Did you ever decide whether to change, for example, Portable Firefox to Firefox Portable?

Sticking with Portable AppName

Decided to stick with it the way it was. It would have broken some stuff that people are basing on Portable Firefox (et al) and there's quite a bit of name recognition for it already. The feedback from others was probably about 2/3 keep it, 1/3 change... maybe fewer on chang... so that played a factor, too.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Name Change

I was all for the name change, as it makes organization easier. Rather than a bunch of "Portable XXXX" it would be "XXXX Portable" with the tool name listed fist. It just seems easier to associate it with the non-portable version

You can rename them...

On your own portable drive, once you've download, you can rename PortableFirefox.exe to Firefox.exe if you'd like.

Or ImSoGladIDontHaveToUseIE.exe if you were so inclined.

Don't name it firefox.exe

Actually, don't name it firefox.exe. It will trigger the multiple instance detection.
