I'd like to run Firefox on a flashdrive with all of the defaults on that drive.

I've used portable Apps and found it to be very slow and temperamental. I'd like the plugin, addons, bookmarks, internet file, etc. to reside on the flash drive so nothing is saved to the host hard drive. Is this possible?

Can you compile a build from source code, and know what needs to be modified?

I'm afraid I can not. I don't know where to begin.
