PortableApps.com Platform

For example, if a Firefox update changes two files, firefox.exe and a .dll, why are all PortableApps users re-downloading the entire Firefox installer? you could just have the installer use an index of the updated installer files, CRC32 or some other hash to verify the already installed unchanged versions, then supply the updated files.

Also, if the altered portions of the updated file contents are very small, you could use something like ParPar to patch those, yielding even more bandwidth.

Hello,
i can't open firefox since the last update from 113.0.1 to 113.0.2. is it possible to fix the problem because i need my bookmarks and my passwords?

XULRunner: Error: Platform version '113.0.2' is not compatible with minVersion >= 113.0.1 maxVersion

Hello,

I have installed the Firefox Portable edition and it is working very fine. I also downloaded the Firefox Developer Portable edition and Firefox Nightly Portable edition, but the problem is that these applications do not work at the same time. I have to close and run them one by one for them to work.

I have this alert message.

Another instance of Firefox is already running.
Please close other instance of Firefox before launching Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition.

Please help!

Thank you.

Whenever I start or shut down the main PortableApps application using Start.exe (or a shortcut for it), a very odd behavior occurs...
I have Firefox installed on my computer as a non-portable app. It is up to date and runs without any issues I have seen. I do NOT have the portable version of Firefox installed as a PortableApp.

Hi,

"Firefox Developer Edition 114.0 beta 1" asks for update aven after it has been already updated.

Thanks for your concern.

Here my "Main" (AppNamePortable) local folder with my added file:

Here-My-Custom-File-Local.png

I want to add this "Here_My_Custom_File" in "Main" (AppNamePortable) folder of the "PAF.exe" file.

I guess this is more of a feature request.
Currently when you uninstall an app via the platform, the contents of symbolic links to sub folders are also removed in stead of just the link.
In my case, for some apps (like visual studio code) I have a symbolic link to the data folder. Installing a new version of Visual studio code takes 2 steps:
- delete the old visual studio code folder via windows explorer (this only removes the link, not the contents)
- create a now symbolic link to the data folder

I've tried to download almost every program (see Note 1, bellow) directly from site (https://portableapps.com/apps), to test all links, and I've found some links not working.

These programs return a "404 Not Found" error, when downloading from their pages:

Not sure if this is a bug or the way the app has been designed but why doesn't the platform restart after updating itself?
