Portable Firefox 1.5

[Tommaso]

Now that school has started again I decided to try out Firefox Portable 1.5 which was recommended to me by Cabhan a while back. I have to admit, that it is quite nice. Its a little slow to start up, but it's nice to be able to keep all you settings, without them clearing everytime you log off the school computers.

Here is a link to Get Firefox Portable, if anyone else is intersted.

It is a nice program.

Sadly, at my college they have changed the security settings on the library computers so I can't start any program that is on my usb drive. They do have firefox installed already, but now I don't have my bookmarks

Yeah, I grabbed it a little bit ago because my high school uses IE. I find it nice, especially since we're only allowed 30MB on our accounts, so this way, I can have Firefox and still have room for anything I might do in school.

but then the bookmarks will be on the library computer (not my private computer). I guess I could delete them when I am done........

If you are really feeling ambitious, then you could grab a copy of Knoppix, boot it on the library computers, configure everything, mount your usb drive, and finally enjoy your bookmarks in linux, on firefox. Of course this method is a little bit of an overkill for a set of bookmarks

If I were in your shoes I would make a list of all my bookmarks
put them into an e-mail
send it to your web-based e-mail
access web-based e-mail from new location
access bookmarks, open in tabs

That's what I do

for some reason i rarely use bookmarks, i just remember the websites. i might give that a try. it won't run from USB but if i copy the .exe files from the USB drive to the computer, then it should be ok (computers allow .exe files to run for programming purposes).

Last time i checked firefox saves the profile (bookmarks settings etc) in to your network profile directory
