When an update is performed, will portableapps re-enable "Clear History"? I just opened Librewolf to a blank session.

I read the disclaimer in the settings. I've been keenly aware that I must be sure to disable "Clear History" to maintain my session and history. We can see that I have "Remember Browsing and Download History" enabled. But now, 'Clear History when Librewolf closes" is selected. Why would I have both selected?

Not sure, but I also "believe" that I created the related about:config commands. If I did, they are no longer in effect.

After an update, the settings were altered. I think the database cloud backup I have was made before the update. How do I import?

If not, I have a older non-portableapps version. Can I Import a file from there. If so, where do I put it?

Hey guys, I just did it: I finished the tests a few hours ago. I managed to make a portable version of Opera Developer (the missing piece) based on the PortableApps.com Opera GX as a template. As a portable app enthusiast and Developer version fan, it felt like completing a crucial quest! Please, John, this is not a self-promotion - this is a try to cover a long-time need. I made it for my personal use.

Chrome Beta install no menu link created, I wonder if the menu link for the non-Beta Chrome which was installed previously was mistakenly see as the Beta. Or it could be the install script needs a fix.

Hi everybody, I've been using portable apps for many years but with Total Commander I really am annoyed by that startup message that the app did not close properly last time.
I understand why the message appears and that the app or windows simply crashed and it did not shutdown correctly, but it absolutely make no difference if I click OK or Cancel as the app simply starts anyway.

So I would like to ask if there is anyway how to disable this message pernamently? I simply don't want to see it ever again even if the app crashes.

Profiles in C:\Users ? It's silly... this is not really portable! Make something really portable, please!

Or better, take a look at Floorp... a fork of FF but far superior.

Here: https://portableapps.com/development is invalid link to 'PortableApps.com Application Template 3.8 (Download)' which is set to:
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/PortableApps.com_Application_Template_3.78.zip
but correct link is:

Hey
Sorry if this is a repost.
What's the best way to register a portable app lets say Firefox on Windows 11 as a Standard browser?

Update: When making FF as a Standard browser in the app itself I am able to add it in the win 11 standard apps panel.
Unfortunately it opens now with the clean default FF profile. Any solutions for that?

John, SUMO should be deleted from the app store.
They abandoned it several months ago and shut down their servers so it no longer runs.
Likewise for DUMO.

Hi! I often use PAP on various PCs, some of which are x64, some x86, some have XP or even 2000, some - Windows 11.
It is always pretty hard to have a set of apps which will support all of these.
Sometimes I simply create a double folder for an app where I keep its - let's say - latest x64 version, while in the original folder remains app's legacy x86 version.
Sometimes I try find the oldest version which supports all systems.
I have 2 questions here:
