I found that PR works, but in the Firefox window all adjustments, bookmarks and passwords are missing.
I'm Connecting with "FirefoxPortable.exe".
Can you give me instructions or is it a bug?

Regards,
Wolfgang

You should always open Firefox via the portable executable first.
Then the links are using the opened instance.
When the app is not currently running, it will start a new instance and messing up the profile...
This is not a problem of the portable registration, then the behavior how Firefox is being loading the profile.

I haven't figured out any solution for this. If anyone got a glue, tell us. ;)

Did you set the default browser app to firefox portable via Windows settings?
