No Putor.... IE depends on the Windows runtime and cannot be used independent of the OS.

Can you do the same or similar with IE?

Sure, you can just use IE if you need to... but when you have lots of bookmarks, adblock and other extentions, and your passwords organized by firefox, it makes a lot of sense to carry all that with you. Just hope you don't loose you thumb drive or you need to change all your website passwords!

BTW, Social Security isn't funded by the rich people. Only the first $86,000 of W2 income is taxed for Social Security. Thus, if someone has $20,000,000 in income this year, they pay the same exact amount of Social Security tax as a person making $86,000.

BTW, even though I think Bush is retarded, there's no way I'll vote for Kerry.

Thanks a bunch, Aaron! I went out looking for how to do this and Google popped your site right up. As to why you would want Firefox on a thumbdrive Jeff- a couple reasons I can think of:

1) It’s just plain a better browsing experience.

2) All your favorite extensions & bookmarks ready to go at your fingertips, even while on the road (such as when making repair trips to another’s PC).

3) I can only recall one exploit thus far… do you really want to count IE’s?

4) Everything would be self-contained on the thumbdrive: pop it into someone else’s computer, surf the net without changing their average settings to your power-user settings, without leaving a mess in their history trail, without leaving them cookies, without leaving … you get the point.

5) No popups by default, a huge plus when trying to clean out some one else’s spyware- and adware-infected PC

6) No extensions installed that you didn’t put there – again handy when trying to clean out some one else’s infected PC.

7) See #1.

Thanks again Aaron, and happy browsing to all!

Just out of curiosity, why would you want FireFox on a thumb drive anyways? I mean I’m a huge fan of it too, but I can handle IE while I’m at work or at my mom’s house for a while…
