Hi,
Sure, Remember I am using a 2GB USB Flash drive with 2 partitions so that is
behaves like a Live CD with persistence.

I made it with directions from the Ubuntu.com
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
There were some problems with the instructions so if you are going to make
one let me know. The main one that comes to mind is that one partition
should be Fat32 rather than Fat16.

I have FireFox 2.0.0.6. I can't remember if I installed it or that is the
version that came with 7.10. I simply ran FireFox and installed the
extension as normal. I found it on the Mozilla site and clicked install.
That's all nothing special.

The problem I am having is that after every boot I must select Tools->ad
block plus. A window opens up and I slect Filters->add Filter
Subscription. Another window pops up and I can select from a long list of
subscriptions, I usually select the first on EasyList USA. Then I "apply"
everything and all is well.

I have a bunch of extensions installed.
Adblock Plus 0.7.5.3
del.icio.us 1.2.1
Image Zoom 0.3.1
Page Update Checker 0..3.1
Sumbleupon 3.17
Technika 1.5
Tutorial Toolbar 1.0
ubufox 0.4 beta1
Web Developer 1.1.5

I have also installed Flash player so I can watch videos.

About the only thing I can't seem to do is automatic updates. I am
shopping for a 16GB flash stick so I can run a full version of
Ubuntu off the flash stick.
