Firefox Portable

Hey guys. I use Firefox Portable for school work, so I have it on a flash drive and do a lot of things like save bookmarks on it. However, when I bring it home I cannot seem to get it to run properly. Instead it starts up a normal firefox session with the bookmarks and homepage my normal firefox has. How do I fix this?

ok, probably not the best title for the thread, but ....

I recently found out about a (freeware) program called Firemin that is supposed to reduce Firefox's memory use.

and having tried it, it appears to work on Firefox Portable (15.0.1)

using Windows XP (SP3) Task Manager, with Firemin running my Firefox Portable VM Size is about 327,000K and the Mem Usage at 'idle' is about 2K and doesn't seem to get much over 35K when Firefox is active. (I'm pretty sure that is a good thing :-p)

Is it possible to run multiple independent instances at the same time? I would like to have two windows open, each with their own bookmarks, browsing history, ect...

I tried extracting two copies of ffp, and its like whichever one launches first controls which set of bookmarks/history loads. Then when you go to launch the second firefox instance, it just spawns a new window from the already running instance (same old bookmarks etc...).

You would think 'portable' meant the instance is 100% self contained, but I guess not? There must be some way to run two at the same time?

Hi, I always used the the theme below in previous versions without any problem

https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/office-black/?src=search

If I extract this version on HDD the theme works fine. If I copy this previously extracted package on a pendrive, the theme doesn't work.

Why this happens? Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance.

My website has a captcha system which generates random calculation (eg. two times six) and it uses session to store the result.

Firefox 15 Portable doesn't seem to store the correct session, while session works ok on IE9 and generic FF 3.6.

I tried to update Data\FirefoxPortable.ini but it gets overwritten and the standard browser (15+) starts.

Any Idea ?

I have never had this problem before except for the last few weeks when I updated firefox. Even clean installations have this error (without extensions or plugins)

When opening pages with have some javascript content, Firefox takes a long time to load the page (about:home, loads immediately). I even get errors like script taking too long to load etc on educational pages. This did not happen with the older versions. The initial load happens and then firefox does not respond for a long time.

Hi
Is it OK to use portable firefox on my PC as opposed
to a usb drive?Just wondering as I dont like to intall
things that put stuff everywhere!
Thank You

Hi folks,

When I clean install Firefox Portable v3.6.24, no Java anything shows in the plugins but when I clean install Firefox Portable v15, the 'Java (TM) Platform SE' plugin is always present. SO...

Is the 'Java (TM) Platform SE' plugin now a standard part of a clean Firefox Portable install?

a) If so, given the security alert re Java (and the fact that, to my knowledge, I never use it anyway), how do I remove it? Particularly since the removal instructions I have read...
