Mac and Win Cross-Platform Portable Firefox

I am a big fan of portable apps. I like that I can save my preferences to a software program and move from computer to computer. With portable apps, you do not need to worry about resetting software preferences or even installing drivers or having a registration code. This is what makes portable apps powerful. One downside to portable apps is that some apps are Platform specific. I work on  Mac and Windows platforms. To launch a portable app., such as the popular web browser Firefox, I would have to download two packages, one that includes the Windows script to launch Firefox and the other package that includes the script to lauch Firefox in Mac OS X. I no longer have to face this predicament.

I recently downloaded the Mac and Win Cross-Platform portable Firefox. I can launch Firefox from either platform from my USB drive and all my preferences are intact. The only issue I came across was that I had to double click on the Mac OS X launcher twice to get the Firefox window to appear (a common bug commented on by the author). All the times I used it, it has not crashed yet. It is easy to install and you will need 42 mb of free space on your USB drive.
