only a different way to made them portable.
we use an easy to handle "x-program.ini" file to store program
settings.

X-softwares save all USER profile data in the "USER" folder
So, when you will update the program, you are pretty sure to avoid any
data lost.
And, moreover, copying wherever you want the "user" folder, you have a
backup of all your personal settings (also add-on).

Anyway also the portableapps project is very good.
It's up to You, find wich is better for your needs.

In PortableApps you copy your profile folder to Portable Firefox (or
Thunderbird) and when you update the program * all settings (as well as
plugins and add-ons) are saved.

* Either by opening Portable Fx/TB and the menu Help > Check for Updates
or by installing a new Portable Fx/TB version "over" the old one.

Ok, more or less same behaviour!
Let me say, I don't use PortableApps software very often... ;-)
Anyway IMHO PortableApps portabilizations are really well done.

But I prefer X-softwares.......
You can understand why :D
