Remember to have Firefox portable version on the stick!

As this is an Apple blog, it’s probably also worth noting that most Mac OS X applications already work straight off a USB stick. So you could have a USB stick with both platforms set up for use. For syncing contacts on the move you could try http://www.plaxo.com/ cross platform and works well with Thunderbird etc.

It’s a big saver for me since I spend so much time on my work computer and often put aside sites that I’d love to visit in length when I’m home.

It also occurred to me that you could also use portable apps, as mentioned by JP. There’s some hassle to that but it would work fairly well.

I agree with JP that FoxMarks is excellent and also I’d be lost without add-ins for Evernotes (personal information management) and Remember The Milk (Time Management).

There is also one other program I’ve just discovered called DexRex that stores all IM chat logs online. This isn’t a firefox add-in but I thought it might be of interest anyway.

Best wishes,

Martin

You could use Foxmarks to sync your bookmarks and passwords, and leave no traces behind on the borrowed windows machine.
