Firefox Portable

Is there any way to disable the automatic bookmark backup feature that keeps on adding backed up bookmark files into the "bookmarksbackup" folder? My bookmark is pretty big and this keeps on aggravating my profile. The situation is even worse in my portable version of firefox, where it tries to backup the bookmark at the beginning and save it as a bookmark.bak file while exiting and in the process takes on ages, not to mention the reduction in life of my flash drive. I need to disable this auto-backup feature, desperately. Please help.

Hi John. First of all, great job with portable Firefox. I wonder If there's a list of popular extension that work/didn't work in pFX.

So far I only tried AdBlock Plus, and it was ok. It would be helpful for everyone if there's such a list.

Anyone. I am wondering if instead of using Portable Firefox on my FGlashdriove on every PC I use if when I am on my main PC is there a way so that I can run regular Firefox on my main PC run Portable on my Flash drive and when I say add bookmarks to my main PC Firefox I can sync it with my Flash drive Portable Firefox that way my links are kept the same between them?

i do not like the popup of the second window of the portable firefox!
how can i do ??
i have get all the setup right ,and there is no extension can help me !

can somebody give me some advice ?

Cross Platform pFF OSX script has to be edited with your current DEVICE name to work.
With this code Firefox start and sync from any OS X devices/volumes without edit needed:

I've packaged a Mac OS X version using this script so you can launch it with a double click from any device:

#!/bin/sh
here="`dirname \"$0\"`"
echo "Starting Firefox from '$here'."
echo "Wait a while before Firefox start."
sh "$here/app/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox" -profile "$here/profile"
echo "Done!"
echo "When finish, quit Terminal.app before eject your portable device."

I just installed pFF - great concept!

I'm having trouble with macromedia...I installed the Flash player with no problems, but I can't seem to get the Shockwave player to work. I followed the instructions at https://portableapps.com/support/portable_firefox#plugins, tried several times. I tried to install to both \PortableFirefox\firefox\plugins and \PortableFirefox\plugins, but the sample movie doesn't work at http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ . The Flash demo works, but the Shockwave player does not. In the status bar is "Connecting to download.macromedia.com". I do have a np32dsw.dll in both directories mentioned.

Hello!
When I installed my flash player i did it the wrong way!

I did not use www.portableapps.com to get it, i just clicked ok and installed it!

I will really think that is the wrong way, when reading the help.html file!

Help me please

Hi

I have just re-installed portable apps after my USB key "broke" (it's the one thing I don't backup !)

This includes pFF and pTB, both of which are at 1.5
When I run both and added extensions both stated that an upgrade to 1.5 was available.

Am I missing something obvious ?
I chose no in both cases as they are already 1.5.

Is then an issue in letting pFF upgrade it's self (are the files not compressed differently or something) ?

Thanks

Ross
