As we know, Opera and Vivaldi provide a portable version of the browsers.
Portable is both safer and more convenient!

Сry of the soul, Developers, please make Portable version

It sure is time for Mozilla to make a Portable version of Firefox available. This is something that should have been done a LONG time ago,

I've used the portable freeware one for years:

You guys are the developers of Firefox, I've been using your browser for over 10 years. It is the best of all the others today. But now I have to use natively portable Vivaldi, Cent & SlimeJet. And all because I don't want to install any software on my system. I like the natively portable versions. Firefox should have been portable for many years now.

Dear Nich, follow this link and take the Firefox portable browser. Here is this link sterile and virus-tested and malicious at: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/d0a731b431d10ca253983440215dd274b01284f8ef92ab3d827640f8f842e8a5?...

I'm running two instances (x86 and amd64) of three different windopsi (win7 and win10) off usb-stick.

At first it was that PortableApps thing.  The problem is this portable Firefox wasn't exactly portable &emdash; profiles go into /Users/whateverdefaultuseris/AppData and such.  This wasn't acceptable so I've made an effort and achieved kind of portability.

Still, Firefox absolutely insists on writing in home and registry.

I've contemplated on this and came to realization that from ground up (I mean &emdash; *DOS*) everything was absolutely essentially portable (exposed greybeards would understand).  And then with each iteration that culture has been lost.  It's possible Firefox can't be made portable &emdash; not in this day and age, not anymore.

Still, as a dream.  Probably should just roll with live Slackware instead.

This is the reason why I switched to a portable Vivaldi. And let Mozilla continue to ignore user requests until there are no users left.
