Both full versions of IE and Firefox are a pain to get setup and all with
their profiles and settings and the what not. However the Portable Edition
of Firefox helps resolve that. It can be run from anywhere, including a USB
Key fob and works the same as the full edition. The beauty of it is that it
stays put ina single directory and updates there also.

Instead of having to constantly new push updates out to our servers locked
down workstations for example we just push out the updated folder for
firefoxportable.
