What ho one and all,

I generally use Firefox on my W7 computer but recently had a problem with one web site not allowing me to edit a photo calendar and i was recommended to install another browser.

Don't really want to , so figured i would try wither Chrome of Opera portable app.

Correct me is I'm mistaken, but once either is installed, it does not really write lots of stuff to the HDD? Or may be, what it does write, it immediately deletes when closed?

If this is the case, why does Firefox running from C:/Program Files, need to write and keep so much 'c**p' in the various profile folders.

As FF was running slow, I have run a couple of 'cleaning' programs and they found over 1.5gb of temporary files in the FF folders.

So i guess my question is, what is the benefit of a full FF install over running from a portable app?

Thanks and toodle pip
