I recently switched the Google Chrome Portable Beta and Dev channels to 64-bit from 32-bit. I did this as it's currently not a dual mode 32-bit + 64-bit app due to the touchy launcher and portablization. I'm considering switching Firefox's Beta, Dev, and Nightly channels as well as Thunderbird's Beta channel to 64-bit only. It's currently a dual mode app, but I'm wagering than anyone wanting to test out upcoming features is probably not using an old Windows 32-bit machine. This would save on build and upload time.

I use dual boot windows 10 OSes, if i open the portable iron browser from another windows OS, then all of my add-ons, setting will be gone

this happens when i used the official portable iron browser form their site

will the portable iron browser from this portableapps site, acts any differently ?

the same also applies to the official portable vivaldi,slimjet, opera

and how about all the chromium based portable browsers from portableapps, will they act like the official ones or as true portables ?

thanks

is it possible for portable apps to recognize external portable apps?

example freefilesync 11.14 portable

I've been trying to find a portable android emulator for a while now and even though I've seen some attempts at it or even portable VM software, most of it is either too old or not that portable enough.

Is there any emulator that could be put on PortableApps that works and it's fairly recent?

sPortable
Ver 8.80.0.143
Windows 10 Ver 21H2

Downloaded to USB drive and attempted installation. About halfway through the install an error message came up stating that the version of Skype was not valid and would not be installed.

I closed the PAF installer, deleted it, downloaded a new copy. Same issue with the error message. sPortable (Skype Portable) will not install.

Are we allowed to request apps that are free and open source, but do not have Windows binaries precompiled by the developer? If so, your platform could provide an amazing public service by becoming the only source of Windows binaries for such programs.

I see new apps available now and then. If I were to take some time and create a portable installer for an application not currently in the catalog - what is the process for getting it added to the catalog? I presume there is some testing, validation, etc. that must be done along the way.

Thanks

Hi,
I hope I'm wrong.
For years I have installed portable applications in non system internal or external disks, ie: D:, E:, F: or whatever including USB memories. I have well structured directories that makes my life easy.
The question is: why is this program necessary? Unless there is another advantage I can't foresee of course, for instance installing a non-portable Windows program in an external portable driver.
Any comment will be appreciated.
Thanks.

The file is there (if I copy the path from the error message it is opened up) and the Launch section exists as well as its ProgramExecutable value. So I don't understand where the error comes from?!

Thanks.
