Auto Update does not work on portable version #1030

What happened?

To start off this could very well be my fault but trying to fix it has been taxing.

I first tried to install this browser via the AppImage but the AppImage refused to integrate using AppImage launcher, then trying to just install it my self led to rofi not being able to launch it for some unknown reason. Putting it in the path didn't help and my .desktop file pointed directly to the AppImage so I have no idea why it wouldn't launch.

Then I decided to install the portable version and I installed it to /usr/share where I have installed similar applications. The app now refuses to update, so now when you guys come out with your daily update, I have to manually download the tar then unpack it to /usr/share which is annoying but not a deal breaker. I thought it was a privilege problem and tried installing it in a new location (and changing the location of the binary in my .desktop file) but I can't seem to verify if that works because rofi refuses to launch it in a another location and I have no idea why. If this is my fault then please tell me I am pulling my hair out trying to fix this.
