Portable Firefox

Biggest frustration using lab computers in most universities is limitation of access granted by the server administrator. Especially when using a web browser. When someone needs to install ActiveX controls or plugins in a web browser then access isn’t granted. It’s a common problem and it limits access of web browsing. Important plugins like Adobe Flash player are very much needed while surfing the web.

I just found a great solution for removing the limits for web browsing anywhere on Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX and Linux (with Wine only). Its Firefox potable!

Now no one can stop you using Flash player 9 and silverlight anywhere! :D

Features:

Extension-Friendly Launcher - Firefox Portable Launcher 1.0.8 is now included by default. It will alter the paths to any extensions you install to work relative to the program package.

Default Profile - A default profile exists within the firefox directory.

No Default Browser Check - Firefox won't check to see if it is the default browser on startup.

Download Prompt - Firefox will ask where to save download

Download History Cleared - Download history is cleared on exit.

Browser History Disabled - The history has been disabled to decrease disk size and the number of writes to the disk, increasing disk life.

Form Info Saving Disabled - Information from forms is not saved.

No Disk Cache - The browser disk cache has been disabled to decrease disk size and the number of writes to the disk, increasing disk life
