January 13, 200521 yr I think there was some confusion regarding http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profileAnd that page confirms the thought that "-default" or "-defaultprofile" simply uses the profile created by default (in %appdata%).
January 13, 200521 yr Author The syntax I was referring to is:"C:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" -profile defaults\profile"This is supposed to load the defaults\profile folder...::Update::Found more info here. and by the way the method described in that link above with the 'portable' mozilla apps, works great.
January 13, 200521 yr I couldve sworn there was a thread of programs that you could say, toss on a usb key and use on any pc; as opposed to having to re-install the program.Now back on topic, is tip21 in this page what you were referring to?
January 13, 200521 yr Author Thanks pra-That def helps, but I thought there was an actual seperate topic on this... maybe not.
January 13, 200521 yr Wow!firefox.exe -profile defaults\profileThat works.So now just run it with that switch, configure/install-extensions, and SFX it up for extraction to new install!
January 14, 200521 yr Author another little tidbit Ive found, it doesnt have to be that particular syntax either... lets say you wanted to leave the default profile intact, you could run firefox using -profile <whatever folder> and it will install and use that one.
January 14, 200521 yr oooo, firefox usb, this will be perfect running from my ipod to bypass stuff hehe, gamehead showed me
