AFAIK only the portable K-Meleon by alain ( and some not so recent portable K-Meleons by Douglas and a 0.9 version for Bart's PE by
Gerhard Broeske) does not write at all onto hdd.

Disk cache is able to be set to zero in any recent browser.
True - but there seems to be more than just cache info

Neither ... or Portable Firefox (in their as-provided forms) write any information to the computer's drive.
I sure agree with You that Firefox writes less than Opera, and it has some other merrits besides but: Portable Firefox creates at least an empty profiles folder in %apdata% folder ( FirefoxPortable.exe, the launcher, by John T. Haller takes care of that and other spoardic write actions ).

The WaitForFirefox entry allows you to set the launcher to remain active until Firefox has closed. This is useful if you wish to have another process wait until Firefox Portable has closed. The launcher will automatically wait for Firefox to close in cases where it needs to clean up after firefox.exe (for instance, to clean up %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox when there is no locally-installed Firefox)
p. s. You would only notice that portable Firefox insists to create this %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox folder when You have not installed a Firefox.
