For starters, his launcher has no source... so who knows whether you can even trust it. Secondly, it can't legally be distributed with Firefox.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
yep,it has no source and it can't legally be distributed with firefox,but it's so small,has no ini files for configuration,so it's simple for using,and it works nice with the latest version of firefox,just put it in firefox's install directory,run it,then profile directory will be generated.
btw:thx for portable firefox,if only I didn't find it,maybe I could miss using firefox,but this launcher is another choice,i think.
Actually, it's about the same size as the Firefox Portable launcher (80kb vs 130kb mainly due to the license display, etc). The Firefox Portable launcher doesn't need an INI file either. It uses a special one internally to keep track of last launch location so that secondary launches are much faster (something this launcher doesn't do).
Also, his EXE is actually illegal as it's using the Mozilla Firefox logo without permission. (It's a trademark, you need permission to use it.)

***has no source... so who knows whether you can even trust it.***
well that isnt always true all microsoft OS's are closed source but almost all users trust and use it even though there are many things in it that are included and not described (other then the 28page license aggreement but who reads that:) ) arent good like DRM and Guiniune Advantage? many other products are great and closed source yes i know some coders might add malicious code into their product so it is being more of a safe user by doing the open source method. but still. Examples...
if its illegal then off course it shouldnt be used since it violates licenses
