CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Portable applications seem to be all the rage right now and rightfully so. With them, you can launch your own, customized applications from any computer. Firefox Portable brings that freedom to the Firefox browser.
Firefox Portable lets you take your very own customized version of Firefox with you for use on-the-go. The application launches from any kind of USB file sharing device. We saved the program to our thumbdrive and immediately launched Firefox. From there, we customized it by adding new tools and bookmarks. Using the password manager, we also saved our passwords. When we ejected our thumbdrive and plugged it into a different computer, we were able to launch Firefox, complete with all of our customizations, and browse the Web as usual.
If you keep a lot of bookmarks and passwords, and want to take them wherever you go, this is the freeware tool for you. We highly recommend Firefox Portable for all user levels.
Publisher's description
From PortableApps.com :Portable Firefox is a fully functional package of the Mozilla Firefox web browser optimized for use on a USB key drive. It has some specially-selected optimizations to make it perform faster and extend the life of your USB key as well as a specialized launcher that will allow most of your favorite extensions to work as you switch computers. It will also work from a CDRW drive (in packet mode), ZIP drives, external hard drives, some MP3 players, flash RAM cards and more (Note: It will not run from read-only media like a CD-R, but Portable Firefox Live will).

Version: Portable Firefox 1.5.0.3
Pros: This has got to be the most handiest tool that I found, including the protable Thunderbird application. You can bring your themes, settings, extentions, favourites, saved passwords, etc... all along with you. I'm running mine off of a 256MB USB key and it works amazingly well. If you want the ability to bring your entire browser with you, along with security of Firfox, then you HAVE to get this application!!!
Cons: The only thing that I found that I don't like is a weird glitch when it opened up like 30 windows at once... kinda cool, but annoying. Only happened once, but hopefully not again.

Version: Portable Firefox 1.5.0.3
"The best alternative to Explorer and you don't even have to install it."
Pros: Tabbed browsing, Ctrl+T is my favorite key combo now! Its portable you dont have to install it. Use it anywhere anytime. Keep private keep bookmarks. All the essentials that you need in a browser. Now on a USB stick! Its great.
Cons: Firefox has less compatibility than internet explorer and some advanced features of webpages don't work. Some pages layout looks slightly different.
