Thunderbird Portable or is it?

Submitted by eNdEmiOn on March 14, 2022 - 5:45pm

My PC died so I transferred the backup drive to another system. But when I tried to run Thunderbird Portable (TBP) it told me to go f**k myself. Well it didn't say so literally and I can't recreate the issue with error as now if I try to open the backup it just refuses to open at all. It does show up in Task Manager for a bit but then just disappears.

Thoughts on 64-bit-only for Firefox Beta, Dev, Nightly and Thunderbird Beta

I recently switched the Google Chrome Portable Beta and Dev channels to 64-bit from 32-bit. I did this as it's currently not a dual mode 32-bit + 64-bit app due to the touchy launcher and portablization. I'm considering switching Firefox's Beta, Dev, and Nightly channels as well as Thunderbird's Beta channel to 64-bit only. It's currently a dual mode app, but I'm wagering than anyone wanting to test out upcoming features is probably not using an old Windows 32-bit machine. This would save on build and upload time.

Submitted by paleskin on February 5, 2022 - 12:41pm

I use dual boot windows 10 OSes, if i open the portable iron browser from another windows OS, then all of my add-ons, setting will be gone

this happens when i used the official portable iron browser form their site

will the portable iron browser from this portableapps site, acts any differently ?

the same also applies to the official portable vivaldi,slimjet, opera

and how about all the chromium based portable browsers from portableapps, will they act like the official ones or as true portables ?

Any android emulators?

Submitted by SweetFountain178 on January 29, 2022 - 7:17am

I've been trying to find a portable android emulator for a while now and even though I've seen some attempts at it or even portable VM software, most of it is either too old or not that portable enough.

Is there any emulator that could be put on PortableApps that works and it's fairly recent?

[Fixed] sPortable Ver 8.80.0.143 PAF errors

Submitted by dmkroslindale on January 26, 2022 - 1:29am

sPortable
Ver 8.80.0.143
Windows 10 Ver 21H2

https://portableapps.com/news/2022-01-21--sportable-8.80.0.143-released

Downloaded to USB drive and attempted installation. About halfway through the install an error message came up stating that the version of Skype was not valid and would not be installed.

I closed the PAF installer, deleted it, downloaded a new copy. Same issue with the error message. sPortable (Skype Portable) will not install.
