what's the best way to sync between Portable FF and locally installed FF? what's the best extension? I don't mean only bookmarks but also addons and browser setting.

Can I just copy my profile folder to a freshly installed FF?
Yes, you can.
I might suggest using a bit of batch file goodness.
If you are not familiar with batch files, they are simple text files that utilize the command line usage for the programs you wish to execute. (anyone else, please feel free to provide a better description) So, for example, I would suggest writing a batch file that 1) executed a sync command (for syncing your profiles), and then 2) executed your firefox portable. I would reccomend maybe trying Toucan for syncing purposes.
The batch file might simply look something like this (as ran from a folder - or root - that contained the respective programs in these locations):
./Toucan/Toucan.exe jobname
./FirefoxPortable/FirefoxPortable.exe
Simply type something like the above into a text file and save it, making sure to set "save as type" as "all files," and then appending the extension '.bat' to the end of your desired filename.
Download Toucan and see "help" for additional info about its command line usage.
I'll try it!
