O.k. I use Firefox portable on a usb flash drive, I would like to have a music toolbar that plays music from music sites online. Now, I can't download third party toolbars because they download to the host computer which uses ie8, I know that I can redirect by altering the registry but I don't want to be messin around in there, so that leaves the only option of using Firefox addons, which is what I want to do anyway because I'm a Google/Firefox man, and the addons are "approved" or they wouldn't be in the addons list. Of the few music toolbars that Firefox, some are not compatible with the latest version ( FoxyTunes ), some require that you have a premium account with a music site ( Fire.fm ), some i can't figure out how to use ( Radio Paradise ) and some have mediocre music, which is the one i have installed at this time ( Radio Online.fm ) Google/Firefox is #1 and the most popular in its field, I would think ya'll could come up with a decent music toolbar so I would'nt have to open a seperate tab when I want to listen while I surf. Thank you for your time.

Firefox Portable isn't made by Mozilla, PortableApps builds it from Firefox code.

Firefox Portable support is over here.

Also the vast majority of the Extensions hosted on addons.mozilla.org are third-party.
