Hello everybody.
Apologies in advance for a rather basic query.
My Grandparents have been having a few problems with IE on their Desktop PC. I was planning to download portable firefox so they can see whether they get on with FF any better before eventually doing a “proper” install of the program. I wasn’t going to use the launcher, just run portable FF off the internal hard drive of the PC with a shortcut on the desktop. I just wanted to double check that using portable Firefox this way over an extended period of time was ok and wouldn’t cause any problems? Thanks

if you install FF on a HD (and I have including a number of other portable programs), you should use the FF portable launcher and, yes you can make a shortcut for the desktop.
I've done that with no problem. That's why portable programs are better. no fuss, no muss.

Yes, you can run it from the hard drive with just a shortcut to FirefoxPortable.exe. It won't affect your system.
