FireFox

Submitted by astonhollywood on November 21, 2020 - 12:13pm

So I have been a longtime user of Portable app. I use mainly Portable FireFox and love how you can just duplicate and make as many FireFox as you want....

I have been facing this issue for quite sometime now and I just need an explanation of it if it's possible. I noticed that even though my main FireFox is uptodate but the portable ones always ask to be updated. why is that? do we need to manually update them and do we still need to keep the main firefox up to date?

Love the app by the way. Big Fan.

Apps download but installer does not do anything.

Submitted by GustavoPR on November 16, 2020 - 7:53am

I'd downloaded a lot of apps throughout the years. Lately, I'd downloaded the latest version of the following apps but after downloading the installer does not run (even trying as Run As Administrator):
1. WiseDataRecovery
2. WiseDiskCleaner
3. WiseRegistryCleaner
4. SUMoPortable (today's version)

I'm on Windows 10 Pro 17.09

Thank you very much !!!!

Video downloader utility?

Submitted by michele.bartole... on November 11, 2020 - 10:47am

Dear Forumers,

I'm searching for an effective and complete video downloader, able to grab from YouTube, Vimeo, Dilymotion etc.

I downloaded DamnVid Portable, but it seems abandoned because I can't update the modules and it doesn't work. It's a pity, because I could add URLs to the downloading list directly from the clipboard, and it was minimal in graphics. Do you know how to fix DamnVid?

What Is a “Portable” App, and Why Does It Matter?

Some people may wonder What Is a “Portable” App, and Why Does It Matter?

I search for the answer,and get the answer below:

Portable applications offer some definite advantages over their traditional counterparts. They’re lightweight, and they allow you to move between computers while taking your apps and settings with you. Here’s why they’re different and why they’re sometimes—but not always—a good choice.

Anymore to add??
