Portable Firefox is a fully functional package of Firefox optimized for use on a USB key drive. It has some specially-selected optimizations to make it perform faster and extend the life of your USB key as well as a specialized launcher that will allow most of your favorite extensions to work as you switch computers. It will also work from a CDRW drive (in packet mode), ZIP drives, external hard drives, some MP3 players, flash RAM cards and more (Note: It will not run from read-only media like a CD-R, but Portable Firefox Live will). This grew out of a mozillaZine forum topic (now split in two: original, followup) back in June of 2004. Any comments or questions can be directed to the current Portable Firefox mozillaZine thread. You’ll find me in the forums as CritterNYC. You may also be interested in learning about Portable Thunderbird, Portable Sunbird and Portable NVU.

It is also possible to install many other programs on the on your USB drive, even Linux and Windows CE. A simple search on Google for “apps for USB drive” will give you a lot of hits and you can search for stuff like that. Definitely a great idea if you travel to places where the computers are not so good and want to have your own personal operating system running of off a small little USB device!
