FirefoxPortable.ini not found

My FirefoxPortable.exe can't seem to find FirefoxPortable.ini in the same dir; it doesn't disable the splash screen or set a local homepage as I want it to. The settings work fine in PFF 1.5(PortableFirefox.exe, PortableFirefox.ini).

Any ideas why it can't find it? I tried copying the ini to every single subdir, with no luck.

I regularly move my PFF/FFP dir. Currently the entire path is about 60 characters in length, and contains multiple spaces, but no odd characters. Lots of people seem to be having this problem, though, based on complaint comments found in articles across the web.

So, any ideas?

What are the contents of your FirefoxPortable.ini?

I don't see why that

I don't see why that matters.

Right now,
----------------------------------------
[FirefoxPortable]
FirefoxDirectory=App\firefox
ProfileDirectory=Data\profile
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
PluginsDirectory=Data\plugins
FirefoxExecutable=firefox.exe
AdditionalParameters=
LocalHomepage=
DisableSplashScreen=true
AllowMultipleInstances=false
DisableIntelligentStart=false
SkipChromeFix=false
SkipCompregFix=false
RunLocally=false

# The above options are explained in the included readme.txt
# This INI file is an example only and is not used unless it is placed as described in the included readme.txt

----------------------------------------

New info: The FFP launcher finds the .ini under Windows 2000, but not under Windows XP. The path was identical for both operating systems.
