I recently installed Firefox Portable 2.0, having used Firefox Portable for almost a year now. With this new version, I noticed that when I close the program and then open it again, any changes I have made to the layout of Firefox is reset. For example, Firefox always opens in a smaller window, not maximized as I had it before closing. Another example, any changes I made to the toolbars (getting rid of the bookmarks toolbar, in particular) are undone when I reopen. I tried disabling all my extensions, but this still did not fix the problem.
When I installed 2.0, I copied my profile from my old Firefox directory to the new. Could this be the cause of the problem? Thank you for any help!

FF2 has some bugs that prevent it from properly closing with the anti-phishing filter enabled (the default). If you unplug the drive while firefox.exe is still running, even if you closed all the windows, you lose all your changes to stuff like that.
You may have even corrupted your profile which would cause this issue as well. Neither of these issues is specific to FFP... it's a FF problem. You can find info on resetting the toolbar settings in this article. Your profile is in FirefoxPortable\Data\profile.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
