Firefox Portable

I copied my firefox profile to portable firefox and now i cannot get any of the extensions to work when i load portable firefox on my jumpdrive. i can, however, get everything to work if i copy the whole portable firefox folder to a harddrive and run the program from there. on the umpdrive, firefox either doesn't open or opens with no extensions usable. does anyone have any suggestions or must i copy portablefirefox to and from a computer each time i use it? could it be my jumpdrive? it's only 64mb and kind of old. i don't think that should be an issue though. thanks

I am using a portable Hard Drive, which has both Firefox and Thunderbird on it. They are installed in their reprected folders. (/program files/Firefox & /program files/Thunderbird)

I was wondering if there is a way to link the mail icon on the portable Firefox to link to the Thunderbird e-mail software, rather than the default one of the pc I am working on.

Thanks in advance.

On Portable Firefox Live page, it says a brand new version is coming soon. May I ask if the new version will support running firefox directory from the readonly media, or still copy it to a temp directory and run from there?

Thank you.

I apologize if this is already stated - but are we able to do this? I tried to install flash from the portableapps.com site - and it did not work....

Where can I found the DOM Inspector in 1.5.0.3?

In the 'PORTABLEFIREFOX.INI CONFIGURATION' section, the example .ini reads:

[PortableFirefox]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDrectory=Data\profile
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
UserProfileDirectory=Data\userprofile
AdditionalParameters=
AllowMultipleInstances=false
SkipChromeFix=false
SkipCompregFix=false
WaitForFirefox=false
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
DisableSplashScreen=false
LocalHomepage=

Edit, 10 minutes later: Turns out that "Mozilla/Netscape" is not checked in the Java console, and I don't have permissions to change it, so it won't work for me on this computer. Oh well.

I have a working Sun Java VM on my work machine; java -version shows the following:

java version "1.5.0_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

and Java apps work in IE.

about:plugins in PFF shows 7 different Java plugins all enabled. Rather than posting all 7 grids I'll just put the names here:

Just in case anyone was wanting to try out the new beta of Firefox 2, here's how to make it portable.

If you would like to leave your current version unharmed, just make a copy of the Portable Firefox folder and call it something like PortableFirefox2.

To install the Beta:
1. go to the Mozilla FTP site, http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/bonecho-beta1-can...
and download the .zip version.

2. Unzip the file to the PortableFirefox (or PortableFirefox2) folder. If you're asked about overwriting files, click "yes".

Now you can use the portable Firefox launcher as you normally would to open the Beta.

Hi,
i found that the latest version of Portable Firefox Launcher would cause "invalid page fault" in Windows 98 SE. i'm not sure whether this error only occurs on my computer or not.

But later, i found out that this error doesn't occur if i turn "DisableSplashScreen" to "true". After a little try, i know that it may caused by the "PNG Format".

i found out that if the format of the splash image is PNG, then it would cause "invalid page fault" in Windows 98 SE. But if the format of the splash image is BMP, it works fine.

i hope the future release of Portable Firefox Launcher would use BMP as the splash image format. In that way, Portable Firefox won't got "invalid page fault" from some version of Windows 98 SE.

I have been using & enjoying the portable apps (thanks John for the great work - my laptop has been replaced by a USB drive when I travel!)- all was going fine until I tried to launch my PFF 1.5.0.3. PFF never goes to my home page instead PFF tries to upgrade itself to 1.5.0.4 but fails to do so automatically. Then PFF attempts to d/l and install the FF 1.5.0.4 onto my thumb drive.
Is there a way to disable the automatic upgrade checker on my PFF? or am up the ole effluent creek in a leaky boat?
