Make Your Firefox Truly Portable With Portable Gears

Posted by rajivvishwa On September - 15 - 2009

Google Gears provides enhanced interactive functionality for websites designed to use it: drag-and-drop, client-side database storage, and the ability to view and work with specially prepared websites when offline (not connected to the Internet).

Now-a-days most of the feature rich sites interact with the Gears installed in the PC and makes our browsing experience better. But what if we frequently switch our PCs and use portable version of Firefox! what if we dont have admin privileges in the PC we are currently working with? Gears Portable Addon can save our day.

This add-on is an unmodified repackaging of Google’s binaries via the official Windows installer/updater. (In other words, it’s the official releases, simply ZIP’d into an XPI file.)

Installation

  1. Download and install Google Gears Portable (This is an experimental addon so check ‘Let me install this experimental add-on‘ to install this addon
  2. Restart your firefox.
  3. Go to the site you want to enable Gears and click on the Gears icon.
