Portable Firefox allows you to carry your whole web browser along with all your bookmarks and extensions with you on an iPod, USB thumbdrive, portable hard drive or any other portable media. You can plug it right into any Windows computer and use it just like you would on your own. It is a repackaged version of the popular Mozilla Firefox browser designed with portability in mind, so it has all the same great features of Firefox, but there's nothing to install.

Portable Firefox was useful for me... at one point. This was until Portable Opera came all zipped up in one package following version 8.5.

Don't get me wrong, Portable Firefox works great once you unzip it to your USB key. It's just my personal preference to use an alternative.

I didn't even know someone had made a portable Opera for USB's. Thanks for the heads up. I hate using Firefox and IE at college, this put a smile on my face today

Well, I just tried Opera even before using Firefox. I just prefer the Mozilla product for some reason.

Does this behave/work any different from the standard Firefox?

#6.1 M2Ys4U on 21 Nov 2005 - 12:24

No, all it does is make sure that everything is loaded/written to the portable drive. I think it's also got some little hacks that help increase drive life

#7 supernova_00 on 21 Nov 2005 - 13:05

ya it does not cache files so dont ahve to worry about 5000 writes a day to the drive. that would kill the drive in a few weeks to months.

This program pwnz! my flash drive has damn small linux, my project files, and this now!

Nice to see that they are keeping it up-to-date

I used to use it before the lab techies woke up and installed Firefox onto the generic template for our labs

Good little program, think more programs should be able to run off a USB stick.
