GoogleChromePortable won't update itself

My GoogleChromePortable won't update through the internal updater, through Settings> Help > About Chrome. It keeps posting an error that says updater failed to launch. All my other portables from PortableApps.com update perfectly, and I'm assuming this problem is Chrome's fault. BUT, I'm a happy camper, because John keeps updating the portable releases right on time. I no sooner saw the notice online that a new version of Chrome was available than I found an updated version on PortableApps.com that updated my GoogleChromePortable perfectly. Thank you (again), John T. Haller.

Adapting custom buttons and legacy extensions to Librewolf Portableapps install

I posted here looking for an answer

It's working fine for my Firefox non-portableapps install, I'm tried to set it up for my portableapps LIbrewolf install. I "think" I did everything else right, but I don't know where to put the contents of these installation folder scripts. In Firefox, they go directly into the install directory.

Can we use the Firefox profile manager

Can I set it up to work with Libreworf or Firefox? I tried to do it for Librewolf, with the conventional Firefox approach

"E:\My Documents\A_FIREFOX BROWSER\FIREFOX\firefox.exe" -p --allow-downgrade

but as I'm sure you know, it resulted in wiping out my sessions and settings, or maybe it just pointed to something else??

Hi Team...

I am having problems downloading recent apps updates. The ones that are automatically shown on PA startup as having an update available are:

Calibre 2.26.0
Opera 102.0.4880.40
μTorrent 3.6.0.46896

When I start the automatic updates I get:

Start Screenpresso with a Command-Line-Parameter

Submitted by OLLI_S on September 1, 2023 - 3:45pm

Hello,

the application Screenpresso consists of an EXE file.
When I start it, I can select to install it in my system or to run it portable.
In both cases the application data is stored in the %appdata% folder.

There is a command-line parameter to force Screenpresso to store the user-data in the folder of the EXE file:
--portablemode
I tested this by creating a link that contains the command line parameter and it works.
