Unless we are looking at different apps called Pinger, it is web-based, or for iPhone/Pad or Android. PortableApps software is for Windows only with some support for Wine.
Also, Facebook is a website. You can't put it on your flash drive.
Just use one of the number of portable browsers here and you have instant portable access to both.
Website apps are just stripped down, very basic web browsers that can only access the one site. This is stupid on Android (not sure about iOS), just hit Facebook.com with your mobile browser (I like xScope Pro) and you get all the functionality of the app, and it doesn't need to call a second program (your regular browser) to open links, or worse, do so after asking you which one.
Portable Firefox with Facebook as a bookmark (or even your home page) has several advantages over a dedicated Facebook app. The ability to use Better Facebook (soon to be renamed to Social Fixer) and Adblock Plus chief among them. However, also, should you hit an external link, it will just open in a new tab, not the system default browser. Perhaps most importantly, if you are on a school/work computer and they have a proxy setup, Portable Firefox will just use the system (IE) proxy settings. Your "app" may or may not do that. As far as I know, not even Google Chrome Portable can do that, nor Opera Portable. Only IE and Firefox can use the proxy settings, at least on the computers where I work.
