why the portable version cannot be refreshed? it makes the updates, it behaves normally, etc, except for the refreshing. I frequently get an invitation for refresh due to slow startup but in the refresh page the link is dead for portable version. why?
Mozilla Firefox is a fast, full-featured Web browser. Firefox includes pop-up blocking, tab-browsing, integrated Google search, simplified privacy controls, a streamlined browser window that shows you more of the page than any other browser and a number of additional features that work with you to help you get the most out of your time online. The application allows Firefox to be run from a USB flash drive, CD-ROM, or other portable device on any Windows computer.

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition (formerly known as Portable Firefox and commonly known as Firefox Portable) is a repackaged version of Mozilla Firefox created by John T. Haller. The application allows Firefox to be run from a USB flash drive,[1][2] CD-ROM, or other portable device on any Windows computer or Linux/Unix computer running Wine. The program does not require Firefox to be installed on the computer, nor does it leave personal information on the computer or interfere with any installed versions of Firefox, however, installation on the computer's data storage device is possible. The program is not totally portable, it can't run multiple instances of Firefox out of the box.[3][4]
Firefox Portable retains all of Mozilla Firefox's abilities such as extensions and automatic updating. Modifications to reduce the number of writes to the flash drive have also been added. The web cache and browser history were previously disabled under the release of 2.0. Firefox Portable's ability to delete cookies and the download history on exit is not enabled by default, as per a licensing agreement with Mozilla.
Personal settings, bookmarks, and any installed extensions and themes are stored on the flash drive along with Firefox Portable. This allows the user to move from computer to computer without losing application settings. Plugins such as Flash Player and Shockwave Player cannot be installed to Portable Firefox in the usual sense, but the plug in files can be copied from a local installation to the appropriate portable folder.[5]
Another thing is if you are updating from Firefox 35.0 to 35.0.1 then the update only needs 3 MB but if you are using the above app then you have to download the entire Firefox app (41 MB) from internet. It is annoying rite?
You have to point to the launcher for the portable browser not the opera.exe or whatever app, so using say orpera portable you choose launcher.exe not opera.exe, at least it works for me.PeteNovember 16, 2012 at 3:18 amGreat. But what about Thunderbird as default Email Client?
@Pete: For Thunderbird, check out this page:Register Thunderbird Portable with Default Apps or Default Programs: -thunderbird-portable-with-default-apps/KHENFALKODecember 5, 2012 at 7:43 pmIt works perfectly in windows 8 professional 64 bit.thank you very much
awsome!!!!!! works in Win 8.1Used it on Opera portable (just point to launcher.exe in the directory where you keep Opera) then the Opera icon becomes available to associate file type (.htm/.html) and protocol (HTTP/HTTPS)
Thank you so much for this handy tool! It was indeed the only one, which does the job.Inspired by this, I coded a new one, with configurable Names, types and protocols, to fit all required needs of you portable users.Check it out:
I've installed latest firefox linux-x86_64 from ftp.mozilla.com on a usb device and created a new profile file with the -P command. Unfortunately, the application does not recognize the flash plugin that is already installed on the operating system.
You can create a new profile with the -P command as shown below.I've created my profile inside USB_DEVICE/.mozilla/firefox. You can set this path later. This is Mozilla's default folder skeletton for application settings (like seamonkey, thunderbird or B2G). To create a new profile run:
I never heard of any "portable" installation on Linux (doesn't mean that it's not possible).On Linux (Unix), applications depend a lot of what is installed on the "host" machine (called dependency), How do you manage that ?
There are no differences between the desktop version and the portable version. That means you can enjoy all Opera's best features such as ad-blocking, personal newsreader, and the battery saver. All your bookmarks, extensions, and data will only save to your profile on the USB drive, not to the host computer.
A portable version of Firefox for Windows has been available since 2004. It was the first app to become available on the now popular PortableApps.com website. You cannot download it from the main Firefox page.
Most of the best Firefox features are available, including extensions and automatic updating. Due to speed issues when updating an app on a USB drive, you can turn on the update prompt if you wish. The portable version of the browser also lets you access your own bookmarks and preferred settings.
Some of the key differences between the desktop version of Firefox and the standalone browser include the addition of a default profile, the removal of the default browser check at start-up, a location prompt for every download, and the removal of the disk cache.
Vivaldi can be deployed as a portable browser on a USB drive. This time, however, the option to create a standalone version of the browser has been coded into the main app's installer; there is no separate download.
In terms of installation, Comodo takes the same approach as Vivaldi. You need to download the regular version of the app, then tick the box labeled Portable version (user profile is stored in destination folder) during the setup process.
We used to recommend Chromium as one of the best portable browsers; many sites still do. Sadly, it's no longer a good idea. It hasn't been updated since July 2017 and runs on Chromium version 61. No further updates are planned.
So, which is the best portable browser? For us, it's a toss-up between Opera and Firefox. For Windows users, the easy-to-run USB version of Opera is appealing, but long-time Firefox users might struggle to pull themselves away.
First, if you often switch back and forth between your work and home computer, you can transfer a portable app via USB flash device, portable hard drive, or the cloud from one computer to another. This enables you to work on projects from different devices at your leisure.
Portable apps, like any software, can spread viruses to your computer. However, as long as you follow the same anti-virus protocol you follow for the rest of your computer, including using anti-virus software, scanning your portable drive for viruses, and backing up your system, it is safe to download and use Portable apps.
Music creation and production software takes up a lot of hard drive space -- LMMS is the portable alternative, allowing you to create melodies and beats, mix sounds, and edit and add effects to your samples. It also offers instrument and effect plugins. LMMS is open source and compatible with many standards, including SoundFont2, VST(i), LADSPA, GUS Patches, and MIDI.
