Description
Needs to inform the user that if they choose the portable installation, they should change the "path" in org.jabref.jabref.json to point to where the portable was downloaded. So for instance, if the portable edition was downloaded to "/home/user/Downloads/JabRef-5.3-portable_linux/JabRef" then one would have to change the path in org.jabref.jabref.json to "/home/user/Downloads/JabRef-5.3-portable_linux/JabRef/lib/jabrefHost.py"

Research direction
Locate the browser-extension installation guide and review the section covering portable installation with Ubuntu and Chrome. Update it to explain that org.jabref.jabref.json must point to the downloaded portable JabRef directory's lib/jabrefHost.py, using the path example from the issue; done when users can configure the portable installation without guessing the path.
