How to run portable Chrome as APP (without browser navigation bar)?

Hi! In standard Chrome browser installation on the Computer you need to edit shortcuts path and paste

--app="http://websiteappdemo.pl/"

Like here:

C:\Users\demouser\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --app="http://websiteappdemo.pl/"

and chrome will run without address bar or any navigation.

But the question is:
1. How to do it wih Google chrome portable? It is possible?
2. How to do it wih Firefox portable?

AdditionalParameters=

1. It's fairly easy. Simply copy AppNamePortable.ini from Other\Source to beside GoogleChromePortable.exe and rename it to GoogleChromePortable.ini

Next, open this file in a text editor and change the line AdditionalParameters= to AdditionalParameters= --app="http://websiteappdemo.pl"

2. I don't know if this behavior is supported by Firefox or not, but if so, use the same procedures, changing the additional parameters to whatever Firefox requires.

More specifically,

it's just running GoogleChromePortable.exe --app="http://websiteappdemo.pl". The arguments will be passed from GoogleChromePortable.exe to chrome.exe. The AdditionalParameters is for making it always run as that, which may or may not be desired.
