Today I upgraded my TB portable standalone (no portable platform) from 60.9.1 to 68.12.1 As that what it said I could upgrade to in the about window. All worked fine. Now the about window tells me I can upgrade to 78.14. But there is no portable version portable version of that available (sorry I know Mozilla do not support the standalone version). There is a portable version of 91.6. Can I upgrade from 68.12.1 to 91.6? Thanks!

I made a copy of the 13GB portable directory and then tried it, this upgrade path works! :-) Confirmed! Not sure why the about window suggested the intermediate was needed.

Good to know, there is no way to stop the upgrade message showing in the portable that I can find which is a pain. Based on this maybe I will just upgrade!
