums and google for this one and I'm not sure what's going on. I just installed 2.0.0.3 and when I start Firefox portable, the default homepage is "start.com" I've changed this in "tools/options", reset to the default, and even set options to a blank page. I still get start.com. I also have Firefox ver 1.5.0.11 (u3 edition)and it does not have this problem.

Can anyone help me on this?

TIA.

Mike

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...

Privacy concern when running portable fire fox off of hard drive

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,
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.

Read/Write Required Error

Submitted by itsonlybarney on April 23, 2007 - 7:54pm

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.
