Grab a portable version of Firefox 4.0 beta 1, test it safely and easily

I've only tested it for a few minutes, but it seems to be fully-featured and as fast as the real deal (which you can download here). The only difference is that it doesn't require installation, so you can run it from a USB memory stick, or anywhere else.

Oh, our guide on removing Firefox's big orange button works with this portable version! Simply navigate to FirefoxPortableTest > Data > Profile > chrome and dump userChrome.css in there.
The Illusionist's Dream is a simple platformer; you play as a magician who needs to get through each level by transforming into any number of animals that you encounter along the way.
Each animal can do different things; the butterfly can obviously fly, but if it encounters a frog, the frog eats it, and you have to start over again. There's also a fox that runs fast and leaps far, but it eats any rabbits that cross its path. That means that, if you may need to be a rabbit later on, you need to take that into account ...

Sebastian - I'd suggest writing about us in a few weeks once we drop 2.0. We can probably even do something cool for Download Squad visitors. Drop me a line. :-)
