New in This Release

In this release, Firefox has been updated to 3.0.18 (release notes).

Reminder: Don't Auto-Update 3.0.x

We 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.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Download

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is available for immediate download from the Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition legacy section. Get it today!

Thank You John,

I am sure many users appreciate your supporting these versions as long as Mozilla does, I know I do.

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?

Hello, the italian installer is 454K only; I haven't tried it but I bet it installs as empty, like it did in a previously corrupted install.

Thanks a lot for supporting the legacy versions.

I've uploaded the fixed installer. It's 8,225KB with an MD5 of 1c4351a371b4187765d35c0db0c57895. It should hit the download mirrors within the next 1/2 hour or so.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
