## What it is
RunningCheese Firefox is a customized, portable distribution of the Firefox browser with a polished UI, themes, and pre-configured tweaks built on the Firefox Quantum architecture. It ships as a portable 7z package with one-click setup, update, and repair scripts to make Firefox easier and more pleasant to use out of the box.

## Use cases

- use a portable Firefox that runs without installation
- customize Firefox UI with userChrome styles and scripts
- switch from Chrome to Firefox with an easy onboarding experience
- keep a customized Firefox updated and repaired with one click
- import bookmarks and sync settings across devices

## When to choose
- you want a pre-configured, aesthetically customized Firefox for daily work and study
