Hi, Few years ago I was in contact with people who was able to use an executable file of firefox stored in the USB stick. They call it "firefox mobile" and I am looking for the same if it still exists and usable now. I need an executable file that I place in the USB stick and plug it to my windows machine, then I run that firefox mobile from the USB stick. Thanks for your help. Bablou

I assume you mean the Firefox portable edition.

You can install a portable (ESR) Firefox version to access websites that do not work with the current Firefox release. The portable version comes with its own profile folder and doesn't interfere with currently installed Firefox versions.
