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:
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/PortableApps.com_Application_Template_3.8.zip

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:

Everywhere I go here , I see this. Also on Chrome, but I was only able to post using Chrome. On Firefox, save button greyed out.

The balance of this message applies to Firefox.

Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically". Apparently, not so currently.

I also had problems trying to edit this message field, i.e. In the previous sentence. I could not access the "Web page addresses" text area after posting it.

I use the platform on onedrive successfully on a pc and have the onedrive app installed on my iPad.
Can anyone advise on the steps I need to take to use the platform on my iPad?

Hello,

I didn't find the search function in the forum, so I will ask directly. With portable apps, where are the registry entries stored? Surely for most apps there need to be a rerouting since they otherwise would request infos from the windows registry directly.

I would like to change some setting that I would have to change in the registry normally, but with portable apps it's likely some file, right?

Thank you!

I know this isn't the right platform for talking to you, but I don't know where that one is, so here goes: You told us some time ago that the ad saturation thing was temporary, to test various things, and I think everybody understood the need for exploring ways to increase the revenue of PA.com. I, for one, am relieved to see that the experimental stage appears to have passed, and I just want to thank you for giving us back the site we hold dear without being bowled over by ads everywhere. I hope the revenue situation is improving.

I have been happily using Thunderbird portable for some long time now (I see my membership here is 17+ yrs). In past years I did use it to travel with just a USB drive or a hard drive, but in more recent times, I am realizing I am now only ever on my PC, or on my own laptop, just plugging my drive into which ever I will be using at the time (PC at home and laptop to travel)
