Platform opens, app will not start

Have had portable apps for about a month now, no major problems. Recently, platform menu opens fine, but apps (thunderbird and firefox) will not start. A crash report window appears instead. I've scanned thumb drive for virus and that checked out OK. Rebooting computer did not solve. Do I have corrupt files? What should my next course of action be?

reinstall

simply over the defective version. Data , if still ok, will not be lost by that.

Reinstalled software for nonworking apps as suggested. All is working fine now. No data lost.

check the stick

when things start get lost when doing lot of read/write operatins, it could mean that your flash stick is dying. Particularly some cheap models do not last for ever.
