You don’t have to uninstall it, just delete the Portable Firefox folder.

Matt,

It seems that they started to implement the bookmark features and didn’t have time to complete them. Hopefully in the Alpha 2 release this will work.

Sachin,

The only way you can really get rid of the installation is by deleting the installation folder and browsing through your registry and deleting those keys. To get around this I provided a Portable version of the build so that users can test it without messing anything up.

Let us know if you have any specific issues getting the normal Firefox back and we will try to assist you better. Thanks.

Hi guys - I’m afraid I fell for the post on TechCrunch, and installed the Tinderbox build, thinking it would be alright.
But now I want to uninstall it, and the uninstaller (or lack of) is causing me much grief. What’s the best way of my getting rid of it?

Andrew -

Make sure you run PortableFirefox.exe, not the firefox.exe that the archive also contains.

To fix your problem… you can copy out of your profile directory your cookies and the like as a backup, then try re-enabling extensions in 1.5.0.1 or uninstalling and reinstalling if you can. If not, use the backups we made earlier of important data and create a new profile.

Another mirror for you to download from. Thanks for putting this out. It really helps testing without screwing with your original Firefox installation.

For all those Mac users out there:

Unfortunately I do not have a Portable Firefox for a Mac computer. To create this Windows version I downloaded and modified an existing version of Portable Firefox:

I am also not familar enough with a Mac to create something like this but I am sure it can be done.

Another mirror (with tons of bandwidth, so if you want to download use that instead of killing the first link).

Do you have instructions on how to get this done for the OS X version, so someone with an OS X (like me) could make it available.
