How do i run Multiple Portable Firefox At once?

Hi,

we always use snapcraft.io project on ubuntu. It is very similar to portableapps.com project. I had read that they will develop their platform to work on Mac and Windows. Can anybody explain what the main differences is portableapps.com project and snaps?

- main similarities:
-- they include the libs of spesific app inside it's own dirrectory
-- they dont touch other directories on system

- main diff:
-- they dont use "user-home" inside app directory

Thank you

What to use to make a USB Flash drive Windows bootable & run selected Portable Apps

We're aware of and working on the site slowdown issues that have been occurring for the last few days. My apologies for any inconvenience these have caused. I'll keep everyone updated as we troubleshoot and learn more. Platform downloads should be mostly unaffected by this.

For those who don't know me, I've been around for years... I used to be a bit more active several years ago. Big fan of the platform/project. I started using PA on an 8GB Corsair Readout — flash drive that showed you the MB remaining right on the drive. It was really cool. Since then I've used it on big external hard drives, portable (bus powered) hard drives, USB 2.0 flash drives, USB 3.0 flash drives, and now I'm using it on a Samsung T3 portable SSD.

I'm using FirefoxPortable from this website as my daily browser for over 10 years now.
I keep it on a truecrypt (veracrypt) container, and have it registered as default app. To launch the browser, you have to mount the veracrypt volume with a password first. I secure my history and passwords this way (as well as other sensitive apps, such as messengers and email clients).

Today, on at least three different occasions, when navigating News pages, I've encountered this phishing-like behavior, where addresses where changed as shown below.

According to Development Test - Forum Posting Layout I'm supposed to make a comment on the Development Test Releases Page.
Once I do that is it supposed to show up in the list or at the bottom? What subject do I use?
Or do I use the "Add content" link?

Can PortableApps do what XTraPC can do? Boot from the USB? https://www.xtra-pc.com/
