I copied ThunderbirdPortable.ini from other/source to the folder containing ThunderbirdPortable.exe. I added -safe-mode to the AdditionalParameters= line. I verified no thunderbird files were running in the background. Heck, I even shut down Firefox in case there were shared files. I start ThunderbirdPortable.exe and all my extensions are still running.
I deleted everything else from the .ini file so that it read only
[ThunderbirdPortable]
AdditionalParameters=-safe-mode
and again ran the program. Still all the extensions are running.
Suggestions?
