Looking for an Address Book plugin or extension.

Submitted by tanker on June 30, 2008 - 12:32pm

Does anyone out there know of an extension or plug-in that would add the functionality of viewing and editing an address book file in Firefox portable or Sunbird portable? I think the Thunderbird address book is a .mab file.

I use Thunderbird for my e-mail client at home but using Thunderbird portable isn't really practical for me. I really didn't want to load Thunderbird portable just for the access to my address book.

Would anyone like EyeOS portable? It's an open-source, web based operating system. I've been working on a portable version for a couple days, so if anyone else besides me would like it, please post here. Yes, you can get a free eyeos account at eyeos.info, but there server's sometimes slow, and, just for privacy's sake.

Edit: I have the installer posted in the beta testing forum. Get it here:

Is PortableApps Menu Unstable?

Submitted by fellipeh on June 26, 2008 - 3:05pm

Hello, first, sorry my poor english, second.. I like PortableApps, and I use a lot, but, in several times, Portable Menu seem to be frozen, when I set mouse up the tray icon. show me the hint, but, when I click or double-click to show me a menu, nothing appears, To work and get the menu, I made this: Kill app in Task Manager and run again.

My question is, its normal? Whats is my problem in PortableApps?

Best Regards,
Fellipe H.

My Autostart file got over written. How can I recreate without reinstall?

Submitted by JRSofty on June 26, 2008 - 3:10am

I wasn't paying attention and put my stick into a computer that apparently had a virus and it overwrote my autostart.inf in my stick which I find to be quite annoying.

Anyway can someone tell me what is suppose to be in the file so that I can recreate it without having to reinstall portable apps menu again?
