The CheckForPlatformSplashDisable function included with multiple custom launchers needs a minor update for NSIS 3.0 due to the fact it being standard NSIS and not NSIS Unicode anymore. The updated function for use with Firefox, Thunderbird, etc is posted here:

I've updated this to version 1.2 with today's release of WinSCP Portable to fix a bug where it would not correctly hide the splash when set to in the PortableApps.com Platform due to the NSIS processes bug where it can't detect running processes when 300+ processes are running. I also took the opportunity to improve readability by using LogicLib.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
