Ordinary apps (on PC) UPDATE ... and PAF updater

Submitted by RPS.zzz on August 29, 2022 - 11:54am

PAF updater is really great for updating all Portable Apps Format one is using ... (I just love it ... Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, and many other apps, I just use them in PAF ... )
Why not make PAF updater work for of all the apps installed, even those installed on C as non portable apps ?
At least provide a list of all the apps NOT IN PAF installation one has to update ?
Then,
a) Windows system would be updated as everyone knows,
b) PAF apps ... the easiest way to update apps (and thank you really really, but really much for it)

Thunderbird Portable User Password Failure

Submitted by TB22 on August 8, 2022 - 10:09pm

Hi,

I am an amateur user of Fastmail (pc web version ) and Thunderbird Portable (on memory stick). I use the latter to export e-mail from two fastmail accounts using 'ImportExportTools NG'.

I am unable to log in on Thunderbird Portable for one user (lost or forgotten password). I have changed the password for this user in Fastmail ('Users/Aliases', 'Edit', 'Change Password'). However, this new password fails when used in Thunderbird Portable.

Firefox Portable - userChrome.css ???

Submitted by LJB on August 8, 2022 - 4:28pm

I am a long-time user of firefox. I am currently running firefox 103.0.1 (64 bit).

Seeking to migrate to the portable apps version of firefix, I am not sure where I should place the userChrome.css data file that I have tweaked to customize a couple of firefix settings (menu bar and button bar heights, tab shading, etc.).

Can you advise me where I should locate that file?
