Whats the diff between this site and U3?

Hey..
I'm wondering.
What's the difference if I put Portable Firefox from U3, and if I took portable firefox from this site?

Don't really understand the difference.

The Firefoxes are the same

Portable Firefox and Mozilla Firefox for U3 are actually nearly identical. My U3 version is based on Portable Firefox. Same with OpenOffice.org for U3 and Portable OpenOffice.org... though the U3 version is much bigger due to some inefficiences with the current U3 spec.

For more on the differences between the actual platforms, see this comment:

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