Hi,
Does Portable Firefox save cookies and "remember this password" information on the thumbdrive, or on the host computer? Is there a way to make it always save this information on the thumbdrive?
Also, what about saved passwords that are saved by the website, not firefox (i.e. where there's a checkbox that says "remember me on this computer.") Can I make this information save on the thumbdrive instead of on the host computer?
Thanks,
chris.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be portable, would it? Everything is kept on the drive.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Great, so by default, 0% of data ends up on the host computer?
How about cache'd pictures, streaming audio and video, etc.?
I'm new to portable applications, so I apologize if my questions are newbie-ish.
Thanks,
chris.
You might not realize it, but you just asked the same question twice. Cookies are stored on the drive with PFF; "remember me on this computer" on websites just stores said information in a cookie.

One more question, which may be redundant:
How about downloaded plugins? (Shockwave, JAVA, etc.) Don't these require some kind of registry entries? Is it possible for these to be installed without putting anything on the host computer?
(I work in a school system which requires administrative privileges to install anything on the computers, even plugins, so I would like to have these available on my thumbdrive for when I need them).
Thanks again,
chris.
Nope, you can actually just drop most plugin .dlls (including the Flash plugin) into the plugins directory and they'll work fine. The only exceptions are plugins like QuickTime and ShockWave which actually just forward instructions to the locally installed plugins.
