Portable Firefox takes your browsing where you like

Thought Firefox 3 was pretty special? It’s not just the browser’s Download Day that’s set a record, it’s also one of the first browsers to sit pretty on a USB stick, letting you take your browser, preferences, bookmarks and extensions to any computer you like.

Grab the special version of Mozilla’s browser from Portable Apps, and you’ll be able to slip it onto a USB stick. Then simply insert that stick into any computer you’re using, to get Firefox’s latest version, loaded with all your custom settings.

Don’t worry, it’s completely secure, and even keeps the computer you’re using from saving your private information. The download’s tiny too, weighing in at just 8MB.
