I've noticed that Thunderbird Portable can sometimes leave behind an empty Extensions folder within APPDATA\Mozilla when installing certain extensions and restarting the current release of Thunderbird. This bug is noted and will be addressed in the next release.

Thunderbird Portable vs Firefox Installed vs RAM Disk

Submitted by subdivider on February 2, 2015 - 12:06pm

Hello, since I recently bought SSD, I desided to redirect (mklink command) Firefox folders from %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA% to RAM Disk (ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver).
More specifically I set up persistent RAM Drive R: that is inicialized from *.img file during logon and written to *.img (on hdd) during logoff.

Then I created symbolic links by
mklink /D %APPDATA%\Mozilla R:\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla
mklink /D %LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla R:\AppData\Local\Mozilla

Everything works as expected (preventing writes on SSD)...

Upgrade to Thunderbird 31.3.0 and lost all previous email settings

Submitted by DrAJAllen on December 7, 2014 - 9:29pm

I have been using Thunderbird portable for probably close to 10 years now on a portable drive. I was having no problems until the recent upgrade to 31.3.0 when all of a sudden it starts asking me if I want a new email address and all my old email accounts and files have vanished. What is going on?

Portable are different

Hi,

unfortunately there are some comments in support forum about Thunderbird which is NOT belongs to portable versions. (i.e. *.xpi cannot install to portable).

Unfortunately the original and portable versions are mixed.

I suggest you to correct them - or improve portable versions to original version level. Wink
