Updating portable apps

Let's say I'm running Firefox Portable (I am) and it notifies me there's an update (it did). What should I do:
1 - Go ahead and do the update - will it update properly and still be portable?
2 - Wait for the new release from portableapps.com

The question doesn't apply just to Firefox, but any app (Thunderbird, OpenOffice.org, 7-Zip, Audacity, etc)

Sorry if this question has been addressed somewhere else or if this is the wrong way to ask, newbie

So I think I messed up my computer.

Hello, well you all seem like very tech and Pc savy folk. You see I was having trouble with a portable app and accessing the "Applications Data" Folder in my computer, (I'm obviously not as tech savy, who knew all i needed to do was click "Show hidden folders"

Anyway, what happend was that I was trying to get the folder to show up so on

C:Docs and settings/~

The ~ symbol being my account name, i right click and fiddled with read only, hidden etc, AND then i "accidently" click on the sharing tab and then on "Make this folder private" so this box comes up saying its doing something to permissions and I accidently clicked cancelled, so I checked and unchecked it, trying to get it back to normal.

WD Passport Drives

I am wondering if anyone uses or has exposure to WD Passport Drives. I would like to hear your thoughts on these drives in terms of general portability of files and on the more specific topic of portable app usage. Thanks.
