Portable vs Installed (6th Aug 09 at 8:23pm UTC)
So I have a Portable version of FireFox 3.5.2 I also have Fx installed on my machine as well.

I notice that in the portable version it's slightly faster than the installed version. But sometimes the portable version lags a bit. I love portable Apps, because you don't waste disc space. I have all my apps thinstalled on my external HD. {Smile} and of course it is legal. I actually get them from http://portableapps.com/ {Smile}

What are your thoughts?

I think some portables are better than others, trying to run Photoshop on portable is pretty laggy and does not have all the features the full version would have.

But portables sure are handy when you need to take an application somewhere on a pen drive {Smile}
