Its size is 177kb so its not a shortcut. Its in the first folder of FirefoxPortable yet there's a folder called App which holds both the 32 and 64 bit versions. When I used this FirefoxPortable.exe it opened the 32 bit version even though I have a 64 bit system. Shouldn't it have defaulted to the 64 bit version?

Hi moz2u, This is probably a question to ask at PortableApps.

It does say in the Description: " Firefox Portable is a dual-mode 32-bit and 64-bit app, ensuring Firefox runs as fast as possible on every PC."

This is a way to carry Firefox in your pocket to use on many computers. Note: Some systems may block its use.
