Using the Firefox UPA Edition

The Firefox UPA Edition is 7Mbytes large so it might be a good idea keeping the browser on a USB-stick or a CD.

When you start the Firefox UPA Edition, the self extracting archive extracts the content to a temporary directory on the computer you are using. This takes a few seconds.

The BarracudaDrive proxy (BdProxy) is automatically started after all files are extracted. Enter the URL to your BarracudaDrive Web Server and login.

Firefox portable is automatically loaded by BdProxy after you login. The browser is preconfigured to use the BdProxy and you are therefore browsing in stealth mode.

Do the following when you are done surfing:

  • Close Firefox.
  • Close BdProxy.

Firefox and all temporary files are automatically removed as soon as you close BdProxy.
