Write requests to the portable folder

c2cg - August 5, 2010 - 11:48am

I noticed that starting the FirefoxPortable from a usb-stick causes a lot of "IRP_MJ_WRITE" request to my stick.

Can anyone tell, to which files on the stick were changed?
Thanks.

phishing database

there is a databse against phishing attacks or similar and this has to be downloaded and stored somewhere. Firts run takes much longer therefore.
Otherwise if you have cache enabled, it will write this as well.
