How to install Portable Firefox in Xenial pup or other Puppy

[willithepuppy]

For those, who like to work without savefile

With small changes taken from an Ubuntu forum

Create a dir myplace/firefox-portable for example: /mnt/sdb1/firefox-portable
create a dir in myplace /firefox-portable named myprofile

Copy your existing dir /firefox into firefox-portable
create a folder in your /firefox-portable named myprofile

Go to your dir /root/.mozilla/your Profile for example /root/.mozilla/004567.default
Mark all and copy to /firefox-portable/myprofile

Create a script named loader.sh in root, ore where do you want.

#!/bin/sh
cd /myplace/firefox-portable 'this is where do you want to place your portable-firefox
"$PWD/firefox/firefox" -no-remote -profile "$PWD/myprofile"

and make it executable

Put a shortcut on the desktop
Set icon, whatever you want

By clicking the icon you can also save in the future your changes in Firefox if you work without savefile.

Don't know, newer Versions also running?
