Firefox Portable

From FirefoxPortable on Windows to Firefox on Ubuntu

Submitted by giuffsalvo on September 10, 2007 - 12:23pm

Hi, I'd like to move my entire profile (not only the settings and bookmarks, but also, and expecially, the dozens of extensions I installed in PortableFirefox) on the Firefox installation that I have on Ubuntu (not portable, that is).

Enabling Disk Caching

What would happen if the cache was set for > 0 ? Would a cache be created in the Portable Firefox directories, wherever it was located?

I also keep a synchronized copy on a thumb drive.
