Firefox Portable

THe firefox app page states that the preview pictures in the new tab are blank due to the disabled disc cache in Firefox portable. Since version 16, those pictures are stored as jpegs in the profile folder and thus appear even if the disk cache is disabled.

@John: Please change the page.

It seams im unable to use FF Sync with the Version 16.0
The broser does connect to my Profile and I even can see my Qouta in the mozzila Server. I just come up with Sync- Error.

Just wondering what's happened to my favicons. They are showing on my tabs and my bookmarks but not on my address bar. They use to show up until I updated to FF 15.0.1. Now it just shows a world icon. Is there a setting to change it back or is it just the way it is now? Not a big deal cos everything else works fine.
Thanks.

Dear John,
After installed Firefox portable 16.0, the 2nd profile don't start more.
I saw that there is a conflict with Torbutton 1.4.6.2, because, removing that addon, the 2nd profile work fine. But the strange thing is that the main Firefox (1st profile) work fine with that addon installed and enabled. Also work fine the Desktop version of Firefox 16.0 with Torbutton 1.4.6.2 installed and enabled.
Only there is a problem with the 2nd profile (version 1.2 in my installation). Why?
It is an unpleasant thing because the 2nd profile is, for me, precisely to work in Tor mode.

Hi, I've installed Firefox portable on my PC (old Thinkpad A20P) and it' working very well but I have a problem when I open a web link from another folder (outlook i.e). It is opening another firefox same version but with another personal configuration (from previous std firefox I think). I proceed to deleting entire file but the configuration below is still coming back! If it is not normal, have you a solution? Thank you for help!

Is it possible to have firefox2ndprofile working with a directory other then FirefoxPortable?
If not can this be configurable in an ini or something?

Thanks,

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.

http://datum-forensics.com/2012/05/firemin/

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.
