I run 'Fox off a flash drive, as this allows me to keep my history, bookmarks, etc. all together while using 'Fox on several different computers.

Recently I learned that Firefox has been leaving logs on the hard drives of each computer I ran it on, even from the flash drive. This is a bad idea from several perspectives, including privacy and security, so I'd like to configure my software to write all such logs directly to the flash drive I'm running it on, placing nothing on the computer's HDD.

How do I go about doing this? For completeness, the pathname where Firefox is currently writing information looks something like one of the following:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Mozilla C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp

hello, you could use the portable version of firefox provided by a third-party: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
