Not necessarily, a lot use Ubuntu etc and may not be especially competent. Anyway we want to avoid changing settings, because the settings that work well for Freenet stick out and are easily detectable on the web. > But there does appear to be a way to run Portable Firefox under Linux. > http://chanux.wordpress.com/2008/02/09/use-portable-firefox-profile-from-gnulinux/ Here he's just creating a profile for the installed firefox with the settings off the USB stick. That's what we were trying to avoid. Ideally we want an external profile option - something where the settings are kept outside of the firefox directory, where firefox will always default to the default profile, without asking the user. > > I agree that the size might be a substantial obstacle, however.
