Mozilla Firefox Portable Edition 3.6.11

Rated 40/50 by mytake4this at Oct 15, 2008

FF is a great browser, but memory use is very high. It was suppose to go down in v3 or v2, but it appears to me to be on the rise. As I type this, I see that peak memory use was at 122,344K and it is sitting at 111,825 right now. Aside of memory sucking, FF and Opera are the best. IE7 is good to have around though, as many sites still only work with IE. That's the way they code them.

CPU is simply way too high. Ap seems to need networking more than I beleive is necessary. Was OK a few back but now is slow and just a resource killer. Switched to k-meleon as it BLAZES with virtually no resource use at all. K-meleon's not truly portable so I started using password safe again.

Actually, Firefox memory usage did go down in v3: http://blog.pavlov.net/2.../firefox-3-memory-usage/

The BEST browser for me !!! Secure, fast, stable and powerfull with extensions !!! @ anomoly - K-Meleon is very outdated now... is based on old Gecko engine without Tracemonkey, Spidermonkey etc.. and have very annoying GUI...

This entry is not good because the homepage points to 3.0.5. It's true you can convert that version to the new 3.1 beta, but it's not exactly a novice thing.

... takes about a minute to start the first time.

Djucan & others having difficulties. It's normal to take longer the first time it starts as it checks extensions, converts old profile etc. Also the memory usage is better than almost any other browser. Getting better even. It's sad that fanboys give it 1 star, because they can - without any merit. Someone who doesnät know that much about software may even take your "review" into consideration. With B3 they have fixed some of the annoyances from previous beta, like last tab closing the browser with it, problems deleting items from history etc. I haven't installed all the normal extensions, so can't comment about the speed reliably yet. looks like a solid 5

Still nothing has changed about the most miserable parts of this browser, it's startup speed is ridiculously slow, also the interface reacts slow, browsing speed is sub-average, and memory- and cpu-usage are horrible.

I like the apps from portableaps.com and I think they allow users to try out betas easier than overwriting the local stable copy. I could not notice a huge speed increase with this beta, but I guess it seemed slightly snappier. I am hopeful Firefox can hit a homerun with this release and keep theor steady market share gains intact.

It a a good browser that is made better by able to carry you favorites with you. Since it don't require the launcher to run and it is a little easier to remove(remove a folder rather than going in to add\remove option or uninstaller) It don't work to my knowledge in window 98 like it the page said, tried with a clean installation and default setting and firefox and won't boot up. AllI the functionally that is in the normal is in the portable version(to my knowledge). Windows 98 might work but I heard the normal one wasn't compatible to windows 98 orwindows ME according to wikipedia and I doubt that the portable one is either.

"The best browser ever" Fast, versatile, customizable, first to do everything (others just copy). Yet to find any. Any issue or con can be easily overcome with a plug-in. I suggest everyone to download, install and adopt this browser.

Very stabile and fast. However with no addons or plugins or anything, it still uses 60 MB of memory when minimized between it's 2 exe's. K-MeleonCCF?, which is also very portable? less than ten Good in the tor browser for sure. But definitely not my daily driver.

OOps post below is for the installer. I actually use this in the torbrowser.

Memory usage is reasonable at first glance. About the same as IE. On this page: http://www.madlibs.com/c...ory/funstuff/?g=madlibs just sitting open, It eventually doubles it's mem usage for no reason at all. Other than that it's fine. K-meleonccfme gets the same job done using less.

"Works very well." Very portable. A little slower than running it locally.

"works with no problems" easy to use runs a little slow I would recommend it for portable use.

"Awesome! Wish I hadn't waited so long to install it." It seems to be more stable than Explorer. I haven't had a crash yet. I can't think of a thing.
