All it takes to run Mozilla is unzip the Mozilla directory to a neutral
drive, run a cmd to create objects, and click. Where is the complicated
configuration? With LVM you force the drive letters, right? So there
is no conflict there. Both OSs see the Mozilla drive as the same.

I run it from a FAT32 mostly just to be sure I could. The mail,
bookmarks and such are on the same drive and are shared with the Win
version of Mozilla.
