Firefox logoMozilla Firefox®, Portable Edition 3.6.22 (Legacy Edition) has been released. It's the current Mozilla Firefox browser from the older 3.6 release bundled with a PortableApps.com launcher as a portable app, so you can take your browser, bookmarks, settings and extensions on the go. It's primarily intended for web page testers as all users are highly encouraged to upgrade to the current Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition 6.0.2 release. This release will install alongside a current Firefox Portable install in a FirefoxPortableLegacy36 directory by default, though it can also be used to upgrade an existing installation. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Platform. And, as always, it's open source and completely free.

Auto-Update Issue

If you allow Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition to auto-update, some non-personal files may remain on the local PC. This will be addressed in a later release.

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 Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

I still like using 3.6 cause of the lack of extension updates these days. John, can you please get all Legacy versions to have automatic updates like the regular apps? Maybe you can have a separate section or category for that.

Firefox 3.6 should be killed off pretty soon now, so there's not much need for it. And there won't be any more 6 month supported legacy branches of Firefox from now on. Even 3.6 won't get 6 months, just a 'short while'. Any extensions not updated by now are likely dead, i'd suggest looking for alternatives.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
