Of course
For both Thunderbird and Sunbird you have to download an additional ini file.
For Thunderbird, the procedure is described here and for Sunbird, it's here.

Sorry
I overlooked that.
Where did you copy the ini files to?

I copied them to the folders which held the TB/SB portable .exe (the root of each). It's weird cause i did the same for FFP and it worked

Well,
I'm guessing it's that something is missing from the INI that's causing it to fail.
Also, nice quote

I think
it's not the ini that has a bug but the Launcher as all the inis look OK.

Nope
In the TB and SB INIs, you need to have a SettingsDirectory. It should be equal to Data\settings i.e. SettingsDirectory=Data\settings

Hey Ryan, turns out you were right. I tried out your solution and it worked perfectly :). Now we just need to notify Mista Hailla
