Plugins such as Flash Player and Shockwave Player cannot be installed to Portable Firefox in the usual sense, but the plug in files can be copied from a local installation to the appropriate portable folder. This allows the user to move from computer to computer without losing application settings. Personal settings, bookmarks, and any installed extensions and themes are stored on the flash drive along with Firefox Portable. Firefox Portable's ability to delete cookies and the download history on exit is not enabled by default, as per a licensing agreement with Mozilla. The web cache and browser history were previously disabled under the release of 2.0.


Modifications to reduce the number of writes to the flash drive have also been added. Differences from Mozilla Firefox įirefox Portable retains all of Mozilla Firefox's abilities such as extensions and automatic updating.
