    Any chance you will stop writing to AppData? I know its an empty folder for crash report etc, but I don't care, it makes me worry at night.

    No major complaints from me except that the escalating version numbers have been deprecating perfectly fine addons real quick, argh. I used to crank up "maxversion" a notch in "install.rdf", but still annoying, so I took a chance and set them to "99.*" and I'll see how it goes in the next few years!

    Also, as Blaxima rightfully pointed out, it can leave some leftovers behind, especially if an error log is created.

    Otherwise, works fine: not worse then Opera/IE/Chrome, and the addons make it a more flexible choice for me. I downloaded Chrome Portable again but didn't get a chance to give it another go yet.

    FF 7 simply does not do what it says it does. Resources consumption has reduced slightly but no where near the 50% they claim. It looks and performs like a dated browser.

    As for this portable version, it's not really portable seeing as it leaves folders all over the host computer

    great if a virus has crippled the browser and you need to load off a USB !
