Just yesterday some of my extensions quit loading, as well as the theme I use. Would this be a corrupted Profile, and is there anything I can do about it? My passwords are all still there, as well as bookmarks.
First noted this on a Windows 7 netbook, and again today on XP computers at work. At one point I reinstalled the Whitehart theme and all the missing extensions were restored. At home tonight they are gone again as is the theme.
Oh,Firefox Portable 3.6.3

From the Error Console:
Error: ExtensionManager:_finishOperations - failure, catching exception - lineno: 4484 - file: file:///D:/PortableApps/FirefoxPortable/App/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js - TypeError: installLocation is null
Some sort of path problem? If so, why?
This sounds like the extensions list is partially broken. Searching revealed this bug report which seems to be somewhat relevant, as suggested there, try deleting extensions.rdf from the profile (in the portable version that should be Data\profile\extensions.rdf).

I will follow up on this. Just read a thread somewhere that someone overcame this by simply installing a new extension. Tried it, and the extensions are back. Seems plausible since I suppose the .rdf file would be rewritten.
Make me nervous that my USB drive may be exhibiting some errors.
You'd better dust off Toucan, it never hurts to have a backup.
