If you use Firefox or Tbird, AND you have a USB flash drive (and really, doesn't everyone these days?), AND you want the ability to pop that flash drive into any ol' Windows machine & use your favorite web browser or email program, then you must must must must go investigate John Haller's brilliant Portable Firefox and Portable Thunderbird (as I said, Windows only at this time). Slashdot covered it, if you wanna find out more.
Interestingly, mozillaZine is also reporting "Mozilla to Support U3 Standard for USB Devices". This appears to mean that Haller's project is going to be superceded, or perhaps used as the base, of an official project to allow users to run Firefox & Tbird on USB drives. Either way, it's very cool, and it just goes to show where the real innovation is occuring these days in the browser (& email) worlds (hint: not in Washington state).








1. my question is can you still use (save and read) pages under bookmark?
