Hi folks,
I installed TrueCrypt and Portable Apps on my USB stick. While this setup is working fine, there's a little drawback when it comes to restricted accounts in corporate networks, where you cannot execute TrueCrypt.
This brought me to the idea that it would be great to have a setup option, which splits the portable apps suite into apps and data, which contain sensitive data (like thunderbird, maybe firefox etc) and apps and data, which are securely usable everywhere.
Cheers
Vince

If you apply a master password to Firefox and Thunderbird, the profiles are then encrypted by that password ;). Or if you are really paranoid, then set the apps to RunLocally mode.

The only thing that a master password encrypts is the passwords stored in the profile.
None of the bookmarks, cookies, email, etc. are affected by it at all.
Truecrypt support is already planned to be included within the next few features, along with category support and some other goodies.
Hopefully, it will be done in a similar vein to the geek.menu way, where you can have apps on both the regular drive and in the truecrypt container, and the menu integrates the two lists.
I'm going to look into Geek.menu some more (haven't used it in a year and a half :P). If you really want to be paranoid, then maybe have another copy of Firefox outside your container set to only browse in Private Browsing mode.
