app.update.auto

Have you checked the app.update.auto setting in about:config?

Reset

There may be a partial update already started. You can reset it by going to your FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox directory and deleting the updates directory.

It's also worth nothing that automatic updates are disabled by default in Firefox Portable.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Might be the same setting

as J Neutron mentioned, but go into "Tools>Options>Advanced>Update" and uncheck the Firefox box under the "Automatically check for updates to".
