I'd like to see a true portable version

Portable versions are still sort of hit or miss because of MS's legacy software.

But the idea of a private browsing is intriguing. I've wondered before; why can't they just encrypt all browser tracking stuff (cache, cookies etc) and only open it when necessary and only available to the browser? Of course I'm no computer expert but this is an idea.

Finally another idea is anonymous browsing. An example is like TOR.

But also I agree; Security software should be open sourced. One of the biggest gripes I have with any security software. The idea that if the company sticks a malware, or even some sort of back door, How would you know? Sadly the only open-source Windows based firewall I know of, is SmoothWall, and it is network based - far beyond the simple click and install that Joe HardDrive is use too

Go Mozilla, go!
