Light browser (lightweight 64-bit Firefox)

[Midas]

Firefox users might be interested in testing Light, a new 64 bit lightweight build of the latest v25.0:

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/lightfirefox/

All builds support portable mode.

All builds support portable mode.

Interesting.

From the readme file:

In order to use the portable mode,please rename the custom_t.ini to custom.ini .

I primarily use chromium for all my browsing but I downloaded this out of curiosity
and I must say this is a great find,have been using it for a couple of weeks now
except for an empty folder in appdata called Light,it seems perfectly portable using the portable settings.

Thanks for the suggestion Midas its an awesome alternate browser for me.

• Now, you just sparked my curiosity -- I'll have to test Lights myself...

EDIT: a short Light review can be read at http://www.thewindowsclub.com/review-fi ... ox-browser.

As webfork found out, Light can be used portably (untested! See quote below), so I think this topic should now be moved to "Submissions"...

• Support[s] portable mode. To use it, rename 'custom_t.ini' to 'custom.ini'.

BTW, pcxFirefox is yet another unofficial Firefox build I have just come across: http://pcxfirefox.sourceforge.net/.

I've been using Light Firefox for quite some time now, I can confirm that it is portable. You simply have to change all the "0"s in custom.ini to "1"s.

I must say, Light is an extraordinary alternative to Firefox. it's smaller and faster than Firefox, and performs everything you need it to do. I personally use it as a portable "Tor Browser but not Tor Browser".

Another ongoing Firefox forked build is Firefox Ultimate (http://sourceforge.net/projects/firefoxultimate/)...
