Ok so while procrastinating for my coursework today I found out about Portable Firefox.

This is a fully functioning version of firefox that can be run from ANY writable medium that can be used in a computer. USB drives, network drives (like I am doing now), external harddrives... anything. Excepts CD's I believe.

This allows me to run it on a crappy University system that doesn't have firefox... and I can install all the plugins and stuff that I can normally with ease. Obviously yo uneed somehting to put it on... but I am using this on my network space provided by my university with absolutely no problems. Apart from the computer science PC's (which I am not on now) they all use IE6... which is annoying.

There are a few other portable apps on that site that may be of interest to you aswell.

SAY NO TO THE WINDOWS REGISTRY!

Oh yea, I forgot. As far as I can tell, it's windows only.

And I just realised i'm 20 mins late for a lecture. DOH!
