Universal Firefox on a USB Key

Version 0.2
We asked Ben Hearsum about Firefox using the libstc++ 5 libraries, and he was going to look into it for us. We had also tried doing a Static build of Firefox, which was successful, but it wasn't static enough. Our thoughts were that it might be worth the performance hit to have one huge Firefox binary, that would be totally self reliant, but apparently that isn't a viable option. We have tested our libstc++5 version on Fedora8 at Seneca, as well as on a couple other distro's such as Ubuntu, fedora7, and it works well, without the need to do an apt-get.

=== Version 0.3 ===
 
For 0.3 we have modified our Linux script, and spent much of our time getting familiar with the MAC OS system, since neither if us has ever used a mac before. We also investigated the possibility of running ONE script to start firefox on all three platforms, but found that this was not feasible.
 
Our Mac script is as follows:
$curdir/linux/firefox --no-remote -profile $curdir/Profiles/UniversalProfile '''<font color="red"><----this line returns the current directory of the shell script</font>'''
