Firefox Portable

This would basically be portable Firefox built for express use in a work environment that actively prohibits the use of Firefox (or any "unauthorized" software). it would come pre-installed with the user agent switcher extension (which would default to internet explorer's UA string), the internet explorer skin and icons (details on how to make firefox look like internet explorer here). being portable, firefox would already be undetectable for snoopy IT admins browsing your profile.

what else would it need to be com

After the update to FFP 1.5.0.7 (copied over the previous version) the "DisableSplashScreen=true" no more seems to work. The FFP.ini is in the proper location, in the root directory, next to FFP.exe.

(Apart from that: just noticed, while checking the forum's "preview" pane, that this post here was submitted by me "on December 31, 1969".)

Running PFF from CD, with directory structure:

AUTORUN.INF (custom, runs FirefoxPortable.exe)
FirefoxPortable.ini
FirefoxPortable.exe
FirefoxPortable
  index.htm (custom start page)
  help.html
  App
  Other
  Data

PFF seems to ignore FirefoxPortable.ini (when running from either a local folder or CD).

I've read the readme. What might be wrong here?

Does anyone have an idea about how to get portable Firefox to integrate with the GigaGet downloader? When trying to make it the default downloader for Firefox, Gigaget only searches for the firefox.exe file and wont recognise portableFirefox.exe??

I am unable to see background images on my website, maybe others, using portable Firefox. Please Advise

from my existing pff into the new one to keep things like extensions, bookmarks etc.

(I guess this would appy for each occasion where the new version isn't "upgraded" but is a new install)

I downloaded Java form http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
chose manual install and change it to L:\Program Files\FirefoxPortable\Apps\firefox\plugins It installed and runs fine on my home comp but as soon as i try it in College it says that the plugin is not installed.
In College the Drive letter is E:\ not L:\ could that have any effect on java?
is so any suggestions? also i cant install Java from College couse i dont have Admin privleges.

Hello ,

Our Institute for Quality Development in Schools (IQSH), Schleswig-Holstein plans to distribute a free portable software collection for teachers and pupils. This collection will include a lot of free/Open Source software which is pre-configured for our teachers and pupils in Northern Germany.

We ask you kindly if it’s ok to place the latest version of Thunderbird and Firefox (in a pre-configured form) in this package on our servers for public download. Of course we would place a link to your official homepage and a big “Thank You”.

Pre-configured just means: Germann Language and some bookmarks in Firefox.

In Firefox it is possible to set multiple homepages using the | symbol. It is also possible to allow a user to have multiple homepages stored locally using this setting. Firefox Portable however currently only loads one local homepage, the rest it interperates as an http: address. Just a small gripe there's probably just a handful of users that would use multiple tiddly wikis' and whatnot.

First of all, I think this portable firefox is a good software for many of us.

I know we are allowed to update firefox, but are we allowed to install any extension, themes to our portable firefox as well? Thanks.
