Where I work, we are not allowed to download anything or install applications on our own (sensibly) and we have to exclusively use Internet Explorer (incomprehensibly). Solving this problem is my new favourite application: Portable Firefox.

This is a fully functional version of Firefox for Windows which runs from a USB drive. My drive is a 64MB baby, and PF takes up only 20MB all tricked out with all the extensions and bookmarks I use at home, so I still have plenty of space on the drive for a bunch of files.

Now my bookmarks and cookies leave with me at the end of the day and my breaks spent surfing feel like breaks again.
