I work on computers without admin rights, and i can't install add-ons,

how to make a true portable Firefox without using registry at all

I really don't understand that a free software allows such a blocking, even if chrome doesn't pose any problem with add-ons.

is there a way to lanuch firefox with a option to not use registry or to redirect registry in file or in a not locked custom registry like

hkey_local_machine/software/policies/Mozilla_portable/Firefox

or something like that ?

You should check with your IT about this option;

Mozilla Firefox Portable Edition http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition

https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr Mozilla Firefox ESR, Portable Edition

A fully functional package of Firefox optimized for use on a USB key drive. A specialized launcher will allow most favorite extensions to work as you switch computers.

Firefox Portable is a 3rd-party build. Support is available here: http://portableapps.com/forums/support/firefox_portable

You can use sync to share passwords, bookmarks, and history. Anything else may not be compatible between different browser versions or computer systems.

sorry but i d'ont talk about my IT an i already have portable apps installed,

is just today i use chrome portable every day because i d'ont have any probleme probably because chrome has a better design on this point I just want to use firefox because is open source,

is it easy to change the registry path keys used in the source code and then compile it ? or is it possible to run firefox with option to block any default configuration or registry reading?

That is above me. I called for more help.
