TB-p opens link via temporary local file, how to switch this off?

Submitted by gurkc006 on September 18, 2007 - 2:56pm

I´m using TB portable 2.0.0.6 (20070728). When I click on a link in an email, TB calls the default browser. But instead of invoking the webpage from the link, the browser loads a html-file from a local temporary folder (eg. C:\temp\user.htm, when the original link in the mail was https://portableapps.com/user). So it seems, that TB tries to load the webpage itself to a local copy and then invokes the default browser with this temporary file.
This might be a security feature to not leave any information in the browsers history. The files itself are deleted when exiting TB.

TB 2.0.0.6 PE peculiar rendering problem

Submitted by nanook on September 16, 2007 - 1:10pm

Hi!

I just installed Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 PE and already having a problem with it. It renders the inbox message list quite disturbingly. It's hard to explain so I took a screenshot that can be found here.

I have been desperately trying to get it to work but with little luck. I hope someone knows a solution because I really like the program. I'm running TB from my USB-stick on a Dell Latitude D8100 laptop. The problem doesn't occur on my desktop computer.

Portable Thunderbird Virus with AVG ver. 7.5.485 - 269.13.13

Submitted by markr64 on September 10, 2007 - 10:17am

Dear Loyal Mozilla Users

Today after updating AVG I got a Virus alert on my Thunderbird Portable stating this virus "Obfustat.NPD" was a Threat. I tried to Heal it but it still comes up. I tried to Move to Vault but it still comes up. putting 2 and 2 together - I figured out it is the "newadvsplash.dll" screen that come up when I launch the portable version. Personally I think this issue is AVG fault and needs to be corrected by them. But if Anyone as a clue on how to fix this issue - I would be happy to try it.

Submitted by brianpbrown on September 10, 2007 - 5:36am

I have been using Pstart for about 9 months and recently changed to the Portable Apps Suite and am having trouble with Autorun. It works on some computers but not all.
Sometimes I have to open Windows Explorer to open Portable Apps and on some of the computers I use at work, when I open Thunderbird, I do not get requester box to enter my password to receive/sent emails. All the computers I am using are running XP SP2. Some work OK, some don't. Can anyone explain and offer solution?

Hi all,

I'm using Thunderbird on my laptop, but now I'ld like to use the Portable Thunderbird version to use it from an USB disk, so I can use my client from every computer.

Could you please tell me how to trasfer all the e-mails, filters, attachment and so on from Thuderbird to Portable Thunderbird?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Pierluigi

running from a CD

Submitted by alaxa on September 1, 2007 - 11:13am

Sorry if it's already covered and my search was not very deep, but I need to understand if running from a CD (readonly file system) means that in any case the files are copied to a TEMP directory. If so, is there any way to run it from the CD for just reading the email? I think it's not useful to wait until 700MB of profile is copied into $TEMP.
am I wrong?

thanks,
a.
