|  | | | "No update possible"
Official release of Firefox can be update online.
Portableapps release can't be updated without leaving a lot of traces everywhere !!! But the menu to update in firefox is available.
So we can't consider this application as portable at all (like a lot of portableapps application unfortunately).

Reviewer Henry is wrong. I have everything writing to memory-stick, use the options. It even understands home and end keys that my main firefox doesn't. My only big complaint is that I can't find a way for it to find and load previous bookmarks. which makes for a very laborious transfer.

If a piece of software publicizes itself as "portable", that means it can be deployed on a thumb drive, plug it to any computer, and can run when you double-click it. The other requirement for portability is that it does not save any file on the host computer: any temp files, history, logs, downloads should be done on the thumb. This is not true for FireFox Portable 3.5 RC3 as when you right-click a photo on the web, and try to Save Image As, the default folder is on the C: drive instead of the thumb drive. You have to manually set the target folder back to the thumb every time you download such a file.

I've been using portableApps stuff for years, they are great. FF will run really fast if you tweak it a bit. The LiberKey thing isn't a solution for me, I want a standalone version of firefox & not be obliged to use some over-bloated suite that connects to a 3rd party site & forces me to use stuff from them.
I looked on the page (je parle francais) & there's no way to download a single app, just a choice of 3 packs which isn't everyone's cup of tea. The X-Firefox looks worth a test as it can be downloaded & run without anything extra.
btw - seems to grab the ff beta on liber, one must register & that too is annoying.

As usual, PortableApps publish the version 2 days after the LiberKey Portable version !
And with the Liberkey, you have direct Live Update from the LiberKey.

This is the most common portable Firefox but it's not the only one, and (interestingly enough) this one is much slower than the other (at least in my experience. The other one is X-Firefox from WinPenPack. Google to find. (It initially will have a language issue unless you speak Italian but that's easily fixed -- see the included instructions).
