Features
New in This ReleaseIn this release, Firefox has been updated to 2.0.0.16 (release notes), the launcher has improved startup speed when switching PCs, improved portablization of extensions and better handling of launcher INI settings. The installer has also been improved. Reminder: Don't Auto-UpdateWe also wanted to remind everyone not to use the built in auto-updater with Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition due to an unfixed bug in the updater itself. As with all software in PortableApps.com Format, you can do an in-place upgrade (install the new version right over the old one) and all your data will be preserved. More here: Upgrading Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition and Bug 406335.

Mozilla Firefox is a fast, full-featured web browser that's easy to use. It has lots of great features including popup-blocking, tabbed-browsing, integrated search, improved privacy features, automatic updating and more. Plus, thanks to the PortableApps.com launcher bundled in the Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition, it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your favorite browser along with all your favorite bookmarks and extensions with you wherever you go. 
Thanks John

Thanks
...for not forgetting the 2.* version!
no-remote unavailable?
This package is absolutely invaluable for web developers wanting to test against a legacy Firefox. (The Portable OpenOffice has also saved me in this regard.) Thanks guys!
However, with this package the usual methods for running several Firefoxes simultaneously are not working for me: both the "-no-remote" command line parameter and the "MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1" environment variable are ignored.
Can I vote for this functionality to be fixed? A truly portable Firefox should not force session-global registration (however temporary) as the exclusive Firefox other apps see.
