I have just discovered Portable Firefox, a pocket-size version of the popular web browser!

Portable Firefox allows you to carry your whole web browser, bookmarks and extensions with you on a USB thumbdrive, iPod, etc. It’s based on Mozilla Firefox, so it has all the same great features, but there’s nothing to install. — SourceForge

It works like a charm on our somewhat locked-down library student stations, reading off my cruzer mini . The portable app takes about 20 MB of space. I am investigating any security implications.

Over the next little while, I will be trying out some of the other PortableApps.
