Special firefox [run from zip]

Submitted by DingleNutZ on June 28, 2009 - 6:20pm

Pogram: Firefox (pref. v3.0-3.1)

Manufacturers Website: Here (mozilla)

Instructions:
can someone please make a portable firefox that has the ability to run within a zip file.
i would really appreciate this.

Reason:
the reason for this is that our schools network admin has disabled all but a few executables from running and because i have encountered this problem before i know that executables can still be run from winzip or the windows compressed files utility because they show up as one of its child processes.

Creation of Dropbox Portable

Submitted by adude159753 on June 26, 2009 - 9:13pm

I'm not sure if dropbox is an open source software and I'm not entirely sure if it has been requested as a portable app but I want to ask if anyone is working on this as a project or if anyone has considered it because I see that is is rather useful especially if you don't have dropbox installed on the computer and you need to access files stored there.
Like if you went to a friend's house and you were going to do you homework.

Link to download the installer for Dropbox is www.getdropbox.com.
