Hi koulaxizis; I tried your Firefox and it works great.!
I was amazed to see that it`s all in: /usr/share/firefox
I realized it would be easy to make a RoxApp this way.
I assume you compiled it for Puppy.?
A thought... Could you compile it to work from: /tmp/apps
Then a RoxApp version of it could be anywhere, HD, USB, etc.
When clicked to run, it checks for a link to it: /tmp/apps/firefox-22
If the link doesn`t exist ( reboot ), then it makes one and runs itself.
App. config. files can be in the RoxApp also, making it portable.

Firefox is already portable, does not requires compile (See the original package on mozilla website). I just added a desktop icon, choosed a directory to place the files and packaged it.
Unfortunately, i 'm not sure that i understand how to create a RoxApp.
Is there a guide or could you possible explain me how to?Posted: Tue 06 Aug 2013, 08:38
Well, i did a little research and i suppose that you mean something like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/697 ... ble.tar.gz
Am i right?

A RoxApp or also known as AppDir is a dir. with the app. and a few specific files in it.
When the dir. is clicked on in ROX filer it runs the app.
But mainly they are both no-install apps., you download the dir. and it`s ready to go.
You can place them anywhere, HD, USB, LAN, etc.
Here`s Puppy`s RoxApp page, and the Rox web site has pages also:
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/RoxApplicationDirectory
I`ve designed an advanced RoxApp type package called AppPkg that allows multiple apps. in it.
To make new combinations of apps. in an AppPkg, just copy an app`s dir. to an AppPkg.
It also has a popup menu that runs when you click the dir. when there`s more than one app.
I`ll have to try your app. and see if it can be moved and still work.
