Firefox Portable

I work in a company where they don't allow us to use other browsers besides IE.
Is there a way i can stop Portable Firefox from being tracked by the guys from IT and the proxy?
I changed the skin (it looks 99% like IE, besides the different menus), renamed the proces so it should show up as IEXPLORE.EXE
What else can i do so that the IT team does not track me down using Firefox?
Thanks in advance

I always thought that besides the location of the profile folder and the launcher as well as some different default settings, Firefox Portable is the same as the non-portable version of Firefox.

Can you tell me whether there are any other significant differences?

I ask this because I am having a problem with an extension. I don't get a drop-down list in this extension where I am supposed to get one. But with the non-portable version of Firefox it does work. So, I wonder what difference could be responsible for this problem.

hi, this is my first post.
i want to know if it is possible that spyware blaster can find firefox portable in my pc, because now it says that is not detected.tnx

in previous versions, it was possible to disable the splash screen, but not with the last update. Or am I wrong? How can I disable the splash screen? Thanks!

Every single extension I installed so far worked flawlessly with Firefox Portable, but now there is one extension that does not.

It is the Diigo Firefox toolbar extension and it works *almost* as it is supposed to. There is just one drop-down list in a pop-up window that just doesn't show when I click on the little downward arrow to the left of the entry field. Clicking there does nothing, nothing happens. However, in the non-portable version of Firefox the drop-down list does show (same version number for portable and non-portable version of Firefox).

So, I now wonder what this could be due to?

I just started using Firefox Portable. I knew that I need Java, so I downloaded it with IE. In Firefox Portable, I'm getting a LOT of pages that are loading with more than half of it in code. Don't know much about it to know if it's HTML or something else. For example, on the side of this page, the Sponsored links show up as:
(well, I tried copying/pasting, but it doesn't look the same pasted as when I copied it)--so here it is manually:

I just started using Firefox Portable (cross-platform version). I will mainly be using the Portable version on my XP at work. I copied over my current profile (from my Mac) onto the flashdrive also. Now I can't figure out how to get it to choose/use my old profile instead of the new one that opens on the first start. In regular Firefox, they talk about going into Profilemanager, but I can't seem to find that in the Portable folder.

Can anyone help me out?

Hi,

there seems to be a bug regarding "PortableFirefox.ini".

Setting the variable "UserProfileDirectory" to a directory has no effect. On the other hand, if you define an "AppDataDirectory" everything works fine.

Unfortunately, the variable "AppDataDirectory" is not mentioned in the file "Readme.txt" (any more).

Since upgrading to this latest version it hangs about every 10 seconds. While hanging it is reading from my USB device (there is a light on it). Didn't have this on older versions. Any ideas?

I've tried with a few browsers:
Opera
FireFox (standard)
Internet Explorer (that horrible thing...)

All work fine reading "visited" CSS colour links.

Example:
body a:hover {
color: #FFF; text-decoration: none;
}
^^ That works fine

body a:visited {
color: #112233; text-decoration: none;
}
^^ Portable FireFox doesn't read this, or atleast not on any of the pages I've tried, whereas standard FireFox does, don't supose anyone could enlighten me on this predicament could they?
