How to run Firefox as portable app on Linux

mkdir -p bin/Firefox/data
cd bin/Firefox

Extract & put Firefox (linux) in ~/bin/Firefox/firefox https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US

cat <<EOF | tee run.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
"\$PWD/firefox/firefox" --no-remote --profile "\$PWD/data"
EOF
chmod +x run.sh

Then from now on, double click run.sh if you have it configured on your file manager, or cd to ~/bin/Firefox and run this:

./run.sh
