Although I can see myself on the road going "I just need to check mail" or "I just need to browse the web", I think it's going to be a much smaller and more specialised group of people who are in an Internet cafe and think "I just need to edit a web page"...
Oh, I don't know. I can imagine freelance journalists taking advantage of this. I had a friend in Eastern Europte who did freelance radio journalism for a year and made great use of internet cafes. Granted, he had a laptop with him, but a web-based reporter could travel much lighter with something like this.

I think it's a kind of proof of concept, every Mozilla standalone application can run in that portable way. That makes possible to use them even if you have no admin rights to install them. That could become an option in the installer "Install portable way in a directory".
PS: Daniel, did you get my mail about my linux ppc build? It's here:
