How cool is this? It's free and let's you take your FireFox settings wherever you go.
"Portable Firefox is a fully functional package of Firefox 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." Source: John Haller.com
If you scroll to the bottom of the page linked to in this article you will see that Portable Firefox has been around since June of 2004 - not exactly fresh news, is it?
The site is not Realfreshnews.com - it's a collection of technology news, reviews, trends opinion and that I am hoping the audience will find useful. Some will be super timely, and other will be layered in to make sure people know about something innovative the might have missed. I beleieve that a lot of people have discovered FireFox lately and the numbers continue to grow, so this would be new news to them. Doesn't hurt as long as this is the most current version available, and not Windows 98!
mmmmmm, I've been using Firefox since 0.8 and I didn't know about the USB setup. Might be a little more useful instead of trying the keep 5 installs sync'ed at work, i.e. different shop laptops used by all.
Thanks. I visit about 20 sites a day but if you are away one day or just get out of synce you can miss some pretty interesting things that don't pop up again becuase they are not earth shattering news. I figureit's my job to package up as much as I can for everyone to make sure you don't miss anything.
