Portable...???

[Jasantes]

Profile in C:\Users... This is a joke!!!

[adeii]

OK. Is this version works for you? https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/supermium-portable

[Jasantes]

Ok, thanks for your response, but the same issue perists, like all portable Chromium forks. But I found a solution, add to the executable shortcut:
--disable-machine-id --disable-encryption --user-data-dir="D:...profile path"

[adeii]

Must be problem with portapp project. But --user-data-dir="../Data" could be added as flag as like as --no-sandbox.
Thanks for an idea.

Try this Supermium with older PortApp 3.9.0. Works fine on my Win7.

BTW, I can't log into the profile account to syncronize. It looks greyed.
Should I open a new issue?

No need. Close Firefox. Rename Data folder to something like Data1, try again.
This will make you new profile. If synchronize works, try to overwrite files from Data1 to new Data folder.

[Jasantes]

Perfect! But I did My way... from the profile button I made a new profile.
Thank you very much and greetings from Uruguay.

It's marked closed but the problem persists.
Librewolf on startup creates a folder in C:Users ... which remains empty (fortunately) - the profiles are stored within the application directory.
Not so with Zen and Supermium. Zen stores the profiles entirely in C. Supermium (portableapps) has strange enough two user data folders, one in C, the other within the application directory.

Ok. Here is easier way than making *-portable.exe, run browsers with -profile flag.
According to project https://github.com/wysh3/Zen-Browser-Portable, its launcher\zenwindowsportable.bat would make Zen full portable for USB-flash.
So, put *portable.bat in root folder (where are app, data and *-portable.exe) and try does it work.

Librewolf 135 also creates a folder in C:\Users ... which remains empty (fortunately) and the profiles are stored within the application directory even with -p flag. So, LW is made that way.

[nima-amin]

Nope, folders are back in Local and Roaming. I deleted them before adding the bat file, then started the browser again - and back they are.

[adeii]

Add at the end of zen-portable.bat following:

timeout 11
rmdir %appdata%\zen /q /s
rmdir %localappdata%\zen /q

[nima-amin]

Nope - unless I did this bat creating wrong.
This is what I copied from your links in the editor and saved as zen-portable.bat:

set APP_DIR=%~dp0\app
set DATA_DIR=%~dp0\data
"%APP_DIR%\zen.exe" -profile "%DATA_DIR%\profile1" -no-remote
timeout 11
rmdir %appdata%\zen /q /s
rmdir %localappdata%\zen /q

I had zen open definitely longer than 10 seconds.

[adeii]

Try increase timeout to 20 or 30.

@snowFox:

Nope, language settings are saved now, but the portability problem still is not solved. Nothing is deleted, and voila the Snowfox-folders in Local and Roaming are full with files.

[adeii]

So, this will demand more fixing inside *fox.exe or browser/omni.ja than just flags.
I will reconsider this later https://github.com/Heptazhou/Snowfox-Portable/blob/master/README.md

Update: This solution use AutoHotKey script to tweak registry, use Profile\Default as storage, and delete Local and Roaming folders on C: after use. Also there is Ahk2Exe compiler, so SnowFox-Portable.exe was made.
