Tame Thunderbird (make portable in Linux)

    I must say that making a portable version in linux is often much easier, so

    let's get started: 1. Download the bz2 thunderbird archive, for example, from here
    2. Unpack ( wherever we want, preferably fs so that it is not fat / ntfs ) to an arbitrary place A (still needed)
    3. Run and configure (for now, everything is the usual way).
    4. Close the Thunderbird and transfer to the A directory ~ / .thunderbird
    5. Dessert:
    5.1. Create a file (I named it run.sh) with the following contents: 5.2. We save the file and make it executable (I think it’s not worth explaining how) Now, when you run run.sh, our tamed thunderbird will be loaded. The purpose of this: I often rearrange the OS, but I got tired of restoring mail and found such a solution for myself;) UPD : also works with Skype

    #!/bin/bash
    ln -s -f -t ~ "`pwd`/.thunderbird"
    "`pwd`/thunderbird"
    rm ~/.thunderbird
