* There should be a version of FF which can be used from a flash drive or a local/network folder without putting anything into other directories, and without need for installing. It may even contain binary files for different OSes (don't give FF files same names if in different OSes they are different). So a user plugs the flash drive on a Windows computer, runs firefox.exe, saves the session, takes the flash drive to another Linux computer, runs firefox and continues working.
