I have problems with updating at least one PortableApp, i.e. Firefox. Firefox 26 is the current version, but my Portable Firefox is still in version 24 and the PortableApps Suite (11.2) doesn't find an update. Nevertheless other apps are updated.
Firefox is listed in the PortableApps menu, but not in "Help->About->Applications". Therefore is think it is not correct registered in the suite, perhaps because I moved an older single-installation (without suite) into the later installed suite-folder PortableApps\PortableApps.
How can I register it, so that updates will be found in installed.
Additionally I have Firefox 26 installed as non-portable-app. Perhaps that could cause the problem, too?
Many thanks,
herby

If you have renamed the folder at any stage that will cause it to not update. The folder needs to be named exactly FirefoxPortable. That is the case for all of our official apps - if they are named something other than the default folder name they will be ignored by the Updater.
Also in the Help->About app list it will be listed as Mozilla Firefox, not just Firefox, in case you haven't looked under the "M" section.
Many thanks,
I had an space in the name:
"Firefox Portable" instead of "FirefoxPortable"
I renamed it and now it's working fine.
Many thanks,
