New site is great.
John T. Haller. One of my personal heroes. lol.
I discovered portable firefox quite a while ago throught FireFox's StumbeUpon toolbar and was instantly hooked. My school only uses IE and Netscape, so it's great having these on my Thumbdrive and Portable HardDrive too. You got me hooked on apps that can run from my Thumbdrive, and I'm very glad to see this new site you've created dedicated to portable apps. Keep up the great work, and I'm looking forward to some of the new apps you've been hinting at on the MozillaZine forums. The Site looks great!
Portable Firefox vs Firefox for U3
Could anyone enlighten me as to the differences between Portable Firefox and FireFox for U3 drives?
Can Portable FF run on a usb drive without needing to be installed or putting ?.dlls etc all over the c: drive, and without leaving any other trace on the host PC?
Single directory
It runs entirely from a single directory on any drive you choose. My U3 version works the same way (but from within the U3 Launchpad). Please address other questions to the support forum rather than story comments.
