FF Portable 52 ESR lost search engines

Submitted by mozfan on August 31, 2018 - 3:25pm

I switched from XP to win7 and everything was fine till I moved my search box into tab menu to make all other icons fit in the navigation bar. Not sure if it was the cause, but I lost all search engines and any ability to add or reset to default (greyed out). Someone suggested this fix in about:config browser.search.showOneOffButtons, but the line is not there. I tried placing the search box back into navigation bar - no icons; tried in FF61 on another thumb drive - works in both places. Safe mode restored all search engine icons as well.

Please remove the annoying message that the application didn't shutdown correctly.

First, that for an excellent work, but I have a suggestion that I believe will help everybody.

Please remove the annoying message that the application didn't shutdown correctly.

Indeed very annoying/stupid message that doesn't resolve anything and is very unproductive.

Thank you

running .exe from USB to store App on Usb

Submitted by maanhu on August 28, 2018 - 7:49am

Hello, I work at a private company who has a pretty good IT controlled environment, and it will not let me download anything to my computer without passing it by them first, wich is ussually not a problem if it is worthy of there time to install for you. I am trying to bypass the pain of this be using portableapps to open the .exe file from USB to save everything on the USB file. Then i could just start a program from my USB.

Is this possible. I have not been successful yet.

Thank You for your time in advance.

Hello everyone,
Yes I'm new to PortableApps.com and thought I would introduce myself. I will scour the forums and try to read all the rules and regulations and if anyone has any tips or directions toward any tutorials etc it would be greatly appreciated.
I hope to create many new portable apps to share with everyone in the near future.
Peace.

sPortable (SKYPE) really portable?

Submitted by heinz57g on August 18, 2018 - 5:30am

as installed on my stick initially, it works fine after putting in my account details, and remembers them at each login.

if i move the stick to another computer (point: portable!), it does not: remembers account name, but not the password.

question: where does sPortable store the password, and why is this not moved along? any workaround?

greetings - heinz -

USB Drive no longer working properly

Submitted by MENINBLK on August 15, 2018 - 9:09am

Hello,

I purchased a 32GB USB Drive from the Portableapps.com website about 5 years ago.
The USB Drive is beginning to fail. It corrupts files and photos even after a full re-format using SD Formatter V4.0.

Your website still says that these USB products have a LIFETIME WARRANTY.
Where can I submit a claim for a replacement USB Drive made the same as mine with the silkscreening on it ?

Thank you,

Peter...
