With the release of Firefox 3, this seems like a good time to discuss how you can take Firefox with you wherever you go with Firefox Portable Edition.
As an avid Firefox user, when I have to use a strange computer, it feels weird not always finding Firefox, and even stranger not to have my bookmarks and extensions. Firefox Portable addresses this problem by allowing you to install the browser on a portable USB drive. Once you do this, you can start Firefox from the drive and have all of your normal extensions and bookmarks no matter what computer you are on.
If you choose to do this, make sure to shut down Firefox, and properly shut down the drive before you leave the computer. This is also a solution for people who want to try Firefox 3 without overwriting Firefox 2. If you are not 100% thrilled with the new version, then you won’t have to work at reverting backwards to the previous version.
