Chrome portable will not remember passwords.

Submitted by nocternalvibe on May 8, 2020 - 2:39am

I am trying to setup Chrome on a thumb drive with multiple profiles and I would like to save the UN/Password within Chrome not on the computer. I did follow the instructions on how to change the ini file to save passwords in Chrome but it does not work.
Does anyone have ideas or a better solution? Thank you.

CCleaner

I can't get the latest version of CCleaner to download/update. It gives an error message. It says download is incomplete or corrupt... Any idea what's wrong?

Minor annoyance: Updating apps when there isn't enough space on the disk screws up the previous version/existing install, too

You've probably heard about these low end Windows laptops that previously came with as low as 32GB flash storage and nowadays 64GB flash storage. Obviously space is an issue (and the old adage, that there isn't a big enough drive that you cannot fill up with crap still applies), but if Windows doesn't find enough space to update itself, it simply doesn't update itself and the existing install still works. PortableApps.com apps don't. Is it a bug or a feature?

Portable Firefox Crashing Often

Submitted by dwtg7 on April 29, 2020 - 10:04pm

Portable Firefox crashes often...will not remain stable for more than a few hours of being open (many times less) such that I need to close and restart it...freezes up often and does NOT offer to send a crash report.
I maintain the latest version 75.0 (64-Bit) and have Windows 10 as my PC OS.

This problem occurs across a variety of web sites so it is non-specific to any one, nor is there a pattern to its crash behavior. Even something as simple as clicking on a link can freeze it up requiring a restart.

Any assistance to resolve this is greatly appreciate.

IP Messenger HSTools Portable

Hello PortableApps Community,

I am posting here as I believe this post could also be in the new portable Internet app category but probably not in Internet app support though.

I have been using IP Messenger from SHIROUZU Hiroaki (https://ipmsg.org/en/) and find it to be very useful for my workflow.
With that I decided to create a portable app out of it.

Before I go into details, below is the download link,

I was looking for SmithTech's AppLauncher and found someday changed to Portable Startup Utility and that is already old, ancient and outdated... OMG this world had changed a lot!!!
Is there an updated alternative software?
Thanks in advance
