Thunderbird Portable

URLs in TB email with latest Firefox version

Submitted by ratcatcher on July 18, 2012 - 5:29pm

I run (and have done for several years through various versions) the standard version of Firefox on two machines with the PortableApps version of Thunderbird on a USB stick which alternates between the two machines.

In both cases the Firefox installation is standard - just the default profile and it's the default browser on each machine.

Prior to last night's upgrade of Firefox, if I had Firefox open on the machine and clicked on a URL in an email in Thunderbird, it would open up a new tab in the existing copy of FF - which is as expected, and as configured.

T'bird/ office proxy/ privacy

Submitted by whisp3r3r on July 7, 2012 - 12:20am

hi.
my office uses a 'proxy' to connect to the internet to keep an eye on what employees browse in the office. this is fine. but what i was wondering was can Thunderbird (used on a pendrive, of course) be used to check personal email without my office being able to see me login to some personal email account, and can they actually read my messages? i mean, T'bird will of course have to connect to the internet through this 'proxy' thing my office uses, right?
thanks.
appreciate your experience on this...

Duplicate of: https://portableapps.com/node/32536

Just upgraded Thunderbird and tried to read email and it crashed, so re-started and it crashed again. So re-booted to windows and started it and it worked. So went back to Linux and it crashed again... Been using this for the last 6 years, normally very happy with the product, this is the only time I've not been..

Error message as follows:

Unhandled exception: unimplemented function msvcp80.dll.??0?$basic_ifstream@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@@std@@QAE@XZ called in 32-bit code (0x7b83aa52).

Security Error Message

Submitted by Enforcer84 on June 18, 2012 - 5:16pm

I get this when I open Thunderbird Portable:

Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
