Guys, how do you run profile manager in the portable version of PM? [/ b]
Who knows, write a small manual, or throw a link where to read,
and how to create additional profiles ? Is it possible in portable ? Thanks a lot.

The portable browser is not designed for multiple profiles.
HOWEVER: you can simply create a copy of the portable browser in a different folder, and it will have its own profile.

The best way to update is to download a new version of the portable and copy the backups and user (and maybe downloads too if you want to carry them over) subfolders across to the new installation. (and if needed, the Lib/Mozilla/Plugins folder if you have a local plugin)
