I used to run portable Firefox from RAM drive but then I noticed that it still uses Appdata etc folders on hard drive. I did move Firefox cache to a separate folder in RAM drive though.
So, is it possible to run portable Firefox without using any folder or file on hard drive at all? (Appdata, Temp, Cache, Profile, etc) If possible, in how many places do I have I move paths in portable Firefox to make it use just one main folder...
Thanks a million in advance.

I doubt that this is possible.

Currently, only AppData and Temp are used. Your cache, if enabled, should be on your portable device unless you redefine it. The TEMP directory can be moved by redefining the TEMP environment variable elsewhere. You'll actually be able to reposition this to your portable device in an upcoming platform release for all apps. AppData, on the other hand, can not be affected on most computers.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
