Firefox Portable 13.0.1, Thunderbird Portable 13.0.1 leave behind an empty folder within %LOCALAPPDATA%. There you can find the empty folders Mozilla\Firefox and Thunderbird. This is a result of a newer version of the underlying engine.

Thank you for the fix. Now both apps works fine. Is it possible, that you explain me, how you have changed the code to reach that aim?

I've added to X-Thunderbird.ini:


DirRemove=$LocalAppData$\$AppName$|e

in the [RunAfter] section

And I've added to X-Firefox.ini:


DirRemove=$LocalAppData$\Mozilla|e

In this way only the empty folders are removed from $LocalAppData$ on exit.
