extensions lost in iron portable 32bit windows

Post by rryi »

I use the iron 32bit windows "portable" version 122.0.6200.0. After setup, I installed and configured several chrome extensions (from chrome web store), all fine and working. I copied the iron folder to another windows machine. Executing ironPortable.exe does work, but all installed extensions are missing, extension manager list is empty.

How do I get installed extensions working when I start IronPortable.exe on another PC?

Good evening. I've got same "problem". i think these is specific for Chromium source-based browsers.
How i fix it: After reinstalling MS Win and firstly run Iron i have only my bookmarks. I go to the chrome web-store
and install all extensions i use. Iron asks me to reset the extension settings to defaults or leave settings as is.
And all works as before.

Thx alot for your tip. All my extensions have my settings after installing on a different machine.
i think these is specific for Chromium source-based browsers.
At least Opera (the only other chromium-based browser known to me with a portable installation option) keeps all extensions when starting on another machine, "only" cookies and maybe further website related data (passwords? I never store them in a browser) are lost when the portable installation is used on a different machine.
