Firefox Portable

Hi,

I use firefox portable latest version (firefox and launcher) with a high speed usb key (corsair flash voyager). When I close firefox, the exe continue to work in the background for 1-2 min and I can't remove my key. I can close it with taskmanager but I think isn't the best way to do... Someone know why firefox still working when I close it ?

Thanks,
Oliparcol

i hope i haven't just overlooked this topic someplace... if i did, mea culpa.

i have used Portable FF 1.5.0.? for a long time to access Yahoo!s mail "beta". i got a spiffy new 2gb USB stick and decided to load the new "suite" package.

i have FF 2.0.? loaded on my laptop and it works with the Yahoo! mail beta site. (and continues to do so...)

Yahoo! whines that i need mozilla 1.7 or later (...and silly me, i figure that FFP 2.0 meets that requirement...) when i use FFP from the suite off of my new USB stick.

I've been runnning FirefoxPortable 1.5.0.9 comfortably for a while now up until yesterday evening.
Today, opening firefox through the firefoxportable.exe, on entering a site either manually or bookmarked firefox just closes, no warning or error report.
Installed another FirefoxPortable folder and copied the App and Data folder from the first one into the new folder, started up, had all my passwords and bookmarks and this worked fine.

Any ideas as to why the previous one started crashing?

I am a student and I 'm trying to use firefox portable at my school, but I don't think I'd get permission to do so. I've used the application to get the port and network name however it still doesn't run when I type in the port (8080) and the network name in Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Configuration(ish). Anybody help.

I have three users on the same PC, and I would like to give each one Firefox Portable. Can one installation of Firefox Portable support 3 different users, each one with their own settings, cache, cookies? Note that multiple users could have FF portable open at the same time, since the PC is Windows XP with fast user switching enabled. Or should I instead install 3 different FF portables, one in each user's own home folder?

Hi.
I cannot see offline pages with this version of firefox.
How can i solve this problem. I browse over the internet at home and then i take my portable hard drive to work to work offline on the pages that i visit at home.
Best regards and keep up the good work

Just Want to know if there is a u3 version of this

Hi!

I'm having trouble with accents, they don't get displayed correctly when I type them. For eg., this should be an e acute: ´´e

I'm using FF 2.0 but this also happened on v1.5.X

I tried to change the character encoding but the results are the same (tried western 8859-1 and 15 and some others from south Europe).

Thanks for any help!

what would it take to change the external (and possibly internal) names of Firefox Portable?

the reason i am asking is that as of today, when i try to load FfP at school, everything loads well, and just as it finishes loading my home page, FfP terminates, i am 99% positive that this is because of some new script that the school has added to the systems, most likely some sort of simple "target and terminate" app that only looks for firefox.exe and the like in the processes list and could be fooled by renaming it, how hard would it be to change it? thank you.

The following extensions are incompatible with Firefox Portable for various reasons:

• Uses hard-coded paths
  • ASpell
  • Flashgot
  • Footiefox
  • Quicknote

This list is in need of improvement. Please post any others below.
