Firefox on a USB-flash drive

[dutchfire]

Hi guys,
I recently got an USB-flash drive, and decided to instal Firefox on it. The idea was to be able to access the internet everywhere with my own cookies/favourites/bookmarks in place. However, it seems that Firefox automatically places it's cookies on the hard drive, not on the flash drive. How can I easily change that? Alternatively, another decent free browser that is able to do this would be fine too.

1. There's actually a portable version of Firefox meant for USB drives. Cookies are stored on the USB drive by default

2. If it's a normal version of Firefox, add " -profilemanager" to the command line. Launch Firefox, create a new profile and select a custom profile location on the USB drive

you can also try the foxmarks extension, your bookmarks are saved to a passworded server. You can install the toolbar to manage everything automatically on your computers, and log into the foxmarks website when away. Won't store cookies or extensions though.

Thanks GVBN, the portable app is working.
