all depends on how far is your network restricted.
In general the answer will be yes, but if you have a network where for example any instance of firefox running in the net is disabled, then this will be difficult.

It's a network in a hospital that i ocationally work in. I need access to the internet but it requires log in. I believe the system will block the use of a USB drive although i haven't tried it yet. What do you think? Is there a work-around with a portable app?

Basically, you copy the LAN settings from Internet Explorer to the Connection settings in Firefox. It's in the Firefox Portable wikiHow article under FoxyProxy.
Why don't you ask your network manager, or your supervisor?
I'm sure they'd prefer it if you asked them, rather than solicit opinions from a public WWW site.
If the network you're on is restricted - it's restricted for a reason, and you're likely to get into serious trouble if you start messing around with things you shouldn't be.
In most companies, violating security policies is a sackable offense
Play it smart - ask for permission from whoever owns the network in question, and not here
