    There's got to be a better site for Firefox extensions

    It's called addons.mozilla.org ;)

    Seems the only thing they have is portable firefox.
    Um what about Portable AbiWord, Portable FileZilla, Portable Gaim, Portable GIMP, Portable NVU, Portable OpenOffice.org, Portable Sunbird, and Portable Thunderbird also available on the site?

    Also, I think you and others miss the point of this. PortableFirefox exists in a single directory structure, and doesn't require an "install" other than just unzipping a .zip file. And the profile directory is completely portable, so if you have muptiple PC's on which you do browsing (say, work and home), it's a simple matter of just copying the directory to your thumb drive, and then copying it to wherever you want.

    It's a nice, clean way to maintain the browsing experience YOU LIKE without having to install anything. And removing it is as simple as deleting the directory. Away goes the app and all of your browsing history.

    And if you leverage the Bookmark Synchronizer, keeping bookmarks synced among different locations a snap.

    For those who want portability, this is an excellent choice!
