FireFox - Full or Portable Version

Published on March 5, 2010 By CharlesCS In Personal Computing

I have a portable version of FireFox that I use at work thru my PortableApps.com menu off my portable drive. I prefer it to IE. Howevere at home I have the full install of Firefox on my onw PC. Today I was reinstalling my portable FireFox because I was having issue with it these past few weeks. My job computer was slow with little memory and a not so great processor by todays standards so Firefox combined with my job applications made for a painfully slow experience on my job computer. Now I have a faster PC as my PC was refreshed with a more up-to-date PC with a lot of memory and a more powerful processor so I don't have the same slow down issues I had before.

As I installed my portable Firefox with all the add-ons I like, I noticed it worked pretty fast on my home PC, it actually seemed much faster than the one I have installed on my home PC. So my question is this, would it be better to have a fully installed version of Firefox on my PC or would the portable version work just as good? Considering is seems faster, I would like to have the portable one on my home PC. What do you think?
