Me and a buddy wanna play this at work, we have unrestricted net access, but we can't install anything to the hard drives of our computers. I know you can install firefox on a thumb drive, should I be able to install quake live, which uses a firefox browser plug-in, on the thumb drive as well and have it run okay?
anyone have any experience with this?

To clarify, Quake live installs as a .msi file. There is no option to change the directory it installs to. Could I simply copy the installed files from my hard drive to my thumb drive and get it to work?
It's unlikely that it'd work. I can't really say though. What I fail to see though is why you don't just try it?
If you're wanting to copy it, copy it to PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins, in whatever directory structure it uses (I don't know what that is).

I have attempted this, but the Quake Live platform needs to install the PunkBuster service on the system, which is NOT portable. Also, it use a folder in the Application Data to store the downloaded files (ie: maps, textures, etc), which is hardcoded in the platform.
Sorry, not portable.
