Thunderbird Portable

The other week my computer at work was upgraded to Windows 11 after I had issues with it trying to boot.

About the same time I also got the latest update for Portable Thunderbird to update it to 128.4.1 on my portable hard-drive.

Now when I try to run Portable Thunderbird on that work computer the app window tries to display but only shows all white and then the "Thunderbird Crash Reporter" dialog opens after about 5 seconds.

Now taking the hard-drive home. I plug it into my laptop with Windows 10 running on it and everything opens normally.

Hi @all,

I have now for quite a while had problems w my TB portable use. It keeps crashing. I talked to their forum and they have released a new version 128.3.0esr. When will it be updated in here??

I am working on custom CSS for TB 102.10.1 on Win 10 and have discovered that the Portable install is not using the system color scheme for the menu bar at the top. A "regular" installation defaults to use the system color for the menu without any custom CSS. In a "regular" install AccentColor will change the color of an element to the accent color chosen in Windows settings. In the Portable install, it does not have any effect on the elements that I have experimented with.

Hello. Currently using the installed version 128.1.0esr x64. I use it for work and require maximum reliability and don't have any plugins. I just make do with the stock install. Wondering if I can copy the profile folder in \AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\ into the portable version and will just work?
Cheers.

I see that PortableAppsMenu says there's a Thunderbird 128.1.0 update, but the website downloads 128.0.1 when I surf/click the link manually.

Was able to hotwire the download...

Hello,

I've been using Thunderbird Portable for many years, 32-bit version, now I tried the beta version for bug fix.

I downloaded ThunderbirdPortableTest_128.0_Beta_1_English.paf.exe portable version (64-bit) from PortableApps.com, created backup of my Thunderbird folder, installed portable version over the existing portable 32-bit version, it was started correctly, window positions and sizes are preserved, all settings and accounts are preserved, even though it's a 64-bit version, I updated it to beta 4 successfully.

Can someone tell me if there is a copy of the registry keys in a portable app? I have a copy of thunderbird that I would like to stop checking for updates

Hi,

I have the Versio 115.7.0 (64-bit) and want update to 115.9.0 but the download is just 2.2 kB/s. I have that issue since few days already. The download directly from SourceForge takes around 2 minutes.

I am in the Philippines and have 70 Mbps download speed. Should I update TB over the "Abound Mozilla Thunderbird"-Window.

Thanks and regards,

Lukas

Edit: I think every app is very slow. KeePassXC just 3.0 kB/s. FireFox I can't update, I says there is an error maybe during an incomplete download. I have to try it again in few hours.

I'm new to Portable Apps. This is my first post.

I've read a lot of material on portableapps.com, but I still don't understand how a portable app works with the Windows registry.

I'm starting with Portable Thunderbird so I'll use that as an example. I installed just the portable app itself, not the full portable apps launcher, since I'm just trying this out for now.
