Missing texts on the cookie buttons

Submitted by Barrby on February 16, 2024 - 3:35am

Going to portableapps.com site I see the "standard" cookie confirmation request. If I choose Manage options, I can "somehow" (one or two checkboxes per option without explanation) edit my choices and I should confirm it somehow. But there are three ovals (micro-buttons) without any text only! White one, black and green. How the user should to know (without studying HTML source), what to choose?

BTW, I didn't find any contact / FAQ / forum ... about the portableapps.com site... Sad

[Closed] Clear history when LIbrewolf closes re-enabled

Submitted by nolanoro on February 14, 2024 - 1:16pm

When an update is performed, will portableapps re-enable "Clear History"? I just opened Librewolf to a blank session.

I read the disclaimer in the settings. I've been keenly aware that I must be sure to disable "Clear History" to maintain my session and history. We can see that I have "Remember Browsing and Download History" enabled. But now, 'Clear History when Librewolf closes" is selected. Why would I have both selected?

Not sure, but I also "believe" that I created the related about:config commands. If I did, they are no longer in effect.

Opera Developer Portable 108.0.5063.0

Submitted by AxelMoor on February 4, 2024 - 8:31pm

Hey guys, I just did it: I finished the tests a few hours ago. I managed to make a portable version of Opera Developer (the missing piece) based on the PortableApps.com Opera GX as a template. As a portable app enthusiast and Developer version fan, it felt like completing a crucial quest! Please, John, this is not a self-promotion - this is a try to cover a long-time need. I made it for my personal use.

Any way to disable the annoying message that my app did not close properly last time?

Submitted by Killerko on January 28, 2024 - 12:04pm

Hi everybody, I've been using portable apps for many years but with Total Commander I really am annoyed by that startup message that the app did not close properly last time.
I understand why the message appears and that the app or windows simply crashed and it did not shutdown correctly, but it absolutely make no difference if I click OK or Cancel as the app simply starts anyway.

So I would like to ask if there is anyway how to disable this message pernamently? I simply don't want to see it ever again even if the app crashes.

Firefox Portable as Standard Browser

Submitted by MrSpice on January 24, 2024 - 6:02am

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?

SUMO

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.
