I The PCs I use at work have Windows NT, Internet Explorer 5.5, and do not allow Flash or Shockwave, so you can see why I'm left wanting. Launching Portable Firefox was simple, I only had to plug in my drive and double click the icon on my USB drive folder.
I have to say, Portable Firefox works like a charm. Everything worked fine: tabbed browsing, middle clicks, mouse gestures, extensions and even installation of new extensions (I installed another favourite of mine - Forecastfox at work with no hitch). Portable Firefox rendered web pages noticably faster than Internet Explorer. The icing on the cake was that I was able to view Flash and Shockwave again, important for viewing my favourite Youtube videos;)
Portable Firefox does not need administrator previleges to work, so I hope the IT administrators at work wouldn't mind.
My only complaint is that there's a slight delay of several seconds before Portable Firefox lauches after clicking its icon, but after weighing in all the benefits, I wouldn't settle for anything less.

This sounds good!
it doesnt only sound good crimson, it really works. So far i've tried firefox & vlcplayer. Vlcplayer also works absolutely fine, I was able to watch DVDs, divx, and xvid exactly like the non-portable one.
seriously everyone has to try these portable apps.
Very nice site! » » »
