General Discussion

I want opening new incognito window of Chrome or new private window of Firefox in Context menu via PortableApps.com Platform, but this is unavailable.

Background:

A year ago, I switched to Android (from iPhone). I have very high productivity needs, and don't do social media. I installed all the apps I needed, and then switched off all updates.

The result? Life changing.

Pros: My phone behaves predictably. The UI never changes. My friends and colleagues keep complaining about how after updating this or that app the buttons changed, or free features became "paid-only", or the phone slowed down, or the app keeps crashing. Not for me. Everything works exactly as it used to a year ago.

I am wanting to download audio books from Overdrive.com and audible.com.. I have to install the programs to download them, but I am using a public computer which will not allow programs to be installed. Any suggestions, or for that matter, anything that would allow download from audible.com

I always have/use a non-portable Google Chrome instance. And several portable Google Chromes. But when they update at start up by the Portable Apps Updater, it says that my Portable Google Chrome instance is open. But it is not. The one open is my non-portable instance of Google Chrome. Only after I close my non-portable instance of Google Chrome, the updater continues.

Greetings all,

I'm looking at beginning to use my phone as my EDC storage device with all of my portable apps.

However, I've found that some portable apps don't seem to work from the phone. I've also found that I can't use the PortableApps installer to install portable apps on the sd card or storage of my phone.

I think this is because when I connect my Galaxy S8+ to the computer through USB it doesn't get assigned a drive letter. It pops up with an MP3 player icon (MTP I think)

Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi, I've been using an installation of PortableApps, which is located on an External USB3 Hard Drive. This installation is a 'working installation', which I use to download and evaluate individual apps, with the intention of eventually placing a select subset of apps on a USB Flash Drive.

I also use this External USB3 Drive installation to run apps which I may use only occasionally, and thus prevent unnecessarily clogging up my Windows registry with local application installations.

Wow, not sure what happened here, but when I plugged my USB into another computer, I noticed I lost all my extensions in both Iron and Chromium. Yes, I know Chromium isn't supported here but Iron is and the same thing happened in both.

Bookmarks and password are still there but the extensions I installed have disappeared.

I noticed Opera and Firefox stayed intact, though. What's going on there?

Does it not save the profile locally on the USB?

Or did some fluke happen?

As a part of updating our stats system to work with the new app directory page layouts, I noticed an error in calculations for the overall download numbers that resulted in millions of double counted downloads. I've fixed the math and removed the duplicates. I'm erring on the side of caution and throwing out numbers that appear to be due to hack/probe attempts as well. The numbers may change and possibly jump back up a bit as I continue my analysis. Apologies for any confusion resulting from this.

I switched from XP to win7 and everything was fine till I moved my search box into tab menu to make all other icons fit in the navigation bar. Not sure if it was the cause, but I lost all search engines and any ability to add or reset to default (greyed out). Someone suggested this fix in about:config browser.search.showOneOffButtons, but the line is not there. I tried placing the search box back into navigation bar - no icons; tried in FF61 on another thumb drive - works in both places. Safe mode restored all search engine icons as well.
