Updates

I think it would be nice if the developers would also tweak the update notification to only trigger if there is a portable release.

Nope

Can't happen. John would need to rebrand and call it Firefox Community Edition and change all of Firefox's graphics.

Firefox Portable Hanging

I have also had troubles with Firefox portable hanging. It's the ONLY negative comment I can make - great work, John.

It's frusterating. I had not considered the problem to be potentially influenced by extensions, though.

Perhaps someone could (please) comment on this? Thanks!

FireFox is great, but the portableApp-Version rocks ass!
Thx John!

Portable Apps - I like that stuff!

Awesome Job!

This is my first time with Firefox 2.0, and I figured this would be a great way to try it out. Would you believe I have it running on a Pentium 55C (150MHz) / Win98! Solid as a ROCK!

Great job.

what the fruit

I want the .u3p version for my U3 portable device. Can they work on that,or do they already have one v2?
