Usually, I browse with restricted rights both at home and at work, but sometimes I use a friend´s PC with my PortableFirefox on an admin account and they won´t change the settings or accounts for different reasons. So, to make it short:
is there a general need for a portable app like
dropmyrights Portable and if, how could that be acchieved or who can make it?
Any comments?suggestions?

Is there a need for "dropmyrights" - or "run as..." - Portable and if, how to achieve that ?

I think stuff like drop my rights has more been recommended for insecure apps like Internet Explorer. I've never used it nor do I plan to with Firefox.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I use DropMyRights for FFP, TPB, Quicktime.
I don't use in for IE as the only time I use IE is when I need Admin Rights.
As far as I know it has nothing to "portablize".
It is, in a sense, a launcher, which exits after it is run.
It has no settings to remember as they are part of the shortcut you create, and usually has no settings at all.

Ok, seems there´s not much need for DMR,even portable.
Some annotations though:
-the created shortcut is the problem with the portability of DMR;
it uses an absolute path and isn´t recognized by PAM so far...
But thinking about that once more I found a solution:
(putting DMR.exe into a "DMR" folder within the firefoxportable directory,
creating a shortcut with a relative path to FFP.exe and transfering the shortcut into conveyportable with quicklaunch addon gives the opportunity to start a "safeFFP" from every PC because the shortcutpath is set relative by conveyportable. The PAM mods might manage that less sophisticated?..)
So, thanks for the inspiration
EDIT: much easier - putting DMR.exe into a "DMR" folder within the FirefoxPortable folder,
creating a .bat file within FirefoxPortableFolder (next to the FFP launcher ):
Start.\..\DMR\DropMyRights.exe"..\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe" ,
using an bat2exe converter; here You are with a "FirefoxportableNoAdmin.exe" that will be recognized by PAM.
btw works also with other files .
