Lightning Extension


for Thunderbird Portable

As an alternative to Sunbird Portable, you can also use the Lightning Extension from Mozilla. It has the same functionality as Sunbird (scheduling and tasks) except that it installs as an extension, integrating itself into Thunderbird's interface. It also takes up far less space than the standalone Sunbird Portable does.

Download and Installation

You'll need to download the extension to your computer and then install it within Thunderbird:

  1. Click the Download Now link above to go to the Lightning download page
  2. On the Lightning download page, right-click the Install Now button and save the XPI file to your computer or portable device
  3. Within Thunderbird Portable, click Tools - Extensions - Install and then select the file you just saved

Calendar Extension

for Firefox Portable and Thunderbird Portable

The Calendar extension has been dropped in favor of the new Lightning Extension which provides enhanced functionality.

As an alternative to Sunbird Portable, you can also use the Calendar Extension from Mozilla. It has the same functionality as Sunbird (scheduling and tasks) except that it installs as an extension, taking up far less space than the standalone Sunbird Portable does.

Download and Installation

You will need to right-click and then save the XPI to your computer before installing. To install within Firefox, click File - Open and then open the file. To install within Thunderbird, click Tools - Extensions - Install and then open the file. I recommend using the Stable build (based on Sunbid 0.2) but the more adventurous types can use the Experimental build.

* Zend Optimizer
* XAMPP Security

XAMPP Lite leaves off the additional packages and sticks to Apache, mySQL, phpMyAdmin, SQLite and related packages resulting in an installation that's significantly smaller. There are no upgrade packages for XAMPP Lite like there are for XAMPP, though.

Add-Ons: You can also add in Perl or Tomcat with the XAMPP Add-Ons.
