Comment (by keb):

 The hundreds of l10n files in HTTPSeverywhere make it impractical to
 install TBB to a USB stick.  It takes more than an hour to copy a finished
 installation to a fat32 formatted USB 2.0 stick (dont know how long, i
 gave up after an hour).  Installing directly to USB stick fails with
 timeouts.

 Could the installation be modified to omit files for locales the user
 doesnt need?

 This is more than an enhancement request, it is a usability bug, somewhat
 related to the original complaint.  Unlikely it can be pushed upstream to
 EFF since TBB is responsible for final installation of the add-on.
