Portable Firefox

Carry your favourite browser in your pocket. This is a link to Portable Firefox - Firefox that can be run from a USB thumb drive. It's a stunning piece of webby goodness. No more Internet Explorer from work, just plug this baby into your USB and browse like you're at home. Portable Firefox 1.0 (USB Drive-Friendly) :: Mozilla Stuff :: JohnHaller.com (click me)

John's instructions on this page are excellent. Just follow them. He tells you that need to install Macromedia Flash Player drivers for it to play Flash websites (this is not the same as a Flash drive which is another word for a USB drive). Just follow his instructions. He's pretty clear.

I can highly recommend the 'bookmarks synchronizer extension' which he mentions under Additional Options. (You'll need a website address for this so get yourself a Lycos free site). It allows you to have the same bookmarks at home and on your portable Firefox. Word of warning: you'll have to delete anything that's nsfw if you use your portable at work.

Happy browsing.
