Firefox Portable

I am behind a proxy that requires authentication, and under 2.0.0.1 all was working fine. After upgrading to 2.0.0.3 when I start portable firefox I get a proxy authentication dialog that is half empty - the OK and Cancel buttons are there but with no text in them, and clicking on them does nothing. Sometimes the dialog is missing all of the text entirely. Pressing Enter or Esc do nothing - all I can do is close the dialog, at which point it just reopens (again and again, I have closed it over 30 times and it still reopens).

I use FFP off a USB drive at work and have for quite awhile. Work is the only place I use it. When FF wants to update, it's done at work.

I was in the Add/Remove Programs and was surprised to see FF 2.0.0.3 listed there. I verified that I did not have a locally installed copy of FF, shut down FFP, removed my flash drive and then started the uninstall. Sure enough I got an error that it couldn't find the uninstall and gave a path to the location on my (removed) flash drive. I let XP remove the uninstall entry and all is well.

Hello,
I am a big fan of portable firefox. However, I found that there is a problem. When I tried to check the history of the webpages which I have surfed, I always found that the history shown in the sidebar is completely empty.
I am wondering that maybe portable firefox does not have this funciton. That should be fine as well. I do not know if there is a plugin or something which can keep the history for me? Hope sb can give me an answer. Thanks.

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

The cache size on my Firefox Portable 2.0.0.3 resets itself to 78.5mb every now and then, despite me setting it to 50mb each time.

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.
