Portable app on an MTP player?

Hi,
Recently, I decided to try out Portable Firefox. The only portable flash drive that I have is my MP3 player which uses Microsoft's MTP standard. When I try running Firefox directly from my player, all I get is the properties window, and a notice saying "this file cannot be opened directly from this device. You must copy the file to your local hard drive". This occurs even if I have admin right on the machine. I'm using Windows XP. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I think that's the point of MTP. Have you tried using Live mode?

Live mode? I don't even know what that is (I googled it, but nothing turned up)
