Features

FirefoxPortable_small.pngMozilla Firefox is a fast, full-featured web browser that's easy to use. It has lots of great features including popup-blocking, tabbed-browsing, integrated search, improved privacy features, automatic updating and more. Plus, thanks to the PortableApps.com launcher bundled in the Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition, it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your favorite browser along with all your favorite bookmarks and extensions with you wherever you go.

New Tab Thumbnails: New tab thumbnails will appear blank as the disk cache in Firefox Portable is disabled by default. This is due to performance reasons as enabling disk cache on flash drives will often cause Firefox to run much more slowly. You can enable cache within Options if you would like.

Note that Windows 2000 is no longer supported by Firefox. You can still use Firefox ESR for several more months, though.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Platform including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Download

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is available for immediate download from the Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition homepage. You can get the German release from the German homepage and the other localized releases from the Localization page. Get it today!

Just wanted to point out that the screenshot for Firefox is a bit outdated now, considering that there's a new Home Page and some buttons have changed their appearance.

Firefox 14.01 is pretty good, but Firefox 15 Beta 1 is even better! It's faster and more responsive. I'm loving it! Now, I have to try out 16 or 17.

When I try to run Firefox from my flash drive on several computers at work, the computer tells me that a copy of Firefox is already running, although I can find no process related to it in the Task Manager, and as far as I can tell it's not even installed. It is not prohibited for me to run it portably at work (at least, not by my own supervision and management, but it's a big company), but I'm wondering if maybe it actually IS verboten on a higher level, but is not general knowledge in some departments like mine, and the IT department does something to all the PCs to prevent it from running. I am able to successfully run other portable apps, such as Notepad++. I've googled for this problem, but although there are numerous similar-sounding problems posted and resolved at various web sites, I haven't yet found one that actually deals specifically with this exact problem. Any ideas?
