+
+                        Questions Fréquentes
+
+═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+
+Q: Pourquoi Firefox uniquement ?
+A: Votre système utilise des technologies spécifiques qui fonctionnent
+   uniquement dans Firefox dans l'environnement cible. Edge et Chrome
+   ont des restrictions qui empêchent le bon fonctionnement.
+
+Q: Firefox Portable est-il sûr ?
+A: Oui ! C'est la version officielle de Firefox, emballée pour être portable.
+   Source officielle: portableapps.com (projet open-source reconnu)
+
+Q: Puis-je utiliser une version ancienne de Firefox ?
+A: Firefox 60+ recommandé. Les versions très anciennes peuvent ne pas marcher.
+   Préférer toujours la dernière version.
+
+Q: Ça prend combien de place ?
+A: - Firefox standard: ~200 MB installé
+   - Firefox Portable: ~200 MB
+   - Package complet (Class_generator + Firefox Portable): ~400 MB
+
+Q: Et si Firefox est bloqué par l'IT ?
+A: Options:
+   1. Firefox Portable (pas d'installation, peut passer sous le radar)
+   2. Demander exception IT (justification éducative)
+   3. Utiliser une autre machine
